The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.

If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BP profits more than double to $5.7bn in three months as Iran war sends oil prices soaring - "While BP banks enormous profits, millions of households are paying the price" #energycrisis #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

An AI shill regurgitating an idea already by several others like them is just absurdly on-point. But no, I despise AI, I despise the companies that push it, I despise what it does to our planet and our collective intelligence, and I despise the fact that it robs artists of their work. Fuck AI.

This. I don't think anyone is really anti-AI. They're anti-the-companies-pushing-AI. LLMs have some really incredible use cases. They can be assistive technologies, help with mental load, and allow you to focus more on the present than an endless stream of tasks or your phone.

This is a reply to someone praising Mare Of Easttown. How many times have you said "I like blue" And a stranger immediately replied "Yellow is better!" "Just because you think it's great doesn't mean I can't think something else is better." It's like poetry! This guy summed up the internet.

Just because you think it's great doesn't mean I can't think something else is better.

Are we just doing biopics for anyone now? Saw a trailer for 'I Play Rocky', the biopic of Sylvester Stallone, and I just...who cares? Who asked for that? Growing up, Stallone was just the guy you got when Schwarzenegger wasn't available, and he's not done anything particularly wondorous since then.

Can everyone just fucking grow up about Harry Potter, please? They are not good books, they were not good movies, it won't be a good television series, and the author is a literal cartoon supervillain using her money to make trans people's lives worse. It's 2026. Get a fucking personality.

This is good advice for anyone. If a person or situation seems off leave. I once had a doctor's appointment and when he came in I could tell he was upset and agitated. Did I leave? No. Did I have to repeat a painful medical procedure because the first doctor fucked up? Yes. Be smarter than me.

Dear young adults,
You can leave.
If you don't like your doctor, walk out in the middle of your appointment.

Leave the party. End the date. Don't wait until the "polite time" to leave or endure because you think you'll make a scene. 

You can go.

Had a delightful date day with my partner. Went to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a genuinely excellent, very tightly made film. Excellent performances throughout, and a great time was had. Then dinner and home. Love spending the day with the woman I love 😁
