Why do people who say this always look like they have way too much Neanderthal DNA?

I think calling someone your beau has become gender neutral over time, but it would depend on the person I guess. I just feel like datemate is not it. Never really had to think about it before as it's already old fashioned to say boyfriend or girlfriend really. Just say your dating

The game I'm playing has a non-binary character you can date. When you start dating their status changes to 'datemate' and as a non-binary person can I just say, 'thanks, I hate it'

Surely 'Beaufriend' was right there?

Just need to transition to reach the real echelons of the liberal elite. That's where the real fetus eating money is!

Solidarity with @unison.org.uk workers at the University of Bristol who are striking against a 3.4% real terms pay cut.

Since 2009 higher education pay has lost around 28% of its value.

It's time for University workers to be paid fairly.

We're all hoping for Starmer's resignation but Sarwar's resignation is a decent consolation prize

Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

The demo video is just that scene from the claymation film 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' about Satan

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

It's full of lots of rape and duplicitous war tactics so maybe it really does represent white people!

Marina Hyde went for this approach too and it's like everyone has conveniently forgotten Ghislaine Maxwell and that Fergie was approached to rehabilitate Epstein's image. It's as much a rich people thing as it is a patriarchy thing but the press doesn't want to reflect on that for some reason...

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

The cope from Labour loyalists is very funny and desperate. The arguments are thin:

1) Chaos in Labour/govt would be bad for the country...too late and Starmer is the one to blame

2) he just made an error of judgement...that is enough to get a PM to resign when the error is so egregious

I feel like that cartoon of someone sunbathing then having intrusive thoughts about impending climate disaster... I'll celebrate Starmer's downfall then the intrusive thought, 'whoever's next will be just as bad' takes control
