Almost *everything* you see in this format, whether infinite power cubes or solar powered houses for the homeless that fold out of suitcases or French "bread libraries" for the poor is liberal catnip bullshit by content farms. Stop being idiots. Thank you.
BWM cars now showing owners and unskippable ad for the new Spider Man Film whenever they start the vehicle. This shit needs to become illegal, yesterday, else how long before you have to watch it *before* you can start the vehicle.
This is incredibly sad. Rod Liddle punched his pregnant girlfriend. No feminist should tolerate such a man. I don't know what Kathleen and Julie are thinking.

If someone misoriented me and referred to me as heterosexual, would I be justified in having a serious hissy fit, aggressively reprimanding them whilst shouting “I’m gay! I’m gay” at them and then trying to sue them for completely failing to affirm me? How far would I get? Asking for a friend. 😉
What's the word for a man who uses his sexual fantasies to promote his misogynist ideology?

Older women lived through a frighteningly recent period when they were sacked for being pregnant, when their mothers couldn’t have bank accounts without their husband’s permission, and rape was legal within marriage. On the clock of human progress women’s rights are two seconds to midnight.

There it is, people. Disability, ethnicity, age, sex, sexual orientation, all of them are no longer grounds for discrimination because this creepy bloke with a cartoon avatar says so. You don't need laws to protect you if you're in an oppressed group. Because that wouldn't be "equal". 🤪
Alyssa Nguyen@alyssa3467.bsky.social · 3d agoThere are no such things as "sex-based rights" in civilizations where everyone has equal rights.
Good gods, these people are thick as mince. It's right there! The first four words of my tweet! THEY'RE NOT CHANGING SEX! There isn't an emoji capable of adequately conveying the utter stupidity of this creepy bloke.
Alyssa Nguyen@alyssa3467.bsky.social · 3d agoUnless the change is instantaneous, it is not "binary." If an in-between state exists, even for a brief moment, it is not binary.
Credit where credit's due, the mods can be fair on this issue.

They're not changing sex. They're hermaphrodites with male & female flowers that have evolved a pair of distinct & complimentary temporal cycles whereby flowers of only 1 sex are open at a time. The 2 types open opposite sex flowers at the same time. So type A is M>F across the day, type B is F>M.
