This feels pretty notable IMO

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

Our four-in-a-row winning streak at our local has come to an end. The person running the quiz asked if we'd mind making a big deal about losing, to reassure some of the other villagers who thought we were "psychic".

I’m convinced this is how a bay leaf would talk

I have just co-written an article on why I think the Supreme Court decision in FWS is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. But it seems that if I'm right, any decision to that effect will simply be wrapped into our Labour Govt's aping of far right anti-human rights rhetoric.

Btw, greatly enjoying putting down all the 'splainers in replies 😂. Keep them coming, bros - your naive foreign-sounding woman here, absolutely no background/education/training in what I am talking about, *dying* to have this explained to her by someone with much bigger...knowledge 🤣🤣

We need to ask questions about what it is about the culture of MPs of this particular ethnicity that makes them continually be arrested for sexual assault

In Poland, they don’t call it 40k. They call it

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

HAPPENING NOW: A MASSIVE crowd has gathered at Daley Plaza in Chicago for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: Luis Emora)

It isn’t lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

No details right now, for various reasons, but I lost a friend today, and I am entirely fucking sick of losing people I care about. Unpopular opinion: mortality can go fuck itself.

"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.

The election may not have been overturned on January 6th, but it snapped something even more fundamental. Right-wingers realized they could pretty much do whatever the hell they wanted and probably get away with it. And now here we are.

No kings

Bees are comrades pass it on

Thought I had a joke about Tantalus, but it’s more of a thirst trap.

i am once again smacking this sign as hard as i can

whining about how the protestors need to mind their manners sure looks fucking stupid now

Had to sit and listen today to someone imperiously telling a meeting of a hundred plus people that putting out a statement of support for trans people risked damaging our reputation for supporting "the most important diversity of all, diversity of *opinion*. Amazed I didn't bite through my fingers.

Co-signed, by the Prophets. If nothing else, it'd give me something absolutely *amazing* to write up five years from now.

Charlie Kirk gives the game away here. All those “Bluesky is dying/Bluesky is an echo chamber” articles written by right-wingers are trying to get people back on X, which is now a fascist propaganda machine.

Oh shit. There goes the internet.

Conclusions now I’ve had a break: - EHRC aren’t trying to hide that they’re transphobic & their interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement makes no sense - MPs regularly cited what they’re hearing from members of the public in their questioning. Keep writing to them. They’re listening.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

Come on cis women, get it signed, it is literally the least we can do to support trans folk Trans women are women! Trans men are men! Non-binary and all other gender identities are valid! Trans right are human rights!

Jesus CHRIST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

as they say, universal skeet 👇

Greta Thunberg got bad write-ups from Julie Burchill, Brendan O'Neill, Suzanne Moore, Zoe Strimpel and Piers Morgan, the fabled "Arsehole Voltron"

JOYYYYYYYYCE

Some of y'all can't handle two high agency males going at it and it really shows.

I feel like the fact the Bosstones were all hot didn't get talked about enough. (and yes I know the awful reason they broke up) www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIGM...

That’s actually super insensitive of you to say. My father died on a hill.

I missed the ten-year anniversary! On 4th June 2015, with the publication of Dark Run through Del Rey UK, I became a professional novelist. Ten years on and I’ve been a full-time author for five years, and I’ve had a total of two novellas and sixteen novels published, with another one announced.

steven pinker went on a race science podcast??

Oh my God, does this need to be written in neon lights pretty much everywhere leftists gather.

It really is astounding the degree to which Depp managed to make the entire internet inhospitable to Amber Heard. Anything that even acknowledges her existences (lately posts announcing that Shudder has THE WARD) are swarmed with partisans spewing the exact same jokes / bullet points.

There is no such thing as a "perceived right" There are rights. Rights that apply to all humans, cis and trans alike Bigots want trans people to simply not make a fuss while their rights are stripped away. And for cis people to stay out of it FUCK THAT SHIT. You will have to go through me

Elon Musk is estimated to have killed 300,000 people *this year*
