What's up, Bluesky? We thought you might've missed some of our greatest hits, so we put this together for you.

Can't wait to spend more quality time together! ❤️🇺🇸

'Hampstead Heath swimming ponds considering limiting transgender users’ access'.
Translation:
The swimming ponds must stop men, however they identify, using the women's pond.
It's the law.
Men have two other ponds they can swim in.
Women have rights too.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

This little lecture on parenting and disappointment in response to the word "WAFFLES" is breaking me up 😂

WAFFLES

Do you think Alina Chan is a "crank" because of anything you worked out for yourself or because Michael told you?

This @usatoday.com article should be withdrawn.
It claims:
'Researchers whose findings suggest no clear competitive advantage for transgender women have reportedly been excluded from this group.'
There are no such findings.

Translation:
The IOC panel has excluded researchers who compared overweight, unfit, recreational transwomen to elite female athletes & found the elite females out-performed them.
Then leveraged this so-called finding to argue some males should be eligible for female sport.

In awe of Michael Mann policing of his account here.
Literally got blocked within 2-3 minutes for this post.
I'm guessing he has some bot scouring replies for tell tale phrases like "epistemic bubble". Or perhaps some loyal students are employed for this?
Anyway, his epistemic bubble is maintained

You first try to delegitimise Alina Chan for writing in "right-wing media", then when she writes for the New York Times you dismiss her title as "head scratching" when it is a perfectly clear description of what she wrote.

Not very good advert for your book for people outside your epistemic bubble.

Interesting. Tyler Robinson was declared "indigent" by the Judge at his video link court appearance. I guess dad isn't paying for his lawyer either way.

"hating Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk was a loathsome bigot" is an extremely straightforward political motive

Once you can convince yourself that the guy engraving the world‘s most famous anti-fascist anthem on his assassin’s bullet is, in fact, announcing his allegiance to fascism, you can pretty much convince yourself of anything, right?

That’s what worries me. Facts being no obstacle to belief.

Me: the stuff pretty much meant what it said

Everyone else, apparently: the messages were ironically anti-fascist but actually pro-fascist and then another layer to make it anti-fascist again in endless nested layers of inscrutable irony, no motive detectable

Texts between Tyler Robinson and roommate revealed — Charlie Kirk news live Tyler Robinson press conference live: charges announced in Charlie Kirk shooting — latest news

Above from Times following press conference on Tyler Robinson accused murderer of Charlie Kirk www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

“Robinson’s mother explained [Tyler Robinson] had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented,” Gray said.
“She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders.”

Graham Linehan
"Thanks to my solicitors and the @SpeechUnion for getting my absurd bail conditions dropped!"
👍😀

And he made similar threats about su*cide wrt Graham Linehan.
Both people are far higher profile than SP.
He doesn't makes sense and is clearly irrational at every dimension.

DARVO means "deny, attack, reverse victim and offender" This is the person you see as the "victim".
Can you understand that most people would instead see here a disturbed man with an irrational, obsessive, hatred of JK Rowling? And that this should not be pandered to? bsky.app/profile/did:...

This guy?

Breathtakingly disgusting to see from the NYT.
But a key feature of Cognitive Dissonance is *increased* proselyting post disconfirmation. After all these people are supposed to believe he is a woman yet why is this woman doing something no women do?
imo Festinger et al describes this well here:

Robert Westman: Minneapolis ‘gunman’ was son of church employee The 23-year-old suspect was reported to have ‘identified as a female’ and changed his name to Robin at the age of 17. A manifesto included an image of Adam Lanza

"The 23-year-old suspect was reported to have ‘identified as a female’ and changed his name to Robin at the age of 17. A manifesto included an image of Adam Lanza"

Minneapolis school shooter is school worker's trans daughter Court records seen by Daily Mail indicate that Westman had previously been known as Robert, having petitioned to have her name changed in 2019.

Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman is a transgender woman whose mother worked at the school where two children were slaughtered.

Tracy Edwards: Arguing with trans activists is like explaining Einstein to my dog Skipper of the first all-female crew in the Round the World Race on her fight for women’s sport and pioneering career

www.telegraph.co.uk/sailing/2025...
Some great quotes in here:

“She is implacable, in the face of constant abuse and belittling by trans activists. “There’s no point arguing with them,” she shrugs. “It’s like explaining the theory of relativity to my dog.””

It’s so f*****g tedious and soul-destroying as it’s so unjust' Rebecca Don Kennedy runs the Equality Network. She talks candidly to our Writer at Large about the attacks, abuse and hate she’s suffered…

‘I would not fight for trans rights if it hurt women’
Then literally blames the situation in Scotland on MAGA with no reference to challenges like Isla Bryson, Edinburgh Rape Crisis.
That's enough to illustrate the self serving charlatanry at work in this piece www.heraldscotland.com/news/2541309...
