Narrator: T-REX IN: MISTAKES WERE MADE T-Rex: What?! T-Rex: No: no mistakes were made!!

T-Rex: Things are good, and I'm not in the business of making mistakes! EVERYTHING'S FINE! Dromiceiomimus: Hmm... "Mistakes were made" - past tense. T-Rex: Oh no - it's saying I've made past mistakes and didn't even NOTICE?! T-Rex: Unnoticed mistakes are the worst KINDS of mistakes!!

Utahraptor: And it's "mistakes" - PLURAL! T-Rex: That's WORSE! T-Rex: Frig, my entire past could be one huge mistake! Utahraptor: No, T-Rex, it can't - because one huge mistake is singular, and this is plural! So, silver lining is at least ONCE in your life, between two larger mistakes, you did, briefly, do SOMETHING correctly.

T-Rex: T-Rex In: I Did Something Right Once! Off panel: I don't think you can just name things like that. T-Rex: T-REX IN: I DID SOMETHING RIGHT ONCE AND THAT HAS TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING! T-Rex: T-REX IN: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT RIGHT THING I DID, EVERYONE

t-rex in: no no no, no more mistakes, only correct things all the time forever and ever!!! please please please

If you're a cis person who thinks that Starmer and his government being appalling on trans human rights is a non-issue because 'nobody's perfect', rather than a telling insight into a fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights law, and a necessary warning for all people to heed...well.

BTW, for all those liberal types who said "the Irish far right don't do well in elections", here's a bit of a wake-up for you -
these lads have 24 councillors, four TDs and an MEP.
Start taking the far right seriously - the calls are, in this case literally, coming from inside the House.

Fuck this racist pig, his party, and all who vote for them. 👍

I wasn't allowed to watch the BBC children's programme Grange Hill in case it encouraged me to act up in school.

We’ve formally asked the EHRC to investigate Sex Matters over sustained harmful messaging about trans people. This is about whether the equality law is applied properly and consistently. If it wouldn’t be tolerated for others, it shouldn’t be tolerated here.

once you learn how much training data images of women come from porn, it illuminates so much. this is more than bad to look at, it's the rot of misogyny in full display.

for the record:

no disabled person likes being asked about whether or not their genitalia works on a dating app. I don’t know how you think this will score you points... it will score you a block though.

It really has aged so poorly. The kids asking the gay couple to go back in the closet, the conflation of sexuality and gender expression, the racist jokes, the transphobic jokes, the queer shaming... it just goes on and on.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

They are afraid of the way bodily autonomy — in all its forms — threatens their sociopolitical structure. Its survival requires us to follow our conditioning on "male" and "female" roles, "nonwhite" and "white" roles, "working class" and "middle class" roles. We represent a threat to the system.

...gender when I was a kid — when I was in a gender-segregated school and thought I didn't belong — they meant something more and that I couldn't ignore that any more.

My wife had gotten to a point in her medical transition where we didn't need to focus our energy and money on her any more. She encouraged me to go visit a friend, who's a trans guy. We were lying on his bed, just quiet, not talking or watching anything. And it hit me: the things I said about my...

When Veronica started her social transition, she bought her first and only ever lottery ticket. She just wanted the power to get everything done, right then.

It's abhorrent how the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom are treating our community — some of their most vulnerable citizens. I understand the stress and I empathise with all of our community over there.

The line between "Western" comics and manga doesn't actually exist. It's all sequential art and it's all valid.

I'm still stunned that the pedophiles have been the only ones preaching anti-LGBT politics this whole time...and people are choosing to defend pedophiles instead of LGBT people.

There's no sugar coating it, every conservative, republican and maga voter is an accomplice pedophile.

Magdalene is a brilliant writer and musician. If you have the means, please support her through these tough times.

This statement by Rubio is false.

As @tessbridgeman.bsky.social and I wrote in January:

Well said. It looks like a knock-off... and in a way it is. A knock-off of movies based on books that were a knock-off of a bunch of existing fiction by a writer whose hatred is a knock-off of right-wing talking points. It's knock-offs all the way down.

Truth:

When a cis man devotes his life to obsessing over trans children, something is very wrong and he should not be enabled in his access to them and to platforms at which he can ensure their oppression and thus their availability to him.

It absolutely does.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Well done, excellent choice of song and lyrics.

This is precisely the problem with these AI pushing tech billionaires and those that prop them up: they don’t value people. They have lost the very innate human art of empathy. Humans are just a means to an end, a stat in their annual turnover report

They do not care about you & don’t want to help
