Watching videos of police dragging away grannies for holding an anti genocide bit of card, thinking about the time the Met buried reports that one of their officers was a predator, then after he used police ID to kidnap, rape & murder a woman, they then arrested women for holding a vigil for her.

I dont think there's been a worse government decision in terms of sheer immediate injustice, time-wasting, overreach for quite a while in the UK. lots that had *longer term* implications but this has been a shameful disaster.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

What a surprise. A flat lie from transphobes to stir up more hate. All they bring to the world is screaming anger that cannot be answered. All we can do is stand up to them.

Agreed. This is absolutely monstrous. There is no justification.

No surprise that transphobes make shit up to further their agenda. Boycott the Telegraph. Boycott the Sun. Boycott anything to do with Harry Potter.

Bill & Ted.

Any politician with an ounce of courage could rip this to shreds. Any journalist could. What a load of nonsense.

Filled with rage at the cowardice of M&S here. They wee served by a women for a bra fitting. End of.

I saw so many responses and reposts yesterday. Lots of y'all said it helped you feel less alone.

I wanted to build on this a little, and gently ask/recommend that you choose kindness whenever possible (with others and yourself) because you never know; your kindness could make the difference.

My secret of travel is to let yourself be affected by where you are. Observe what others are doing, the small things like how they use transport, and do that. It helps you feel the place and accept it. But also be excited when you see something cool!

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I have a friend in Omsk…

"Agree to disagree" is reserved for things like "I don't like marmite." Not homophobia, transphobia, not human rights. Not basic common decency. We do not have a difference of opinion here. We have a difference in morality. Disagreeing with the validity of someone's identity and the rights and services they deserve or don't deserve because of it is discrimination, not disagreement.

About 80% of my grammar suggestions from Microsoft Word are “why not use a simpler word here for clarity?”

No. Fuck you.

I will use a complicated word for evocative precision whenever the muse’s clarion song demands ebullience, vivacity, torpor, or solemnity, you shit-ass suck machine.

The first politician that can be brave enough to just say ‘trans men are men, trans women are women, this is manufactured outrage and I will have no part in it’ will certainly get me leaning towards voting for them. But I’m also terrified of a Reform government.

i wanna try something. quote this post if you’re a man who hates the manosphere

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner

Having lunch in a cafe and overhear two chaps talking, and when they mention “Lord of War choice” I triumphantly turned and asked if it was about 40k. Close, they were Horus Heresy players looking up rules for the new edition.

Key word is ‘respectfully’. People on the booth aren’t going to be the ones who had any say.

Excellent work. This stuff matters and it’s right to keep working against transphobia.

I'm performing a full-length show at the @museumofcomedy.bsky.social for the @camdenfringe.bsky.social on Sunday August 3rd!

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Where’s me jumper
Where's me jumper
Where's me jumper
Where's me jumper

Without Hulk Hogan, Peter Thiel would not have been so effective in media-suppression

Without Peter Thiel, we wouldn't know today's Musk or JDV

Without Musk, we wouldn't have DOGE (and would still have Park Service, State Dept, NIH, etc)

So we note Hulk Hogan's passing, as we might Roy Cohn's.

Still the greatest takedown of men who complain about women's voices on podcasts/radio (written by Katie Mingle of 99% Invisible)

Saw Superman tonight. What a fantastic piece of hopepunk storytelling, daring to be a story about someone who just tries to do his best. Really enjoyed it. Great Lex Luther, and huge appreciation for Mr Terrific.

A guy at work said, "Look, if you can't imagine Superman saving a cat trapped in a tree, he isn't Superman," and you know what? He was right.

EVERYBODY BE COOL! THIS IS OUROBORY!

I keep saying it: The push for AI made so much more sense to me once I realized tech bros talked to it like a woman who won't talk back.
