Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

RIP to this angel

Over on Facebook, my Tory MP was doing his usual dogwhistle-moaning about the quality of Labour environnent ministers, and this local farmer decided that what was needed was some eliminationist Nazi rhetoric about .... The Fabian Society? These people are unwell.

Shout out to everyone who said it was just a temporary distraction and not a central organizing principle of modern fascism.

RIP Tim Curry. Absolute acting inspiration. One tenth of that energy and magnetism would be plenty.

Its pretty telling that the only kind of person the news can legitimately describe as "transcending politics" are one who unequivocally practiced kindness, inclusion, and protection for maltreated minorities, which everyone can see has a definite political bent.

How to win at most all things:

The British media are absolute unmitigated trash. Racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, rabble-rousing, Fash-enabling filth; The main reason this country is so completely and utterly busted.

“Silly” is a good way to put it! There were excesses in 2020 but they were mostly low-stakes efforts by well-intentioned people to address real injustices. The excesses of the right during the same era were far more harmful. The reckoning we need now is about how elites lost sight of that.

Gotta shut down the factory that makes this kinda guy

Hey, no working on Sunday! #Caturday #CatsLover #CatsOfBluesky

This makes sense. Trans People are nomadic pastoralists - while they have historically been valuable trading partners for sedentary agrarian cities, the advent of stirrups and their proficiency with horse archery made them a fearsome foe to urban areas from The Yellow River to the Pannonian Plain.

It is awfully encouraging to see that supposedly educated professional politicians feel that insultingly stupid hyperbole is the best way to sell this particular bowl of delicious shit to the public.

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Born on this day in 1593, in Rome, Artemisia Gentileschi. One of the great painters of Baroque Italy. Endured shit and painted about it. Here, herself as a martyr, Saint Catherine, 1616.

WAIT FOR IT WAIT. FOR. IT! 🪶 🐣

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

In case any of these rabid warhawks are reading this, although unlikely since they dont seem to read anything else on the subject: STABLE, HEALTHY, WELL EDUCATED SOCIETIES WHOSE CITIZENS ARE HAPPY, AND PROUD OF WHERE THEY LIVE, ARE BETTER ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST ANY THREATS THEY MAY FACE.

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Technically, they’re Remains now.

"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column — "A Pride of Perverts" — going on like this. TERFing really cooks the brain.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless
