As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

When you hear the whining about "police injured on duty" in LA today: the people actually listening to the scanners said LASD fired rubber bullets at LAPD so LAPD tear-gassed LASD. The protestors are gonna get blamed for it, but it was entirely self-inflicted.

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit £5k, it won't happen. They're over £2k now. Can we get this to target? Please share. Thank you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

"I'm already at work on book 2" in the acknowledgements of a 7 year old book makes me think we're never going to see it, in no small part because the author has been so clearly ambushed by so many books since.

Sure, this is an easy one. A social media app is nothing more than the people on it. The people there are nazis. The people here are not. It is better to spend time with fewer nazis than with more nazis. QED

Starting a war to distract from a genocide feels like it should just get you arrested. Instead it seems to be working and every supposed liberal nation is lining up to justify the starting of the war and ignore the genocide even more fully. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Given the Women's Prize for Fiction's... historically mixed record on anything outside endocisness, I wonder how this excellent statement went down.

If you - or someone you know - needs a confidential chat about a comedian / author in the headlines, I’m here. It’s been a privilege to be trusted by so many people so far and I’ve never stopped working on this. Every story counts.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

Immediately, to no one’s surprise, the Baldoni stan army started conspiring that Lively’s elite Hollywood connections meddled with the case. It is now veering into QAnon territory. This is what happened when Johnny Depp lost his U.K. defamation case, too. The battle is won but the war keeps going.
