Amazing how trans people just wanting to exist is somehow the same as big automobile pushing for looser regulations and shittier public transport
A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

We are already living in a world where barely anyone is able to write a crappy first novel and try again, let alone hone their art over many years, and this is only going to make things worse because every first novel is going to be the same first novel

Imagine being so dense as to misunderstand that most black french teens are from former French colonial backgrounds and therefore had leave to come legally. I mean it's either stupidity or obfuscation and I guess one is more evil than the other
Fairly open racism and far right talking points from someone who is, last time I checked, a Conservative peer.

Every time you are upset about something the simulator responds condescendingly 'everyone feels like that sometimes'
AUTISM SIMULATOR FEATURES 1) People tell you you’re wrong about your basic internal experience for a couple hours “No, it isn’t itchy. The lights aren’t too bright. It’s not loud. You’re being too sensitive. It’s not that crowded. It’s not that big of a deal. It wouldn’t hurt you to look at me.”

the year is 2030 and i no longer consume anything that isn't personalized to me. every game, every book, every movie extends to the limits of my own imagination and no further. i haven't been surprised in five years. i cry softly, in bewilderment, if i see a word i don't know
maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

Because there is no 'cure' or medication for autism literally the only 'problem' with being misdiagnosed is that a child will be getting coaching for behavioral issues that they are definitely exhibiting
What is the rate of “false” diagnosis? What is the actual harm done? Especially when the main intervention is “understanding and reasonable adjustments”? Or is this just the transphobic moral panic collecting another set of victims?

Nothing more perfectly sums up the institutionalization Of revolution more than French riot cops attacking French youth in a place they’ve been taught to celebrate revolution for their entire school career.
Tensions are rising at Place de la Bastille, where police have begun issuing warnings to disperse. They have also blocked most of the exits from the Place de la Bastille.

I'm in the rare position as an expat that if some cunt said this in my presence I would just switch to German to spite them because who the fuck cares? So much of English comes from German originally anyway.
Curtis Yarvin, a major influence on Vice President JD Vance, is openly fantasizing about Hitler again. Extremism isn’t fringe on the right.
Any time anyone says things were better in the romantic past slap them in the face with this graph

This just in Spain now officially less fascist than the UK

The idea that university is about 'employability' is such an incredibly new concept. Like, less than half a century
'Amanda Spielman, who previously led education watchdog Ofsted from 2017 to 2023, warned too many people are being misled by the allure of university courses that fail to result in improved economic and life outcomes.' Ofsted has such a sterling reputation.

“Democracy has been hailed as, like, the holy grail for the last couple hundred years, but democracies are inefficient,” said the crypto billionaire. “If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Hmm, where have I heard this before? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...
I was a dinosaur obsessed five year old that forced my dad to go to Jurassic Park and I had nightmares about velociraptors opening my bedroom door for months. Also around that time I was freaked out by the gargoyles from the original Ghostbusters
In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?
