These fascists will turn around and in the next breath tell everyone their policy of excluding and harming trans people is because they want to “protect women”.
Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

Hey @bsky.support @support.bsky.team your AI is falsifying election results again
While I remain a strong advocate of the EU, it is not immune to serious errors. The new Extended Producer Responsibility regulations on packaging are crippling to small businesses, while easy for large enterprise. Please sign the petition to object to the current implementation: c.org/JMtX7x47dX

An autistic man with a special interest in the Harry Potter series has made the decision to value the lives and dignity of his trans friends more than a book about a wizard who grows up to be a cop, sources have reported.
That stupid idea of a $100M historically accurate version of the Odyssey sounds great to me. Let's find some cool old Greek man, have him sit in a chiton, and just read the whole epic poem. Cover equipment costs, and split the remaining fee equally with the cast (him) and crew (cameraman and editor)

The fact Labour would rather enable the racist illiberal right if it means locking the liberal anti-racist left out certainly clarifies the type of party Labour is for anyone who might still be unsure
Well, this sure as hell needs to be more widely known. "The Labour Party leadership has caused uproar by banning its councillors from doing local deals with the Green Party." This is forcing Labour councillors to do deals with Tories. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

For most stuff, like Trump, I think you could bring someone from the '80s to 2026 and they'd be like "yeah, I can see how you'd end up here if you made every single mistake" but Sam Altman is a fucking anomaly. He's witless, obnoxious, grotesque; why even our sick society tolerates him is a mystery.

This is an insane deal, with books released in the last few weeks being made available. I guess I'm lucky (/guilty) for not buying them until payday hit today.

People on the Right claiming the Kirk murder is an “American Reichstag fire” that justifies a massive crackdown on their political enemies is really remarkable, if you think it through: In this analogy, they are actively and affirmatively taking the side of the Nazis in 1933.
Apropos of nothing, there's a massive discount on the Wolfenstein series: www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-... Fun game, cheap, worth a look. Very non-topical.

Remember when the last Wolfenstein came out, and Bethesda had devs joking in promos: "There's a lot you can do with a hatchet and nazi?" Now Indiana Jones can't fight fascists. That's a pretty decent measuring stick for what's happened to our society and discourse.

They're all cruel hateful cunts but I don't know if they sincerely believe in racism, sexism etc or if those are just vehicles for them to make money through cruelty. My guess is they'd be the same if gingers were the hated group. Or left handed people, short people or anything else.

This is a good lens about how little actual effort it took for Collective Shout to manipulate these platforms. It usually takes 100x (or 1000x) as much effort to undo these kinds of destructive campaigns. bsky.app/profile/xuel...
The fact that they only needed ~1000 people to call in and email to get their way is actually pretty crazy. There are more people on some of the Discord servers I'm in that could equal their weight, and some of these are just podcast fandoms.
