JD Vance is a repulsive fascist, and if Keir Starmer's government gives so much as an inch to secure a better trade deal with the USA (as suggested by Vance in his latest interview) they deserve to be punished for it by the British electorate. And probably reviled in the history books, too.

For anyone out there working on a project like me~

If you want a pristine example of how absolutely everything in this country is distorted by the perceived need to perform for right wing voters, look no further than the question of permission to work for asylum seekers

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Broadly: Real measurable things: chromosomes, genes, genetic expression, gonads, genitals, hormone levels, ability to respond to hormones, secondary sexual characteristics Sex: useful labels for common groupings of the above Gender: how our sense of self interacts with the above & our sex label

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Damn. That's brutal. (And entirely justifiable)

Today is the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. One of the great political achievements post WW2. For those of us growing up in the 1970s peace, albeit an uneasy one at times, was unimaginable.

Can confirm. Was at a company that hired McKinsey to help us "do agile better". We paid a million dollars for a 101 level powerpoint presentation from a guy that had clearly never done real work before.

Changing plans mean I get one more summer in the current house. Which means I get to enjoy the fruit trees one last time. The plum tree is blossoming. #TinyJoys

The people who would prosecute insider trading all got fired already right?

This is just simple queerphobia. Utterly nasty. And to do this days after Jamie Greene, a gay MSP, left the party? Absolutely proving his point. The absolute state of Scottish politics right now. Completely and utterly shameful. Physically sickens me.

If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

Good grief, not everything is “a gift for the far-right”. When a public figure gets caught doing not only cruel but also illegal things and then gets punished for that, it’s called “consequences”. It’s not called “encouragement to do more cruel and illegal things”

Not now, plague of atomic rats.

You don't get a special biscuit because you "always hated" some wrong'un. There's a TV show everybody loves and I've always found it awful and so annoying. When the show's creator was outed as a POS I didn't put my hands on my hips and go "WELL WELL WELL WHO IS THE CLEVEREST LEGEND NOW!"
