Spielberg is very lucky that Israel were so blatantly awful that he was able to quietly drop his Oct 7th documentary project before it got too far.

For my sins (lust, obvs) I used to edit Harry Potter slash back in the day and it was striking just how much better most of the fanfic was than the majority of Gender Karen’s actual published output. Not just the writing, but often also doing something with how itchily wrong the world seemed.

“like an Occupy poster from Walmart” 👌 Brutal. Perfect.

Goodwill was never, ever what she was selling. She was selling your own class system (which the text admits is actually a caste system) back to you, like an Occupy poster from Walmart.

This is what is never taken into account when existing organisations try to mollify extremists with compromise. They're not compromised with, they just recognise a new weapon they can use. Rowling should never have been given a single inch.

Amnesty also making their own job harder as they demonstrate that every tinpot dictator and murderous oligarch simply has to issue a legal writ of "It was actually very HURTFUL when you described me as genocidal despot" and they fold like an origami coward

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

A friend once wondered why his wife brought him Gatorade red he hadn't asked for. We enlightened him. (Turns out he'd forgotten an anniversary, and she was planning a "romantic" evening.)

I wish there was a single politician willing to say we need more immigrants here in the UK, immigration is a fundamental freedom and good in-itself, and we should accept all migrants as new neighbours and fellow children of god, as the nominal official religion of this country supposedly preaches

Drilling the North Sea would be breaching a Labour manifesto commitment. Which of course makes all of Burnham's protestations of the things he can't do because they weren't in the Labour manifesto utterly meaningless. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

Too many Americans are conditioned to believe that ACLU are left-wing heroes, even though its most consistent ideological position since its inception has been the defence of fascists.

I think the struggles of trans women often reflect the struggles of women as a whole, exacerbated and amplified in places. The cis women I talk to usually understand and empathize with my struggles, even those resulting from transphobia, because of our shared struggle for dignity and autonomy. 🧵

@amnestyuk.bsky.social need to disband. They have zero credibility. They have shown that they will capitulate if challenged, they will be ineffective from now on. Nothing good will come from their work again. Amnesty is better off dead. Do the right thing @amnesty.org shut them down.

"No hay consumo 100% ético en el capitalismo así que voy a optar por el 0% ético, soy un genio."

edith

“No ethical consumption under capitalism” was intended as an explanation but some of you seem to insist on using it as a creed, an excuse with the words guarding it as high-minded facade.
