Another impossible beauty standard for women

This was a pretty good one

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

"You need to hide any interest in 'dark' things or adults will think you're dangerous and act accordingly" is an INCREDIBLY damaging thing to teach a kid.

Again: the thing that drives people the most insane about the media isn't the Fox News/GB News "immigrants ate my hamster" stuff. That's all just baked in. It's when the Reasonable Liberals are presented with a story that would challenge power, and it just slides off and vanishes into smoke.

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

Yeah that's right. Are we gonna hang together or be hanged separately motherfuckers ? Now is the time to decide if you're actually against fascism or just in favor of a more whiney and polite out of sight fascism.

If he wants to get rid of human rights how about him first then we'll see how that discussion goes.

Yeah, bad news folks: you know how everything in Britain has been increasingly generous, functional, rational, pleasant and generally awesome for the last twenty years or so? Well I’m afraid the party is over for you greedy pigs: it’s time for you to suck up some real pain. Thanks

After much research I have perfected the theory of "AI as the One Ring". All AI techbros consistently fall under: - Knows it's bad, thinks they're just built different - Thinks it's inevitable and switches sides w/ no morals - Thinks it's his magic girlfriend - Evil CEO ruling over the rest of them

People around the world are uniting to say no to Trump. Yet Andy Burnham does the opposite by approving the Jackdaw gas field.

Over and over I keep seeing politicos describe trans girls as "men", or advocate restrictions on trans healthcare; and trans people get upset; and rankfile Democrats look at us upset and go wow, I just don't understand why these online transes are getting so upset about sports

It’s funny how Elon Musk can just turn off a country’s internet and has more power than most nations and that news just kinda fluttered past us. Like I’m sorry I think that goes against the rules of humanity, I don’t think that should exist, I think Elon Musk ought to be extremely and graphically mu

Eek!

The full weight of the UK establishment - NHS, the Times, Baronesses of the House of Lords, all misrepresenting an actual full blown scandal of acute child harm. My research (with @sandraduffy.bsky.social) captures the real situation, centring patient voice journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

Hey def a choice to write up "The President is credibly accused of a new rape" as "Dems call for special counsel to scrutinize ties" bsky.app/profile/ryan...

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

Again: the international fascist movement.

I just kinda glaze over Trump being Trump for a long time, but every once in awhile I snap. you STARTED A WAR. a war that is STILL GOING. no you do NOT get the GOD DAMNED NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Not sure how Sweeney's argument that AI disclosures are a political statement that invites harassment. I thought AI was supposed to be the greatest thing ever. If it's so great then why would you be butthurt about having to say you used it? Shouldn't it be super popular, since it's so great? Weird.

ai is so good every mf making ai do their project goes 100 evasion when you ask them if they used ai

If you thought the Conversion Practices Bill is already bad thanks to all the loopholes and allowances it provides, then don’t worry - it’s about to get worse. The Government are hearing “evidence” from anti-trans campaigners Helen Joyce, Dennis Kavanagh and the LGB Alliance this week.

I don’t know folks, it seems to me that the kids might have been right about their ruling class being full of deeply racist, misogynist sex offenders. Perhaps that whole Cancel Culture panic was badly wrong, and apologies are in order? Not least because it was obviously vexatious *at the time*.

The way a lot of men in the anti-trans movement speak to, and speak about, cis women allies who are vocal in their support of trans people's human rights is straight up misogynistic hate. See how Papa Terf Graham Linehan targets cis women allies in particular for dogpiling and harassment and abuse.

Something I spoke about before was how transphobia is often an expression of misogyny, it gives people who hate women an outlet and sets trans women up as a class of women it's socially okay to be misogynistic towards, while also providing an ideological justification for that misogyny.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

A reduction in waiting times from five lifetimes to three...
