in which case i suggest barter lol

the AI is once again convinced that April 2026 is in some indeterminate part of the future and the games are not actually occurring

When asked this week why he doesn't turn up to the Clacton business board or do other constituency work, his spokesperson said this week 'he makes personal donations to local charities and writes a column for the local paper'. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE IS PAID TO BE AN MP FOR.

The Thick of It always depicts a series of minor interlocking parts breaking at the worst possible time and things spiralling quickly thereafter. In reality its always dumb cunts refusing to steer around an iceberg they were warned about months ago.

I suspect their are HR people and employment lawyers looking horrified at the idea that confidential processes should only be confidential if everyone knows what they've found and can decide afterwards if they're confidential or not.

So, HRT is fine for Cis people who DON'T want HRT, but not Trans people who WANTS HRT.

Is this even about control or bigotry ? Like this is plain stupid.
I guess at least trans people can just use it to their advantage.

Folks, folks, FOLKS!

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

my read on terfs has always been that this has been about personal grievances within workplaces like universities and charities, where older self-identified radicals have felt undermined and their positions threatened by a younger, queerer generation

The thing that really annoys me about all this Mandelson stuff is that the US Ambassador role was not vacant! There was already a highly qualified and competent woman in the position

And now this thing about finding a job for Starmer's ex Head of Comms?

Jobs for the Boys alive and well

Well done to everyone in team Starmer who decided to throw this guy under the bus.

This is the crux for me. It’s not about whether Starmer knew about the failed vetting; it’s that Starmer created a situation where the appointment didn’t allow for failed vetting

The grownups are back in charge!

That "the problem was China, not Epstein" line really says a lot about the British state, doesn't it?

I'd forgotten that Prince died the day after Victoria Wood. 2016 was brutal.

At first I thought it was perhaps a typo. Then I did some digging.

An article in the Times today by Kathleen Stock in which she claims, incorrectly, that ‘when the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration’.

To correct the record:
The gay rights movement I was a part of in the 1980s and 90s was not aiming for ‘toleration’.
Mere acceptance was not enough.
How would that help the isolated queer kid?
No. We wanted that child to know they would be loved and celebrated just as they were.

what a great workaround 🤗

We've hit the "Okay, people are hooked so now it's time to raise prices and cut user hours" part of the business, only they haven't made the business indispensable, so let's see how this works out.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

parasitic wasps! they're extremely tiny, barely even visible, and they eat the moth larvae from the inside

traditionally you eat it with roast beef

The best take I've seen was:

"All these people saying 'this wasn't the Peter we knew' are fascinating, as I'm pretty sure for the rest of us this is EXACTLY the Peter we knew"

Bus typo: Help us score the gift of life, DONATE BLOOB

BLOOB FOR THE BLOOB GOD!

<3 you got this <3

And we won’t like him when he’s angry. Largely because we also don’t like him when he’s not.

Thanks to everyone who signal-boosted this. No new work has been forthcoming, unfortunately. Please keep me under consideration for upcoming projects - both C/O and WFH! I feel like I'm doing my career-best work at the moment but nobody will hire me for new projects!

so. have you considered wasps? they didn't entirely remove my moth problem with two doses but drastically reduced it. with proper application... i would be mothless.

But it boils down to the fucking double standards of a BBC News article about the rise in antisemitism next to another article about universities getting punished for deplatforming transphobia.
