Ben Goldacre wrote a book called "Bad Science". To the best of my knowledge he has never publicly called out the transphobic Cass Review. Yet, he's all polite form when it comes to criticising the transphobic Rod Liddle after he's dead. He cares more about his dead mates than living trans people.

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

So someone slashed Stancil's tyres after he spent months bragging about harassing ICE and everyone on here assumes it was because of bsky beef? Isn't it way more likely it's some right-wing chud?

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

it's not just that you're all imperfect allies - we knew that. we made peace with that. many of us loved you for trying. but then as soon as the going got rough, as soon as it became a *little bit* necessary to pick a side, you all proved that your moral backbone wasn't worth a goddamn thing

Chilling assessment from a Hitler expert from Aberdeen uni “ Somebody influential on the Scottish far right has been studying Nazism, not as a warning from history but as a playbook for the present.” apple.news/Al7QPzAuAQ1K...

Scottish far right is copying Nazi playbook, says Hitler expert — The Times and The Sunday Times

Black-clad activists at the Unite the Clans protest did Nazi salutes at police and are becoming bolder and more extreme

centrists are only against political violence by the left, they love political violence against the left and marginalized though. poverty is political violence. war is political violence. the police is political violence.

If Farage did anything as explicit as reposting a call for any prominent Muslim figure (let's say Riz Ahmed for the sake of argument) to be executed, it would rightly cause an uproar. It's not hard to maintain a firm line against political violence.

Imagine someone in fascist Italy wearing a t-shirt of Mussolini hanging upside down and all the handwringers tutting at it. What are we doing here? Which version of history do you want to live in?

I usually hate it when books have one of those "now a major motion picture" covers but I think it would be pretty funny to have one for The Odyssey

NGL, if you look at any popular movement or org that was doing well in the last 30 years or so that suddenly collapsed there was probably a rapist protecting themselves by bringing everything else down in the middle of it. Abuse is *the* central organising issue.
