Just some bloke. He/him. These are my opinions, not those of my employer. I manage people who write code.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that a man assembled from parts of corpses must be in want of a wife.

I am thinking through the implications here in England. We have a new politician who is as honest, courageous and straightforward about trans rights as Zohran. And I think it properly fucks with our media's current abusive rhetoric.
Sorry if I worded things badly.
I will leave you alone.

You can absolutely throw *anyone* under a bus, without *hating* them. As long as you're too scared to stand up to the bastards who're busy chucking *everyone* they hate under random busses ?
Sorry. I'm on your side. Just a dick about language... xx

Nah. It's not about them being transphobic.
It's about them being cowards.
But they *will* lose because of that.

There was some German guy in the 1940s who built a giant ballroom ("Wintergarten" - same sorta thing) over his executive bunker.
Hope that worked out ok...

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

It was advertised as a "No Tyrants" protest here in Britain.

We named it a "No Tyrants" protest in the UK.

Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.

I should probably leave this blood-stained coffee shop.

You look too youthful. Nobody expects you to have dribbled over Bowie all that time ago - unless you fangirl over it unexpectedly.

tbf Barbie's hair is cheap, very unconditioned, and entirely made of plastic. So I wouldn't put yourself down. Ask your wife to stroke it and see if she thinks it's cheap ?

There is a long history of protest in the UK which , over time, has changed the position of the Government.
As the UK is actively arming, and supporting the Israeli government with intelligence in it's genocide - Britain *does* have influence in this.

There is a defence in Law for someone committing a crime, in order to prevent a greater crime.
Recent legal measures by the Government restrict this right.
There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Action is neccessary.

How to be a man The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

But if you support Trump, you're supporting fascism.
And that's just a fucking fact.
Also: I was telling the landlady - who's a mate - about a girl I have a massive crush on, and that's a far more interesting conversation than some fuckwit trying to justify concentration camps and fucking fascism...

I am so fed up with the US going insane.
Why should I have to have pointless conversations with random people in the pub like this ?
"You're making assumptions about what I believe."
No, I don't give a shit what you believe.
If you support Trump, you're a fascist.
Believe what you want. /1

Quite right. Who on Earth (owning right-wing media) wants to hear about peace, equality and extractive rentier end-capitalism ?
Stupid thing to keep bringing up...

🧡 Second quarter FEC reports were released last week!

We have the most money in this race, an average donation of $32, and likely more in-District donors than the rest of the field combined.

Here’s what's in those reports, why we're celebrating, and why we can't let up in our voter outreach:
