Rowling has upskirted, and defended doing so on basis of how someone was dressed. Rowling nas demonised cis women who look too "masculine". This is on top of being massively transphobic. Rowling doesn't give two shits about protecting women. She just wants to attack trans and non-binary individuals

Just so predictable. Labour got themselves into this because those who aren't True Believers thought they could appease those who are then the issue would go away. Not so. The GCs are obsessives attempting a top down reorientation of our culture to spite a minority they despise. They must be fought.

This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Some fathers are good, and that's how it should be. Genuinely Happy Father's Day. For those of us who have cut off contact with ours because they are the absolute lowest dregs of society, can people stop saying how we "need to build bridges. We'll miss them when they are gone". I guarantee I won't

Are you at all frustrated, even angry at the fraying remains of the social safety net? Do you discuss your feelings with others online or in the pub? Congrats you are now 2/3rds of the way to terrorisms and Kier Starmer will be around shortly to grab your kids' phones and also take you to jail

(Trigger warning: any sociologists among us may wish to avert their eyes to avoid spontaneous combustion resulting from exposure to the worst theory of social action I have seen in decades) For the rest of you, beware if you are “unhappy” or “looking for justice” you may be on the road to terrorism

Image from the UK dept for education. The “pyramid” theory of terrorism. Image of a pyramid, with layers in ascending order labeled “unhappy people”,”looking for justice”, “frustration, perceived grievances and anger”, “seeks like Minded individuals or groups”, “further radicalisation”, “attack”

This “we used to just politely disagree with each other” bullshit seems to ignore most of the history of lgbtq+, women’s rights, civil rights, blah blah blah

Mike Fischer began his Sega tenure at a young age and spent his first few years in Japan before transferring over to SOA. He went on to executive positions at Namco, Square/Enix, and Xbox. He told us about some of the historic events he witnessed over the years. www.sega-16.com/2026/05/inte...

List of those Starmer has called out for anti-Semitism: - The Universities - The Arts Council - The Green Party - Pro-Palestinian protestors List of those Starmer has not called out for anti-Semitism: - Twitter - Reform UK - The Trump administration Feels like there’s a pattern here.

This is just horrific. The gender critical movement along with the British press bullied her out of her job at the NHS and now they doxed her after she fled the country and are continuing the harassment and defamation. These people are absolute monsters.

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

The Harry’s Place dorks and extended pundit family used to be big on We Resist Creeping Sharia Because We Don’t Want To Have To Refight The Battles Of The Past (antiracism, equal rights). Do you notice we’re having to fight for them now, against *people like them*: white, British and US wingnuts?

The UK has fallen from Ist to 22nd within Europe, on LGBTQ-focused protective legislature. It's narrowly ahead of Albania - a Muslim country - and dead last in western Europe. This is owing to a surge in anti-LGBTQ sentiment that needs FAR more attention than you or your party have given it. RAINBOWMAP REFLECTING THE LE CAL AND POLICY SITUAISON FOR

ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people
