Thunder and lightning Very very 'sciting ME

Yep. This is hugely albleist, with a side order of fatphobia. Even beyond that, though, it's one more piece of evidence that conventional wisdom is calcifying around the idea that the best we can hope for going forward is that humanity doesn't become extinct.

Finished our King's Dilemma campaign today. Seventeen immensely enjoyable games leading into an extremely well-conceived finale. It's massively hard to make competitive legacy games work, but this one absolutely stuck the landing.

Genocide is ok, but we draw the line at paint 🤡

my god

*John Carpenter sighs, turns on synth*

A man shouted Britain First as he shot an MP dead and Britain First are not proscribed.

I'm hoping Grok transitions.

There is no clearer evidence that Horseshoe Theory is bullshit than the fact that Dan Hodges believes in it.

Watched The Deep House, the 152,456th installment of the "Dickhead Horror Boyfriend" movie franchise. Gotta say it's pretty effective, given it's mostly just taking a shitload of standard horror tropes and figuring out how to make them work underwater.

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.

RIP Brian Wilson

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
