These stories hit differently when the same shit is happening in Portland.

The war on drugs has failed.
It punishes those with addictions, drives drug sales through the black market and ultimately kills people.

We need to grow up and make what’s so obviously the right decision.
We need to stop criminalising drugs.

Dunkin' Donuts basically saying this

With the EHRC acting like it is. It shows that it is really important to keep trying to get in contact with your MP.

We have seen that this is working.

A meme with a character from Watchmen whose name I can’t remember, saying: It is 1982. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2010. I am twenty-nine years old. Tron bombs at the box office It is 2025. I am fourty-four years old. Tron bombs at the box office

This meme made me laugh.

Greta was stripped and had soldiers film themselves with her while Israel's far-right minister Ben-Gvir screamed at her. Absolutely degrading sexual abuse and the Swedish foreign minister's reaction is essentially "she asked for it".

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Trans people at risk of exclusion from many UK public spaces, rights expert says

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

Re: the Labour shenanigans detailed in The Fraud. "Gordstein", it should be noted, was not a real person but an invention of Euan Philipps of Labour Against Antisemitism, who is not Jewish but made complaints under what he obviously considered to be a 'Jewish-sounding' name

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

I want to once again recommend one of the single greatest podcast episodes of all time

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

> hear about a new girl boss fighting for peace and freedom
> ask if the girl boss is greta or thatcher
> they don't understand
> pull out a complicated chart showing what is greta and what is thatcher
> they laugh, she's a good girl boss miss
> check wikipedia
> she's thatcher

I continue to think this is one of the most important and underappreciated media dynamics.

Britain’s Bathroom Ban The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one—without a vote.
