The problem is though that evangelical understandings of the Bible aren’t illiterate.

I’m not keen on biblically literate idiots in positions of power either tbf

That’s interesting. I wonder if Scotland is an outlier in the UK for newsagents.

I like to think that the Armstrongs were more Robin Hoodie than that

Chapeau for your memory

When I go to see my dad, I’ll buy a few newspapers. It’s seems quite easy to get them in Scotland, there’s quite a few newsagents in his town (of 60k people).

I reckon the SNP could get a bunch of seats in the north of England.

It’s almost as if Trump is just doing Russia’s bidding

friend sent this over from the other place and unfortunately I did laugh

that made me a raging racist 🤷🏻‍♂️

I tried really hard to explain to someone the difference between him choosing to apologise and them expecting him to apologise. And I then tried to explain that perhaps the reason he felt he should apologise was their expectation and them having that expectation was part of the problem. Apparently

I’m not insulting anybody, I’m stating the fact that anyone placing a burden on to disabled people is ableist and it’s not John Davidson’s responsibility that Trump is awful.

I just read someone on IG say that John Davidson has to get on TV and make a public apology, like he does not have Tourette's tics or something.

This over a week later and all the media coverage

What is wrong with Americans?

Imagine he went on TV to apologize and just said it again and again…

They are just horrible ableist bigots.

I have an idea of what to call it… I’d suggest fee instead of tax…

The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic.

France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to ”advance” that deterrent to other European countries.

Seeking revenge, Dubai parachutes 3000 influencers on Tehran.

And the Americans, don’t forget the corruption of discourse by the Americans :)

You really hit the jackpot there… what a time to be alive.

I have nothing but a listening ear to offer you.

Im really sorry at the state of everything just now, must be really shit. The time for all this was 10 years ago but for whatever reason nobody was paying attention and we’ve gotten ourselves to this horrible place where Trump thinks it ok to experiment on trans prisoners etc.

Im sorry for using you as Google here, but have teams started employing the low block against Arsenal more this season ?

Its like the opposite of America. I thought Harris’ position on trans rights and treatments for kids / sport was really bad but of course I would still have voted for her over Trump. Because I’m not a monster and the trans issue isn’t a core reason for voting one way or the other.

For the most part using the pronouns of choice and name is just being polite. People shouldn’t be lambasted for forgetting of course but being polite is ok.

The low block. Does Arsenal recruit with the low block in mind? It strikes me that the death of the no 10 also means the death of the low block pickers.

then we’re fucked. We need to talk about the science, which means reading and understanding it and not shying away from uncomfortable « truths » that may emerge. When we don’t do this we end up creating this void or vacuum and that’s when the bigots jump in.

This is what I don’t really understand. It help everyone if we actually understand the science behind this but it particularly helps trans people. And once we understand the science then we can start talking about policy. When we are in a situation where even talking about the science is transphobic

As all phobias go, it is definitionally very slippery. Maybe that’s just the way it has to be?
