This raises the worrying prospect that overwhelming media power in Britain could be concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of very wealthy, extremely nasty and very right wing crackpots who will use it for malignant ends

Well that was just wonderful content. A+, hopefully that's the Friday surprise.

for senior citizens it can mean so much to spend quality time with a young person, even if it's just a few minutes

there are lots of objectionable things about the times we're living through, but the content... you just can't complain about the content

For how many years/decades/centuries have women been fighting not to be reduced to our hair, tits and clothes?

Well done everybody. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Mazzaphil @bobblesyawn • 10h Aw you really hate it when women say no don't you. O 1 ıll 71 贝 企 Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent• 9h Can you fucking idiots get some new atrocious patter, please. I appreciate you can't do any better than this but at least mix it up a bit.

One of the less insane responses, if you say the EHRC toilet police guidance is slapstick authoritarian lunacy. I again urge you to note that the reactionary world’s meltdown over sexually threatening minorities precisely overlaps with their leaders being exposed as arse grabbers and sex criminals.

I hope you meet patriarchal standards of how a "man" or a "woman" is supposed to look or you too could be banned from public facilities.

This is "feminism" apparently.

“Under the new guidance, places such as hospital wards, gyms and leisure centres will reportedly be able to question transgender women over whether they should be using single-sex services based on how they look, their behaviour or concerns raised by others.”

Gender policing harms us all.

Fundamentally the anti trans movement has radicalised very, very quickly. Driven by support from friendly media and political outlets, they've forgotten that the majority of the public don't really care. But overt cruelty and discrimination does cut through, has cut through. 10/x

I read a BBC article which said something along the lines of "Trans people can be questioned on their gender" That's not true! Nobody will be above suspicion.

Really does feel like the wheels are starting to come off

Writing about the government’s latest policy announcement and, as usual, torn between three angles: morally awful, politically foolish, and probably unworkable. Something for everyone there

anti immigrant sentiment needs to be seen as an existential threat to liberal democracies and liberal parties and more importantly responded to as such.

Quick question: what the fuck is wrong with everyone?

I love plugging in to the Monday morning cynicism.

A key figure in US politics that I think a lot of European observers obsessed with MAGA voters haven't really got their heads around is your average boring middle class suburban voter who in the face of incomprehensible reactionary chaos hankers after a Normie Revolution.

as recently as this morning I would have said "there's nothing that can possibly happen to make me wish dick cheney could have lived just one more day"

we can have a little hope, as a treat

Remember when a lot of us who don't get paid by the NYT or CNN said that the 2024 election was mostly about vibes and not a sign of any massive generational shift in politics?
