This is literally the exact opposite of what Threads is about

not beating the allegations

The Panorama episode that normalised Andrew Wakefield's bullshit. I'd replace it with a programme called "Panorama: Andrew Wakefield is a dangerous liar and if you believe any of this you're an idiot. Get your kids vaccinated"

Every time I see an American going off about their amazing Christianity I'm like who is this blasphemer and why is he not recanting his shit

Oh boy time to share one of my favorite discworld bits again

#1C000LEST day 11 Under The Milky Way by The Church (1988) Oddly timeless and a firm favourite - I voted for it in UncoolTwo50 as well www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWxJ...

JK Rowling is cruel and stupid.

Jesse Singal, a transphobic bigot who has dedicated a large portion of his career to spreading misinformation about LGBTQ+ people, is baffled that John Oliver would do a single episode debunking his life's work

In 2018 Jesse Singal's story about how scary it is that trans kids exist dominated the front page of the Atlantic while stories about the lethal effects of white supremacy and our lack of pandemic preparedness sat up in the corner.

The ai-generated action figure trend depresses me. I made this ages ago for a throwaway joke. And it took time, and I had to study knock-off toys and what made them so perfectly wrong. I love imitating art styles and learning how things were made, but these days I think - what's the point?

leave our kids alone.

Happy World Parkinson's Day. I'm realistic, and despite that, cheerful. Happy to help raise awareness.

Apparently the reason the left "always loses" is because some of us are annoying and put people off. The far-right, of course, are a bunch of cool chill guys that are fun and normal 24/7.

Transphobes love to do "Look at this poor brainwashed girlchild" while pointing at a grown ass man. It's so gross.

#1C000LEST day 10 Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (1939) Bleak, horrifying, furious, hungry for justice - a song that could move the world www.youtube.com/watch?v=Web0...

"Streeting ‘genuinely sorry’ for ‘fear and anxiety’ caused by puberty blocker ban" but not so much he's going to do anything about it. Note he says he sought 'clinical advice' but we all know what sort of advice he took and what advice he ignored. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Everybody focusing on "BE COOL" but honestly:

A quick reminder that the main reason the public adopted the idea of "pornography addiction" is because a Christian child rapist got caught and needed something to blame. It is not based in science. It is not recognized by medical groups. It's Church dogma.

The Black Mold (2021)

🏫 One of the UK’s largest education unions is facing legal action for calling for a anti-trans documentary to not be shown on university campuses 🧵👇

I'm as shocked as anyone by this (by which I mean not shocked)

#1C000LEST Day 9 11 points - my first chosen Bonus Track - for the Jimi Hendrix Experience version of Bob Dylan's All Along The Watchtower (1968) A song of tremendous foreboding and anxiety that spawned a life-long obsession on first hearing it www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4...

John Oliver: "Lia Thomas prevented Riley Gaines from getting 5th place instead of... 5th place."

It shouldn't be hard for a cabinet minister to condemn child abuse and take action on it. And yet @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social seems oddly reluctant.

I heard a knobhead in the pub saying that maybe he's imagining it, but he feels as if he's in a 70s horror film because of the way people stand and glare at his TESLA when he drives it through the village. He's not imagining it. We've got a WhatsApp group.

@jewelknightjess.com have you ever painted any Conquest guys from Para Bellum? I'm a bit excited about them as they're in a bigger scale and I'm old and my eyes are getting worse I painted an Efreet but I did a bad job of taking a photo of it

My data show that Wes Streeting is over-paid
