I like my men like I like my Ocado grated mature cheddar

[job interview] interviewer: so god killed all your kids? job: that's right

If you can't think of the friend... It's you.

Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

I'm delighted to learn this, not least because the next item on my task list, which is to take my pet geese to see a well-known play by Samuel Beckett, is also a palindrome: "TO DO: Geese see Godot".

I believe that the traditional phrasing is "no fats, no femmes."

Really enjoying making cartoons on my phone. 🐸😁 #animation #loop #gif #frog #illustration #イラスト #roughanimator

Most riveting thing I've seen all week

We're just normal men, we're just innocent men. ❤️

People who profit from war are the absolute worst of the worst.

Nope.

I don’t think I’m hearing this in my head the way they expected me to.

Speaking about Good Law Project's strategic litigation to defend trans rights at the European LGBTQ+ Lawyers Association conference today 🏳️‍⚧️

Pollster JL Partners' slogan - "giving you the conviction to lead" - has really taken on a new meaning tonight...

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

I am made FURIOUS by the needless pain they’re made to suffer. Queer kids exist, I was one. I knew from very young. Trans kids exist, listen to them. The relentless cruelty of JK Rowling and her ilk are torturing these kids. So no, I will not shut up.

As promised, stealing this idea. Will the fact that the essay is about cyborgs make the whole thing more awkward? Less so? Idk.

It's an endless cycle.

New estimate of Elon Musk’s death toll just dropped www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This from the guy who has to hire people to play his video games for him.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.

right, ok, enough self-pity, I need to turn my shit pub around. it's in Stratford, it's got a (small) stage, there has to be someone who has something cool they want a space for queer-run, extremely diverse venue (we even let mumbling old white geezers in) what I'd call 'mostly accessible'

The historic character of New York City neighbourhoods will be destroyed by "fewer cars, and more dumpsters". Fewer cars, how, er, tragic and anti-historic. 😂😂😂

We’ve got this all wrong. This is clearly an adaptation of the Shamen’s seminal house music ode to the drug ecstasy “Ebenezer Goode”. “E’s are good/E’s are good/whoa oh oh/He’s Ebenezer Goode!” It’s just 2 hours of Depo dancing like Bez. For which he will be paid 65 million dollars.

😭

This is why we need the human rights act and equality act and reasonable adjustments and accessibility laws. The smile on her face. Eva gets to play a game and share her experiences with her family and friends. 💖😭

Er... Because it was all money laundering. This technique has only declined in popularity because the current US administration has made all financial crime by rich people and their friends legal now.

@doctorow.pluralistic.net is more often right than wrong, but he's extra specially right here.

I got PTSD just from reading this thread.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

It’s also just a basic point about decency. Either calls for murdering minorities are a dealbreaker for you in using someone’s product or they aren’t. For Labour (and the Conservatives, and the Lib Dems, and Greens) they should be.

UK’s museums and galleries left vulnerable to cyber-attack and theft, MPs warn

I've been reading Scientific American since I first got access to it at age 9 by sneaking into my school's senior school library (with the encouragement of the wonderful librarian Peter Heinecke). 😥

when you die all of your draft emails should automatically send (not in a surveillance way, in a spiritual way), it’d just be nice to see what folks were planning on getting to

I really need one of these

omg congrats!! 🩵🩷🤍

Whenever I hear someone claiming that USAID was evil from a leftist perspective, I hear someone saying “yes, millions ARE dying because Musk and Trump killed USAID, but at least they’ll die free of American imperialism.” Notably it is never the people saying this who are dying.

Fortunately, this is extremely unlikely to pass, but the fact that it can even be discussed makes me feel ill as it further moves the Overton Window in a terrifying direction.

Oh no
