The Expansive Arse of Finn MacCumhaill

normalise bullying meta glass wearers

While “police kidnap de blasio’s daughter and issue veiled threat demanding mayor authorize specific tactics” blip in the press! NYPD "Adams's protective detail kidnapped an Italian crypto investor and brought him to gangsters who sexually tortured him for his password" "forced him to smoke crack"

If I'd loudly, and at length, bemoaned the fact that Muhammad being a popular name in Ireland was a sign of creeping Sharia law, I think it would come up. With Linehan it doesn't. Because frothing transphobia is not merely excused. It's worse. If you hate trans people enough, all else is forgiven

i've been increasingly feeling Eh on F1 for a variety of reasons and there's always been the less than great taste in my mouth about the nature of the sport, but this is such a targeted Fuck You to their trans viewers that i think i am done with the sport and will not be renewing my subscription.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

*To the tune of the Indiana Jones theme* 🎵 eating whole handfuls of cheese 🎵 standing in my kitchen in the nude 🎵 mozzarella, probably 🎵 eating handfuls and handfuls and handfuls of cheese in the nude (cheese in the nude)

i think this is bluesky thinking on at least two levels

sex with women

file this under "i can't believe it was 2026 before someone did this"

JKR does not believe that that trans people are a real social category. She thinks they are deluded, pitiable, and mentally ill. She cannot abide a society in which they are seen as anything else. Out, proud, happy trans women are her target. They should not exist. They do not exist.

wow, JKR & HBO must be scared shitless about the backlash to the new HP series. I can't wait to cancel my HBO subscription on December 1st – you should too!

The issue that matters most.

it is true that trans people have gotten more rights and the right is mad at them. but they're not actually mad about the rights! they're mad about insane shit they made up!

CARTOON OF THE DAY H/T @sketchyrepublic.bsky.social

Anyone who thinks the USA is redeemable without neutralising SCOTUS is high as fuck and I want some of what they've got

vote blue no matter who?

The War on Drugs keeps piling up the wins

the important thing to know about every republican candidate who is pretending they will be an independent voice and not a rubber stamp for trump is that they're all lying

democrats will throw you under the bus and then get mad at you for not being on the bus

Dems: "It's a Big Tent!!" Trans people: *exist* Dems: "Not that big (:"

lol at paywalling an article that certainly appears to just be this

I think about the stuff I heard/was taught as a kid A LOT with this in mind

i think it is fun when people write things that are just totally in tension with easily observable reality. like, this is “charlie brown had hoes” levels of nonsense: “in his first term Trump largely respected the cultural consensus of the Obama years.” www.compactmag.com/article/how-...

4. this is the key issue - the reason we go for expansion over any other reform is that it's a) fast and b) constitutional this court will rule against any other restriction on its power, like term limits, and any delayed reform will be repealed by republicans this breaks their power immediately

This "guidance", the article reporting it, most of the people quoted in it, and the people whose money and actions resulted in this outcome, are disgusting. In 30 years we will look at this the way we now look at Falwell-style rhetoric about AIDS.

very normal behaviour from people with a defensible position

It's a 15 minute commute from "my level of expertise in my craft is too high for AI to turn my work into slop" to using AI to produce embarrassing slop.

"I'm too smart to have my brain pickled by the X algorithm" is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting your brain pickled by the X algorithm

oh. so data centres and drones dont mix well. good to know, good to know. not that there are any other potential uses for that knowledge, no applications it could be put to elsewhere.

its great to see Democrats, who spent 2 years blaming 3rd party/independent voters for Trump's win, embracing an Independent candidate. Quick q, how useful is a senate majority if it relies Manchin mk 2 (AI version)

if a hackers turns a virus loose on your computer, would you accept the hacker going "yeah, sorry, it'll do that" as a reasonable response? why are we being asked to accept this from "AI" companies?

The founder we should talk more about is Thomas Paine, who will fuck your shit up every time. Here he is in The Rights of Man just ripping into any ideas of "originalism" and that kind of garbage.

when ai leaves u behind

Filming of Carter Boehm and Ben Shapiro’s ICE propaganda movie has been suspended, as the city of Livingston has revoked the permits until further review, after the community and local businesses cited violations of issued permits, including disruption for the local food bank and unsafe practices.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

the USA is a theocracy

It remains disturbing to me how many Democrat supporters do not understand that democracy is a popularity contest, and if they continually select and support unpopular candidates with unpopular ideas (like "genocide=fine actually" and "AI>healthcare") it will remain hard to win the contest

And imagine if the media turned this kind of scrutiny and skepticism against police, politicians, and powerful interests instead of vulnerable victims of gang rape? What a world we could have
