Paddy O'Connell, asked on the programme to estimate what % of professors at Cambridge are black, estimated it at 30%. Seriously, 30%.

The big idea was always “cut essential services and the public will spontaneously become more entrepreneurial and innovate to make them unnecessary”. Sadly we have consistently failed our genius political thinkers, so minds naturally turn to: what if we just let them die, wouldn’t that be better.

A fairer headline would be 'Reform UK proposes letting disabled people die'.

I had a disciplinary investigation at the University of Cambridge years ago - a horrible kafka-esque experience where major depression hit for the first time. All for me beating my internet throttle and embarrassing an IT department after I had to explain to them how it was possible.

this being in response to the option "i like rhythym games but am bad at them" is already fuckin me up man. i literally wasnt even at the gameplay yet you cant get me emotional already thats cheating

As with everything else: they know what they’ve done and they know they are to blame. But they’re superior people - they are so obviously superior, that it never occurs to them to think about exactly how superior they might be - so it must be somebody else’s fault.

A great example of what always happens when the lads are asked to consider their own deep, immediately obvious guilt: like the Iraq War or austerity or Brexit, it turns out it was everybody’s fault. And if it’s everybody’s fault, nobody is really to blame www.thetimes.com/article/aadd...

TW: Suicide If you tell people you have SI, many are likely to suggest you call 988 or text the suicide lifeline. These are good resources *if you need to be kept physically safe;* they are not as helpful if your ideations are passive. Allow me to share some things that have helped me. /1

When you think about it, it's actually pretty cool that the UK government has a button they can press to make everyone with a phone immediately shit their pants.

Assigned people pleaser by unofficial Undertale/Deltarune quiz

Jaden@jadenthejaded.uk · 5d ago

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

another point for explaining that the extensive misogynistic policy that specifically targets trans women does not "see them as men" but rather treats trans women as something "insufficiently female"

Sarah has a suggestion@goatsarah.org · 6d ago

UK: trans women to be housed in male prisons. Also UK: cis men to be housed in female prisons. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

soooooo many societal issues that we face right now are legitimately rooted in people refusing to say "oh I didn't know that, my bad" or "oh, guess I was wrong". people feel like they've gotta commit to opinions or beliefs and then ride them out no matter how much new evidence you present to them

Being wrong is an important part of the human experience. You’re gonna be wrong, maybe even a lot. I sure am. Not right now though. In this I’m right.

reddit atheism is good when done to christianity specifically because christians are the reddit atheists of theists

samantha@commiesamantha.bsky.social · 7d ago

when i say i hate reddit atheism this is what i am referring to. islamophobia is so baked into both political parties in this country it's disgusting. @altnoaa.bsky.social is just a bigot pretending that this is a principled stance

The controversial new EHRC Code of Practice comes into force today. Feminist Greens remain firmly opposed to this discriminatory guidance that will further marginalise trans, non-binary, and intersex people, as well as harming all women and girls. Read our full statement:

I have started a new todo list system where each week if something fills me with a sense of immense dread and guilt it goes on a separate Shame List and as soon as I've done one thing from the Shame List each week I don't have to look at it or think about it again until the following Monday
