It's the same with so many of these people. What they could have chosen to be... But they chose this. Rowling was beloved by millions. Now she's followed by Nazis. Linehan's shows brought joy. Now he's a vindictive, bitter fascist. It's such a crying shame.
"Leaving (us to earn) millions (of pounds by) asking..."
Again (ad tedium): the police who arrested linehan were armed was *because he was arrested at an airport*. Police at airports carry guns. Again: they did not send armed police to arrest Gremlin Ham because of Woke® or whatever shit. Police at airports carry guns. He was arrested at an airport.
What is it?
Ik wou dat dit waar was.
Oh unquestionably. He'll be dining out on this for years.
Always mixed feelings when a dude walks into me and says "Sorry, miss". On the one hand, yay - feels really affirming. (And 'miss' at my age is quite nice too.) On the other hand, the panicked need to get the hell out of there before he takes a second look, realises, and kicks the shit out of me.
White birth rate is the single unhinged obsession of all these people. It's the root of all their fears and all the hatreds that stem from those fears. It's why they hate people who aren't white, obv. But it's also why they hate LGBTQ+ people, why they hate abortion, why they want to control women.
The reactionaries are on their fainting couches over disgusting misogynist fascist linehan being arrested at Heathrow by *armed police*. But he was likely not "arrested by armed police", so much as "the police who arrested him happened to be armed". It's an airport. Police have guns at airports.
This is what pisses me off the most. This whole thing is manufactured by the Tories. They chose not to provide safe routes. They chose not to process claims. They talk up a storm about "taking on the trafficking gangs" but they could put them out of business overnight if they really wanted to.
"“Well, we might have some peace and quiet again,” one mother of a child in the school told Le Parisien at the time." Fucking hell, that's cold. That parent would be first in the interrogation room if I were the police in that town.
What's the answer?
Okay, good. I may have a party again. At least while @zackpolanski.bsky.social maintains support for trans people's rights. While I agree with the @greenparty.org.uk on many things, I couldn't in good conscience support them while they disregarded the dignity and safety of my trans siblings.
It's been ongoing for years. I just wish he wasn't so insistent on having it so violently in public.
He really is a truly repulsive creature. A misogynist, a coward and a pathological whiner.
The things you listed are real, yes. They're all concepts that exist in the world. Nobody's said otherwise. But what they also are is panicky right-wing rhetoric designed to frighten people like you, to make you think the sky's about to fall in, so you'll turn to Strong Daddy Figure to save you.
They weren't statements to any meaningful degree. It was just a list of things that exist, with the implied rider that we should all be living in quailing fear of them.
Tory leader keir starmer has appointed a new Director of Communications. It was quite a telling choice. medium.com/@martianemor...
America doesn't care about the Constitution any more, and apparently we don't care about parliamentary or ministerial integrity. Countries are truly pathetic when they fall, aren't they?
"Are you enjoying the RingGo parking app?" It's a parking app. Enjoyment is irrelevant.
It's grim that you're having to go on air and put such effort into explaining to this host and the audience why it might actually be a good idea for people to have rights and protections. It really is one of those "How on earth did we get here" questions, except of course we know how we got here.
News referring to measures to be taken by the regime to address "the migration crisis". Again, reminder: if there is a crisis it is because the regime have chosen to declare one. *They* have decided, and told the public, that any migration is unacceptable; thus any arrivals constitute a 'crisis'.
You mention the cultivation of grievance as the main growth industry in Britain right now, and I think that's a pretty good way of putting it. A cult of grievance, in fact. An angry, resentful, self-pity party. What a country. 🤦♀️
But... if she likes 'normal' bread... normal, non-woke bread apparently... Why does she buy sourdough? I mean obviously it's so she can whine about having to eat bread she doesn't like, but surely she doesn't think people are so stupid as to... Oh. Never mind.
Carpet laying?
It's true that engaging with transphobes boosts their reach on social media designed to emphasise conflict. But unfortunately they also have entire governments, numerous billionaires and the media ecosystems of countless countries at their disposal. I have 121 followers.
Dear gods I have got to stop scrolling social media without my glasses on. For a second there I only registered the patches of colour and thought this was Kira Nerys and Constable Odo off of Deep Space Nine. I mean his hair's not even that dark.
If I live to be a hundred, I'll be very very tired. But I will also still not understand how an adversary state, with whom you've been locked in cold conflict for *decades*, can publish a detailed explanation of how they're going to use political warfare to defeat you, and you just let them do it.
Ah, the innocence of the young... 😐
It's almost as if physician groups are made up of people who understand science a bit.
This is remarkable. As a response to a statement that the far-right is using fear of "migrants" as a political tactic, this could not have been a starker illustration of the point. Image in following post given how Bluesky handles blocks.
I have to admit, when I typed "the far right's fear narrative has been too effective", I did not expect that you'd immediately come back with such a powerful demonstration of my point.
Aye, that's a good way to put it. It's such a weird world. 🫥
My sympathies... ...are in too short supply to waste on MAGA wingnuts.
As someone getting minimum wage at fifty-ish years old, I'd just like to say *long, deep, exhausted sigh*
No, this is not a defence of AI. I know it's not fit for important shit. I would expect lawyers to know that too, and to act accordingly. Besides, when lawyers try to get AI to do their jobs for them, I'm guessing they're still happy to charge you a small moon for their 'services'...?
'Australian lawyer apologizes for AI-generated errors in murder case': apnews.com/article/aust... "The blunder ... is another in a litany of mishaps AI has caused in justice systems around the world." It isn't. It's another case of *lawyers* causing 'mishaps' by trying to use AI to cut corners.
"Worries" about his condition? I mean, *kind* of. I was worried about his condition, technically speaking - but possibly not in the way they assume.
Oof. Flight Sim really does NOT play friendly with OBS, does it?
Don't Stop Me Now and We Will Rock You. And Killer Queen. And Who Wants to Live Forever. Oh, and Hammer to Fall. And One Vision, of course. AND The Show Must Go On. An... Okay, I'll stop now but THIS IS WHAT YOU GET when you ask these things. 'Pick a favourite' - tsk...
Yes, I am well aware that there are Muslims, and varieties of Islam, that reject LGBTQ+ people; and that there are majority-Muslim countries, or countries ruled by Islamic theocracy, where we would be killed. But as you point out, the same could, and should, be said of Christianity.
I know it's only anecdotal so it doesn't matter, but the dealings I've had with the Muslim community in my area have been some of the most respectful I've experienced. More than once the local mosque has welcomed me - among the clockiest trans women - and my wife, and we've been treated very well.
Here's a small place called Inverfarigaig, on the south bank of Loch Ness. Only my brain is weird and does weird things with words when I just glance past them and I initially read it as 'Inverfraggle' and now I want to live in Inverfraggle. #MSFS2024 #flightsim2024 #LochNess
Folks. Specifically, folks who like to think of themselves as The Good Guys. If the question "Well they do it, why shouldn't we?" does not immediately produce an answer from your personal moral character, then I would suggest some reflection is in order.
I wouldn't know. Any time I've tried to create an account there it's been immediately suspended.
So... We managed to make the world believe something we did not know to be true? That sounds like something the enemy would be proud of achieving.
I never would have. But then I started seeing, day after day, year after year, exactly how much shit the people are willing to shrug and accept.
Kudos for stepping outside of Christian eschatology. A move rarely seen. 👍
If they were going to invoke that, they'd have done it years ago. For that matter, his numerous felony convictions should have been relevant too. But it's clear that the US political class does not regard the Constitution as a significant document.
The glow they're referring to may be a plume on the object's sun-facing side, where heating is causing outgassing. This has been picked up by conspiracists who claim it's an engine plume or, at least, that it's Mysterious™ because a comet tail should face away from the sun. (It's not a tail.)
It's called 3I/ATLAS, named for (*sigh*) the "Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System" which discovered it. It's an interstellar comet which is passing through the solar system. Like ʻOumuamua before it, it's prompted a bunch of fruitcakes to make claims about aliens and prophecies and shit.
Passed some roundabouts this week where some chucklefuck had enough time on their hands to go strap imperial flags 🇬🇧 and crusader banners 🏴 to every fucking lamppost. And we all know it's not the slightest thing to do with 'love of country'. They're symbols of hate if that's what they're used for.
I've spent quite a long time composing an email to Derbyshire Constabulary over their 'gender ideology' document and now I have a vertiginous migraine and will probably die. I generally assume woozy-brain-symptom means I'm going to die. I haven't yet but I have had a lot of heartburn lately so 😐
I suspect what he means is, it takes the threat of violence to make *him* feel bound by law. That, if there were no-one empowered to inflict injury on him, he would have no reason not to inflict it on others. It's like "You can't be moral without God because why would you not go out killing?"
Again, you ascribe to "religion" attributes of faith specific to early-modern western Christianity, modified and deployed as a political control system. Aversion to the idea of an old Earth is rather particularly a characteristic of Christianity, and then only some of its branches.
Forcing others to conform is something humans do. Understanding that religions are frequently weaponised as tools to this end, and that dominionist Christianity is currently one of the primary forms of such is essential. Blundering about throwing accusations at "religion" is inefficient targeting.
The only credible case that comes to mind is that of great mid-twentieth-century philosopher nigel molesworth QC, gorilla of 3b and prospective clump-press minder.
They could do that. And it's hardly plausible that they don't know what the issues are or what they could do about them. That's why I'm inclined to believe this is a deliberate choice by a party that's decided its priority is to chase the hard- to far-right vote.
Most definitely. Once they decided that impartiality meant 'equal attention to all viewpoints' it was inevitable that fringe positions, like fascism or climate change denial, would be amplified into the mainstream.
I'm not going to say "that's the plan". I don't think they want to *destroy* Britain, as such. But I do think they hope to gain the same things that Reform and the Tories are looking for: an unconstrained period of power and profit. And the far-right grift is profitable in money and influence.
You're probably right. It's just that it seems so glaringly obvious that it's hard to see how Labour in particular couldn't combat it, if they wanted to. But it may be ineptitude. As for why people fall for it... Like brexit and trump, they choose it because they think it'll hurt people they hate.
Very much so. I'd have put it aside as just a bout of social media wishful thinking but for vance's reassurances. 🤞
Pardon me if I don't pardon you. If you aren't targeting properly, you won't hit the proper target. All you need to do is say 'fascists' and you'd fix that. Or if you insist that it's definitely the religious trappings that are the real issue, you could identify 'dominionists' and hit the mark.
Sick of BBC continuously promoting Reform U.K. and ignoring other parties with far more representation? Please sign the petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
There is speculation that the greasepainted American tyrant is in failing health and may soon die or be incapacitated. This has been denied by the vice-tyrant, who assures us of his master's health, which has increased the speculation. Particularly since the VT added that he was ready to take over.
Signed, albeit with no particular optimism. The BBC is a state broadcaster and it will serve the regime's interests. And as much as I don't like to think of myself as a conspiracist, it's my strong suspicion that Reform, Labour and the Tory party are now acting as a cartel.
I'm a religious person. Not a Christian or even a monotheist (some of us aren't), nor one who thinks my religion is of any relevance to government, or society as a whole. Although you mentioned Jesus, you *said* "target the religious". Perhaps we'd be better targeting fascists?
Oh. I'd have thought you'd have been quite into it. It also argues that there should be special legal targeting of a group of people the poster doesn't like.
Transphobia is *directly* linked to white supremacy amd fascism You cannot fight fascim if you are transphobic If you are a political party with transphobes as members, your party is enabeling fascism
They're not going to reject it. It's the strategy they've settled on. They took up the culture-war mantle from the blue tories, having presumably decided that the votes of ignorant, terrified reactionaries were more important than things like ethics, facts, justice, human rights and dignity .
I generally make a point not to criticise physical appearance. Not even a rapist, child abuser, fraud and tyrant can help his physical appearance. His ridiculously inept makeup and his obnoxious self-satisfaction aren't genetic, though. Nor is his utter immorality. I absolutely despise this man.
This is probably the most honest I've seen one of them being about the basis of their prejudices, their hatreds, their fanatical authoritarianism. They're terrified of 'replacement'. They think they're fighting a genetic war, and anything they see as undermining that frightens and outrages them.
It's not my place to tell a person whether they're a 'real' Christian or not. But when someone professes to believe that Jesus was their very god incarnate on Earth, and don't just ignore his teachings but actively defyn every last one... Well, I will admit to a private doubt.
Completely agree. I'm pagan, and I admit I don't find Christian theology or cosmology compelling, or even particularly coherent. But, I grew up among Christians and I saw them trying very hard to live as they believed Jesus taught them. They weren't perfect, obviously. But they valued compassion.
'Foundations of Geopolitics', by the swivel-eyed nationalist wingnut aleksandr dugin. Everything that's happened in the last two decades was outlined in that book. They literally handed it to us, said, "This is how we're going to conquer you," and we shrugged and went "Sure, okay."
They shouldn't be, but they are. Because a lot of people *like* that they dismiss our very legitimate concerns.
It was always a lie. It's painful to acknowledge it, but perhaps we were naive to think it was ever sincere. They've only been waiting. Like the Westminster regime, all their talk of tolerance was just what they thought was politically expedient. Now they see they can drop the act. #WeWillResist
They don't need to be serious, though. They only need to keep saying the things that titillate the terrified, and they'll have all the time in the world to work out how they're going to use the power they'll be given.
I haven't worked out who you were aiming to get in trouble from, honestly. I'm sure I'm just being obtuse.
By the way, if anyone knows a platform where you can post a post and then link it in other places without having to route people to zuckerberg's shithole, I'd be interested.

Nothing to see here. Just s a British police force breezily declaring formal policy based on a rejection of so-called "gender ideology" - a political term coined as a tool to dismiss and delegitimise trans identities.
Literally yes. This is exactly what the phrase means. It's simply a term they can use to encompass stuff they hate and fear - rather like 'woke', or 'the left' or 'kulturbolschwismus', but it's perhaps a little more specific in that in targets a particular group they're especially scared of.
Bold of you to assume they want you safe. They want you *obedient* - but I suspect they could very much take or leave 'safe' for you.
Hey, that's top-quality nitrogen you're paying for. What, would you rather they padded the pack with extra crisps like some fly-by-night cowboys?
George. It's what they've wanted for years. Decades, even. You've only got to look at how they promoted Brexit. That ranine reactionary farage was on every front page and never off the screen. The British media is owned by the far right.
The positions of the political parties aren't all there is, though. There's also the Cult of Joanne lighting up the heatmap. And I'm not saying that's only a Scotland thing. It's more that there's a concentration there.
As of 2015, I was sick of him being platformed on TV at all. It sickens me that my country's media is so cynical and venal that it is willing to profit from Nazism.
What Does Harry Potter Mean Now? My biggest video yet. Now on YouTube. youtu.be/zVa7H446Iiw
Yeah, the consultation was a farce from the very beginning. If they could've gotten away with not holding it at all, they would've. They kept it to a bare minimum. As it was, they framed questions that prevented any objection to the diktat. It was a scam.
But they do tell you that. And so far, it appears that you (collectively) DO accept it. Someday, maybe, you will actually quit accepting it and MAKE IT STOP.
Unfortunately - and it pains me as someone of Scottish parentage but who's always lived in England; someone who'd always intended one day to move to my family's homeland - if there's a nucleus of anti-trans hatred on this island, it seems to be in Scotland.
What times we live in. The US appears to be engaging in preliminary Russian-playbook hybrid warfare operations in Greenland. I wonder if at any point America will realise it's been conquered? apnews.com/article/denm...
Come on now. I sincerely could not give two fucks about celebrity culture, but even I wouldn't try to pretend I don't know who Taylor Swift is. I couldn't have told you she was dating, or what his name was (prior to me finding it out today), but I absolutely know who she is.
It works. It always has. It always will. But that doesn't stop it being well-worn Nazi shit.
Yeah, this is *literally* the tactic I'm talking about. You know you're using it and you know why it works. Because you're framing your hatred of 'foreigners' or whatever as 'concern for children', you get to claim the moral high ground and anyone who points out your well-worn Nazi shit is evil.
