Apparently the answer is have a gin and tonic.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

I’m feeling a bit broken from trying and failing. What do I do?

one of my favorite parts of the onion infowars saga is how Alex Jones lost his fucking mind when they first bought it,,,,, partly because he didn't know or understand what the onion was

This is dark but kinda true!

It doesn't take a forensic accountant to work out whose interests Nigel Farage really serves

This! Say it again! This is actually feminism, not transphobia in feminisms clothing.

The Clarion & I have both been talking about potholes in the last 24 hours. Great minds etc. See my clip for high level summary (heavier cars and climate change) and theirs for a lot more analytical detail.

RanV @ranv.bsky.social • 1h → Replied to RanV Besides, much (not all but certainly most) of the antisemitism would fade away if the state of Israel stopped existing, or at the very least stopped committing atrocities and war crimes against its neighbouring populations.

Little-known fact: the Holocaust, the blood libels, the pogroms, the Spanish Inquisition, Clifford’s Tower and the Dreyfus Affair were all perpetrated by time travelers who had come from the future where they had been radicalised by seeing the construction of the state of Israel.

Home Office could face hundreds of claims over asylum families in single rooms Judge in case of two families housed for years in single hotel rooms says they should have been moved within three months

Accommodation for those seeking asylum is often dire, and getting worse with expanded use of camps. This is a welcome ruling, but only scratches the surface. When it's more humane, and cost effective, to invest in community support schemes, there's no excuse. 1/2

One of the things I most resent about this is that I know it to be a deliberate strategy by Netanyahu, he does not want Jewish people to feel safe living outside Israel. And it’s working, global antisemitism is rising. The antisemites are making his point for him.

The fact the biggest terfs are congratulating her says more than the rest of could say

Anyone know of any UK-based pixel art animators looking for freelance work this year? Asking on behalf of a friend's project!

IKR shocking driving!

This was an HGV in the bike lane. I’m sure the driver made a mistake with the lane but this is SO INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS!!! The vehicle was turning left. This is how cyclists can be killed on London’s roads.

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

Anyone who knows immigration bureaucracy will know that people who seek asylum because they are gay undergo hostile and humiliating scrutiny. Media reports that suggest people “pretend to be gay because it’s an easy route for a visa” are missing the glaring fact there is no “easy” way to get asylum.

A group of primary school children wearing hi vis vests, and accompanied by a couple of parking wardens, standing on the pavement outside a school. There are zigzags painted on the road the denote No Parking because of the pedestrian crossing which is just behind the camera. The children are holding signs.

A car parked on the pavement outside a school, less than 20 metres from where the children were standing yesterday. It is just outside the zigzag zone, but there are double yellow lines and the car is almost entirely on the pavement. The school entrance is just behind.

School drop-off.

Thursday: kids out with the traffic wardens, with nice signs asking parents not to park dangerously.

Friday: parents parking on the pavement outside school.

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding.

She's a billionaire.

She doesn't care about "single mums".
