Wes bloody Streeting. And definitely not Otto the autopilot from Airplane!

Can’t stand Wes bloody Streeting.

DS9 "The Search, Part II"; Garak in the Replimat, with caption: and the only explanation I can find

DS9 "The Search, Part II"; Garak in the Replimat, leaning in, with caption: is that our leaders have simply gone insane.

Incredible summary of the problem with all the various LLM’s out there.

The only reason we should even consider the pundit class any more is to tell them they're wrong, and what's the value in that?

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Piers Morgan is as angry about Glamour honouring trans women as he was about Eastenders showing two men kissing in 1989 and for exactly the same reason.

The Diplomat is top tier TV. Watching the West Wing these days feels hopelessly naive and a relic of a lost era, but watching The Diplomat makes me feel how I felt back then... clever people trying to save the day, no matter what. Plus the bad guys are SMART which is so much more fun than reality...

Look, it was obviously Lupin.

An image of Sian's letter to the Minister for Women and Equalities. You can read the full text of her letter at: https://www.sianberry.org.uk/publications/letter-regarding-statutory-guidance-from-the-equality-human-rights-commission/

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

It's shit like this that makes you feel like you're actually losing your mind. Nominative determinism on FIRE.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

From the NYT newsletter: • "Alien: Earth," now in its first season, continues the half-century-old "Alien" franchise. But the true horrors aren't ravenous xenomorphs anymore; they're tech companies.

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

If I were the UK Government I would simply not route all my communications through the platform whose owner just called for regime change in Britain and said "fight back or die"

Transphobic media bias in action.

The Guardian has a massive front-page splash about the fascist demo taking place in central London.

Trans Pride London was more than double the size and got nothing like this level of coverage, and then not until afterwards.

Have made a formal complaint to IPSO about this... probably won't achieve anything, but it's pretty quick and easy to do, so if you're as pissed as I am about the constant demonisation of trans people, why don't you do it too?

An assassin writes Bella Ciao in the same breath as a Notices Your Bulge meme on his bullets. One of the government responses is a practicing Hindu asserting that the fundamentalist Christian victim will join him in a Norse pagan afterlife. Welcome to the epistemic collapse.

This is a really neat summary of why I'm now technically a terrorist, and Linehan is getting multiple sympathetic articles a week on the BBC...

Stop killing people = terrorism
Physically attack a minority group = free speech

It's all fucking insane.

I am not seeing this news spread on Bluesky yet, so just wanted to share. Truly fantastic that this is happening.

Can't believe I'm a contributor to this *terrifying crime wave*... definitely must have been terrifying for the police on Saturday, seeing us sat amongst priests, veterans, a fucking choir singing all day... hardened stuff.

This is the thing. I'm not someone who has ever voted for Labour, but I am someone who should be persuadable to vote for them. I'm not sure which of Lib Dem or Green I'm going to vote for next time, but I know I'm *not* voting for a party that's made it illegal for half my friends to exist in public

So many people supremely relaxed about inciting people to violence - and strangely none of them with a skin colour or gender or immigration status which makes them routine targets of violent people.

grotesquely comic to have high ranking politicians coming out swinging in defence of *Graham Linehan*. guarantee if you showed most normal people a selection of Graham's tweets from the last decade (and told them it's all he's been doing all that time) they'd agree he should be punted into the sun

It's SO GOOD!

Labour is fundamentally dead as a party. The lack of credible politicians in major parties out there offering a HOPEFUL vision of the future depresses the hell out of me.
How fucking hard is it to believe that all people are equal, and that we should be trying to make things better for EVERYONE?
