Come watch us play Clocktower!

"I didn't care when trans people weren't in the news all the time, constantly yelling about being 'misgendered' or how 'oppressed' they are! Just live your life quietly and shut up!" - people who read news articles written by cis people and watch news programmes featuring exlusively cis people.

I remember saying to a friend that I would leave the screening if Superman killed anybody in Man of Steel. I have still never seen the end of that movie.

I didn't realise I DID want that until 39 seconds ago! Now it's all I want!

Oh, hooray!

A little cat sits in the left corner of the screen with their face scrunched up. A jagged word bubble coming out of their mouth reads, “A SINGLE BODY ISN’T MEANT TO PROCESS SO MUCH MISERY AND FEAR”

love your friends, let your friends love you

I genuinely felt hope reading this. Wild.

@mhdksafa for the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either (from 2023)

Just saw someone say the new season of Taskmaster is "scraping the barrel" of comedy. One of the announced contestants won the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2024 and two of the others literally have Oscar nominations for comedy writing. Like... Just say you don't know much about comedy. It's fine.

Someone at PMQs should ask Starmer if it's okay for any world leader to unilaterally break international law in order to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap their head of state, or is Trump somehow a special case?

I'm well aware that I'm 20 odd years late with another of my sizzling hot controversial takes, but... The Wire is really good, hey? Halfway through the first season, and I am all in.

I've got pizza and Only Connect. Good Crimmis.

Hey, I know this is a completely unique and controversial opinion, but... Clair Obscur is pretty amazing.

I will keep saying this.

If you bought a calculator and it EVEN ONCE told you 2+2=5, you’d throw it out and demand a refund.

If you had an employee who lied confidently to you, and was easily caught, you’d fire them.

LLMs are the untrustworthy calculator and the confident liar.

Fire them.

Have you ever wondered if you were secretly a robot?

I have.

A brief response to Lisa Nandy, talking to @politicsjoe.bsky.social today about the trans community and the Supreme Court ruling.

TERF: brings court case with a scattergun of largely ludicrous allegations

Court: dismisses almost all allegations but upholds one or two of the less ludicrous ones

Media: THIS TERF WON HER CASE AND NOW THE TRANSES ARE ILLEGAL AND YOU MUST STONE THEM IN THE STREETS

Every. Fucking. Time.

Now that Kishwer Falkner has gone full lunatic mask-off bigot in The Times, will any MP stand up in the Commons and say the obvious? That the EHRC's "temporary guidance" was clearly authored by an incredibly biased and hateful psychopath and should be rightfully ignored?

Is there an overdiagnosis of mental health issues nowadays? Or - and I might be going out on a limb here - was there conceivably feasibly imaginably maybe perchance perhaps potentially possibly a slight chance that until recently we have had an UNDERdiagnosis of mental health issues? Just a theory.

Every. Damn. Day.

The way trans issues and trans lives are discussed in contemporary culture is the ultimate example of talking about people like they're not in the room *while we're in the room* begging to speak.

“They’ve been so respectful and so understanding of the decision, but profoundly sad,” she said. “I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'

And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'

Absolutely pathetic.

When will those Labour MPs who don't support the exclusion of trans people from society get together and tell the Cabinet 'Not In Our Name'?

Because, with respect, it is well past time for them to do som

UK Supreme Court: You're allowed to discriminate against trans people, but you don't have to

cis people: "well, our hands are tied"

Come watch!

somebody once said to me "this culture does not create untraumatized autistic people" and I think about that every day

rutger hauer as the murderous replicant roy in BLADE RUNNER (1982) saying "six, seven, go to hell or go to heaven" as he plays a counting game while stalking deckard through abandoned apartments

roy was ahead of the kids today, you wouldn't believe

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

Emily Maitlis brags about her, Deb Cohen, and Hannah Barnes getting the Tavistock GIDS service shut down.

What she doesn't talk about is how Newsnight journalists manufactured outrage and concocted "scandals" based on unethical journalism - which they were called out for, but tried to hide...

Flasgow is, of course, alphabetically right next to Glasgow.

A "follower of Christ" on Argyle Street in Flasgow yelling that "God's wrath has manifested on our streets as homosexualiry! Women lying with women! Men lying with men!" Sounds like "God's wrath" has been nothing but positive! Stay angry, big guy!
