yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore

a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

The correct response when asked about trans kids playing sports is not "it doesn't matter" or "nobody cares". The correct response is "trans kids deserve the same rights as anyone else, including sports, bathrooms, etc". And frankly, this isn't asking for a lot, at all. The bar is in Hell.

Just discovered that one of the reasons the Brits killed Jason Arday (besides the first reason, which must always be emphasized - they didnt like that he was black) - is they didnt believe him saying he'd been nonverbal. I've had episodic experiences being nonverbal. I'm wondering...

"I asked ChatGPT" Yeah well I asked the bugs and birds of the field and they say they're coming for you, that the age of fur is spent and the age of claw and beak is nigh and the only thinking beings allowed to retain their thoughts will think fast thoughts, air thoughts, and hunger, oh such hunger

Oh good, now we have centrists saying that Platner proves you need real insider skills to be a contender. Dude was a mercenary with a nazi tattoo who raped someone what the hell are you idiots taking about?

I gave 15 years of my life to a socialist organisation that turned out to be soft on rapists, and led by one. All our good work was undone overnight because of the rapist and his supporters. It's entirely on the apologists posing as 'left.' If you come forward you will always have an advocate in me.

Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it

No he doesnt, no he wont, no they wont ramp up to "thousands of launches" or make ai data centers in space, jesus christ do any research into how this shit works before you report on it you absolute worthless goons.

I told my girfriend about the "trans lesbians are bourgeois" thing and every few days she starts laughing out of nowhere because it came back into her mind

I dont like ppls Amazing Digital Circus opinions but here's mine: that everything we saw related to everything else & it doesnt make sense to say the finale focused too much on Jax bc Jax's arc was the meeting point of all the others & perfectly mirrored the protagonist. of course it ended that way

Hey oppression theory bluesky, is there a name for that specific feeling where you get afraid of a person being nice to you because you think when you do something they dont like they'll withdraw it, so you worry you'll be obsequious to avoid the whiplash of having their acceptance withdrawn?

My girlfriend pointed out that if you think something is decadent, like workerists have for queer people, then thats kind of a word for someone doing stuff you kinda envy. Maybe having a political excuse for why youre not that means you dont need to feel bad that you dont get to be that.

You know what some of the people pushing the LA election fraud conspiracies have in common? They built, grew, and energized their audience around smearing Blake Lively. If you can believe anti-MeToo conspiracies, you can believe that elections are stolen and votes are fraudulent.

Bridget Phillipson’s transphobic EHRC guidance as it is currently configured, will mean a lot of trans women dying because they will not be allowed to get breast cancer screening. Labour’s transphobic policies are literally trying to kill trans women.

Dear Minister,
Re: Equality and Human Rights Commission's Draft Code of Practice
I am writing to you regarding the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC)
Equalities Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice which was laid before Parliament on 21 May 2026 in response to the Supreme Court's judgement that, for the purposes of the Equality Act, "sex" refers to an individual's identified biological sex, at birth.
Constitutionally, it is the role of the Supreme Court to interpret the meaning of legislation and in this case Parliament's understanding of the word at the time the Equality Act was passed.
Given that the minister responsible for the passage of the Equality Act has confirmed that the ruling reflected the intention of the then-Government, the Court's judgement was correct in legal terms. I would note, however, that given it is for Parliament to determine what the law should be, the ruling does not absolve the Government from a duty to form its own opinion.
Regardless of whether or not the ruling was correct, the current issue is that parts of the EHRC'S guidance are clearly unsustainable in practice. This is evident when reading statements within the draft guidance regarding the healthere required by trans women under Codes 13.152 and Code 13.153.
The example provided under Code 13.153 states that "only women and trans men need to use" the services provided at Obstetries and Gynaecology (OBGYN) outpatient service". The guidance goes on to state that: "The outpatient service does not offer any treatment which is suitable for a man or a trans woman and therefore can refuse to treat them. The hospital can also refuse to adjust the way in which it provides the service."
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ROG) published a draft consultation document entitled "Care of Transgender and Gender Di…While I appreciate that the RCOG has not yet published a finalised version of this document, the suggestion that OGYNservices do not offer any treatment which is suitable for...a trans woman" does not appear to be correct.
1am also concerned that - under Codes 13.152 and 13.153 - women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men.
Additionally, 1 share the concerns expressed by many of our colleagues and my constituents regarding the practical implementation of this guidance in certain instances. Codes 13.123-13.126 appear to indicate that there could well be situations whereby there is no obligation to provide access to - for example - toilets for transgender individuals:
"However, it may be that offering alternative arrangements is not reasonably possible for the service provider (including a person providing a service in the exercise of public functions) or that doing so would undermine the service that is being provided. This may be because of the type of service being provided, the needs of the service users, the physical constraints of any building, or because of the disproportionate financial costs associated with making those arrangements" (13.126).
This appears to suggest that in situations where, due to physical constraints... or because of disproportionate financial costs" (13.126): a service provider decides it cannot also provide toilets in individual lockable rooms with handbasins" (13.123); is unable to extend access to an "accessible toilet with baby changing facility so it can also be used as a mixed-sex toilet"
(13.124); that transgender men or women could be left without access to a provision as basic as toilet facilities under the draft guidance.
Finally, it is not clear how the safety of individuals within p…

20 years in activism and everything I've seen leads me in the direction of feeling that having men around means you're going to be spending half your time dealing with issues of sexual abuse and the fallout from it, and losing good women activists in the process this is about Platner send tweet
