Was telling a junior colleague a wee while ago about how when I was their age it was totally normal to be screamed and shouted at in the office, to end up crying in the toilets etc. and now it’s frowned upon to completely unacceptable.

So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary

This project has guidance for organisations and individuals for dealing with the new segregation regime in the UK. Includes a list of venues that promise to be safe. goodweeplace.com

Not a brilliant line to take when there are reports that Raise The Flags have been doxxing, harassing and intimidating council workers in Oxford with possible leaked info from their colleagues.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.

I do wonder if The Media Class of this country have been on the mercury cocaine. Their brains must be as hard and crumbly as Edinburgh rock. Imagine writing that paragraph and thinking *Séamas* is the bad guy.

Now, I *am* a nobody but @seamas.bsky.social is a bestseller so surely Joanna is just showing herself up here.

Not speaking ill of the dead is how Jimmy Saville got something approaching a state funeral.

Interesting piece. Was just in Dublin this weekend and had a lovely time, got chatting to some locals on the Sunday and we noted there’s been an influx of not just Londoners to our bit of Glasgow but also Irish people who’ve been priced out back home.

Superb piece on the death of Dublin, killed by greed. It's not immigrants who wielded the blade; it's our own, developers and property owners obsessed with squeezing every penny of profit out of the city, on the backs of stressed, overworked people they've priced out of living in it #spéirġorm

I actually do feel bad for Liddle’s kids tbh, your dad is still your dad even if he’s a cunt. I’d imagine they’re intelligent enough to know how their father was perceived by the wider public though and will know to stay away from eg. online spaces where they might see something upsetting.

A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person

‘he was extremely witty’ okay, post exactly one funny thing he said

How are there so many beloved BBC journalists who look exactly like this and are also wildly racist pedophiles? At least I only have to learn about them when they die, but that seems to happen every couple of months now.

I see Glinner’s having a go at ppl speaking badly of rod liddle. Quaking in his boots cos he must know full well the big party and rivers of champagne that will flow when he pops off. Tick tock, cunto.

Just remembered all the racist shit Liddle posted on a millwall fans forum. Don’t speak ill of the dead though, folks 👍

I don't know if we'll ever have a reckoning about how the newsprint/westminster bubble is absolutely packed with predators and abusers and everyone knows about it but it's deemed horribly rude to ever fucking draw attention to it

Had a lovely time in Dublin this weekend. Found a wee bar near our apartment that six live jazz on a Sunday, so we booked a table. Had at least two separate couples come in and ask if they could share our table, said yeah and ended up chatting away to both of them :)

Just to note that when I warn folk about the man who sexually assaulted me years ago being a predatory creep, I occasionally get “oh, but he’s so nice to me” even from people who believe me and heed the warning. It means nothing.

Robert Dallas Gray@robertdallasgray.com · 3d ago

if rod liddle was personally very charming and kind to you it’s because he recognised you as a fellow cunt

i'd say "pay attention to who has kind things to say about rod liddle, the racist pedophile, following his death" but to no surprise it is the entirety of the mainstream british press

Already seen some tone policing of anyone being horrible about Liddle dying, here’s my response to that: cry more x

perfect illustration of how these people will ignore all sorts of horrible bigotry - often towards women, including domestic violence - if the bigot in question demonstrates the correct level of transphobia

Dear god

Ah, just landed back in Scotland and seen the Rod Liddle news. Excellent stuff.

Keep thinking about Ian Austin saying he thinks Boy George’s AI-generated pro-Israel song is amazing. Obviously contracted some form of degenerative dogshit brain disease from too much- [redacted due to legal advice]

While I have your attention, due to the portrait of Turing on them, I have been trying to nickname £50 notes 'an Alan' for a while now. Please help me to get this to catch on. 'They're £20 each,' you could say, 'or, special offer, I can do you three for an Alan.' Thanks in advance.

Yes lockdown was really tough for kids. Lots of those kids are teenagers now so maybe as a thank you our establishments could stop deliberately making even more things worse for them due to a weird systemic hatred of our own youth

Lockdown was shite, of course it was shite. What I remember was the right wing doing everything they could to delay it, which meant that when it happened it had to be much longer and harsher. Now a GOOD question is "why haven't we done anything about air quality in enclosed spaces?"

There is no world in which you win from the position of -Unionist but pro-Indyref 2 -Corbynite on the economy -Rowlingite on LGBT+ rights Congratulations, you have managed to annoy *everyone* in Scotland

If you don’t want to respect a boycott, just don’t broadcast it and you won’t get yelled at. Then it’s just between you and your conscience. Very simple.

The Scottish govt did emergency funding in Glasgow after the union street fire because it completely destroyed dozens of small businesses and a bunch of other had to be shit for months. Edinburgh demanding the same because a few big shops are shut for a few weeks? Very Edinburgh

Kids: 1 KIDS Act: 0

Going to Dublin for the weekend tomorrow and due to a misunderstanding around who would be bringing checked in baggage I’ve ended up with the big suitcase, which is only half full!

That Doctor Who episode where they bring Van Gogh to the future so see how deeply his works have moved people, and then they show him whatever the fuck this is to make sure he still kills himself.
