Just uploaded an EP of some electronic/atmospheric tracks I've been working on for a while glacierrays.bandcamp.com/album/veiled...

Andy Burnham’s Labour Party is as rightwing as the MAGA Republicans in Texas when it comes to the treatment of trans kids.

[Dems strategy meeting for the next presidential election] "We need someone like Lula" "Or... Hear me out... We stick with Newsome, but strengthen his appeal to disillusioned Republicans by doing a podcast where he has brunch with George W Bush."

This in the context of THOUSANDS of arrests over Palestine action which, no, I will not shut up about. The disparity is very clear and we all know why it exists.

What's striking to me are the rules of engagement and the methodology of action here, which more or less is predicated on burying liberal delusions about "debate" or the "marketplace of ideas". The rules were ultimately very simple: amplify your own message and suppress your opponent's.

I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.

Journalism has the same issue as AI: "bad at things I'm expert in, good at things I'm not" - it's actually bad at everything, you just don't notice. Swarms of privileged narcissists desperate for an angle to gain clout at dinner parties. And they don't care who gets crushed by their lies to get it

Apparently Tamara is British. So that's why she went in and redrew the borders of Ethan Klein's marriage

there’s a certain genre of image

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

No art, no culture, just a wasteland of jails

Only just realised this finally happened, albeit on a small scale, and 7 weeks late. But fuck it i'm counting professional demon Ethan Klein destroying his entire life and (hopefully) disappearing forever as something really good happening, and I found out pretty much as soon as I woke up

Vegetarian / Vegan food options. Unless you're in a British hospital, then you have one single thing to eat made exclusively from mushed up vegetables like it's 2003 still. Yes I am still mad about the month I spent in hospital back in February

Weeb jokingly putting “Charlie Kirk” into a novelty Death Note notebook and getting freaked out and never using it again after it goes down like that.

Good time to point out that I never specified a *specific* party. All genitally-obsessed bigot parties can burn.

It's this simple: If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all, and your party can burn to the ground and the nation along with it.

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 way liberals treat trans people makes much more sense when you take into account they consider social transitioning "full time drag" and medical transition a luxury

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

JK Rowling now claims she doesn't want trans people dead. This claim is easily refuted by observing the direct consequence of her actions is trans people being killed bsky.app/profile/soph...

My ‘I don’t want trans people dead’ T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

My suspicion is she had a bunch of PR people draw up a plan for her to minimise how much everyone hates her now, ahead of the new potter show, and she has insisted on continuing to be a hateful piece of shit so the compromise is a single essay rather than 100 tweets a day

Billionaire living in a castle calls minority group she is paying hundreds of thousands of pounds of her own money to legislate out of existence ‘elitist’

"As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy"

Yeah the problem is that they have the damn prime minister promoting it on main. Give it to literally anyone else. It feels insulting to see burnham pop up on my tiktok being charming on a train about people playing music after a vid of someone sharing the story of a trans woman dying of nhs neglect

Remember when Meta said they'd lost $79 billion on the Metaverse over the course of 5 years? Anthropic has just lost more in only 6 months, and this is supposed to be the 'good' AI company that has a product with an actual use case in Claude (it's not and it doesn't, but whatever)

Please explain how you violently displace an existing population of 750,000 Palestinians to build your ethnostate in a non-racist way www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/saying-zio...

it took four hours and emails across three agencies to determine if a simple, polite email invitation was legitimate, in case you're wondering whether AI has improved efficiency in my field

Keep seeing other press organisations describing the ITV Reform expose as “shocking”. Given how open Reform are with their abhorrent views, I can only assume the thing that shocked them was watching some fellow journalists actually doing journalism, instead of unhinged op-eds about trans people.

Most stuff is weak to lightning if we are being honest with ourselves

Is it racist, though? If the statement is so outrageous, you’d think it would be very simple to rebut. And yet, nobody has tried: they just point and screech like Donald Sutherland in Bodysnatchers, and never address the question. I wonder why nobody wants to do that?

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

I know I say this fairly often but I cannot emphasise enough how permanently dead to me the Labour party is now. Just a sickening level of capture by the most pathetic, brain-wormed fascists imaginable

look at this shit. i won't pay it @lucympowell.bsky.social. you can fuck off. nobody is gonna pay this. this is gonna fucking explode in their faces. i will not pay for the fucking bbc. fuck off. i don't use the bbc at all. i don't give a fuck about the bbc.
