In fairness, they already have to do that every time Trump stands up

No, because it was updated in real-time as an additional stop resulting from the emergency incident. LNER services do not stop at Huntingdon outside of exceptional circumstances. It’s a credit to the professionalism and quick response of the driver that it was able to stop there at all

It wasn’t - it was booked to pass through Huntingdon on the Fast line, which isn’t platformed. Swift communication and coordination from the driver to signallers/control enabled it to be diverted into the platform on the slow line, probably saving lives and preventing further casualties

Due to the chance juxtaposition of a gif of Miss Piggy appearing directly above your post, my brain read this as “It takes like 10 kermits” 🤦🏻‍♂️ Then again, the frogs do seem to be heading the frontline of the resistance right now against this fascist kakistocracy

Even worse when (as is the case in my local ubiquitous US coffee chain) several of those baristas also happen to be trans/non-binary themselves…

Well put 👏🏼

I came here hoping for a WENUS reference, and you didn’t disappoint

Chick chicky boom chick chicky boom chick chicky boom!

Every past version of you was trying to protect your truth until you could live it safely.

That’s not wasted time. That’s loyalty.

Transitioning later in life is how you repay that loyalty, by finally giving yourself the freedom you always deserved.

I’d just go all in and crown myself “Queen Anteefa”

My cats have to disrupt the space/time continuum before they can fall asleep

I read that initially as “Swedish chef of defence” and even though I know it’s wrong I can’t unsee it - or get the Muppet chef out of my head

Would that make them head of “Anteefa”?

(Said respectfully, just to be clear - I wish I could smile like that!)

“Possibility of sharp market correction has increased” sounds ominously euphemistic… in the same vein as “rapid unscheduled disassembly”

a crowd of people with the words " i think that the time to start worrying " on the bottom Alt: A gif of a scene from South Park facing a seated crowd of South Park residents, debating the question “Should I start to worry?”. Concerned resident Chris Stotch raises his hand and stands up, saying (captioned) "I think that the time to start worrying is coming"

This immediately comes to mind

It’s almost as if that’s by design… who’d have thought? /s

The trans community would like a word…

I know nothing about flooring, but I do know a plank when I see one

a man in a suit and tie stands next to a woman in a red jacket .. Alt: A gif of Jeremy Corbyn with his arm around a woman in a red jacket, amidst a sea of press camera flashes. They both point at each other playfully, before Corbyn epically misreads the situation and goes in for a high five as the woman puts her arm back down to her side. The result is a cringeworthy full contact palm-to-boob slap.

Although Jeremy Corbyn famously high-fived a boob once

Or both

See for me it kinda works as-is - I read it as “- and *ANOTHER* THING..!!”

But at the same time, they simply cannot help themselves from sticking the boot in, as it’s beyond them to offer trans people any shred of humanity or dignity in the midst of a vicious transphobic crusade they’re still trying to pass off to Joe Public as “respectful debate”

The GC movement depends on positioning itself as the “reasonable” voice in the debate on trans rights, as perceived by the average person (as in, those who are generally ignorant of the issue and are un-engaged). They’ll moderate their language accordingly, disguise it with “just asking questions”

This has become a weapon of choice of the GC movement. So long as it is accompanied by a generous helping of “plausible deniability”, they will waste no opportunity to malign, denigrate and dehumanise trans people in every conceivable way. Language matters and they know it

I don’t wish to bestow Glinner with the presumption of intelligence that he likely doesn’t have, but if true, it shows just how deliberate and rabidly obsessive his dehumanisation of trans people really is.

Just checked that out, wasn’t disappointed - thanks for that
