TFW housing prices begin to marginally drop, and the business press absolutely loses its shit, having a toddler meltdown, rage shitting and spit crying

the "eat out to help out" thing -- the fact that you couldn't get the discount if you got takeaway, which helps the business the exact same amount without risking anyone's life -- was like an existential unmooring thing for me. a time when i fully realised i live at the whim of capricious idiots

If we’re discussing covid, back in August 2020 the Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, introduced a programme that subsidised £850m for people to congregate in enclosed spaces and get infected with the disease that killed people, then the state broadcaster depicted him as a superhero

liberals who value institutions and understand them to be a moral force in the world must learn the lesson that those institutions can't coexist with billionaires. no matter how high you think the walls are, sooner or later a bigoted crank with infinite money is going to go after them and crush them

The thing about this is - the fact that this is even a goal for them makes it clear that SM are flat out just in the business of trying to humiliate a social minority. They just hate trans people, there's not more to their campaign than animus.

Sorry for the SM graphic but they have lost their JR attempting to ensure that trans people must, under all circumstances, be searched by a police officer of the same sex assigned at birth - including intimate and strip searching. Occasional good news

We are extremely disappointed that the High Court has ruled against our challenge to guidance from the NPCC and BTP that allows trans-identifying men to request opposite-sex strip-searching from a female officer if she 'consents'. The court accepted a series of extraordinary legal arguments from police lawyers, including an analogy suggesting that opposite-sex police searches are consensual' in a similar way to private citizens consenting to sadomasochistic acts. If Parliament had wanted to allow people in custody to request to be strip-searched by an officer of the opposite sex, it would have written this into the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. We will be seeking permission to appeal this judgment, which we believe is wrong in law. Maya Forstater, Sex Matters CEO sematters
