"This story is about Female Rage, where a woman gets angry over being horribly mistreated and abused, but eventually learns to forgive and move on and be a nurturing kind soul instead of vengeful, which would be masculine and unbecoming---" Shut up. Let women rip out their abuser's spines.

it really makes you think

I have one answer.

When they said “there will be no toilet police” they were always just saying so we need You 🫵 to be a toilet vigilante and sniff out the gender deviants

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 11h ago

This is what they expected and wanted to happen: that members of the public, shown the cops would take their side if they kicked off and went mental at anyone they suspected of being a transgender, would then start going apeshit en masse and enforce their wacko ideas for them.

I remember this, it’s John Kay, who drowned his wife then drove head-on into a bridge to plead ‘diminished capacity’. The Sun kept a position open for him while he was committed, then in their obit called him ‘the greatest journalist of his generation’ and ‘everybody's mate’

Tom Usher@tomusher.bsky.social · yesterday

I remember one time when some journo cunt died (who had literally killed his fucking wife) and all the other journo cunts on twitter started eulogising him like he was a great and lovely man, even when it was pointed out he had killed his wife. Now to check the reaction to Rod Liddle dying

The UK has existed as a state since 1801. The current borders of the UK have been in place since 1922. Do Reform UK politicians NOT know the basics of UK history?

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

I recall we had a period of time where the response of Starmer and Cooper to concerns about these groups was ‘I like flags’

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterday

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

The road to fascism was paved with "Reddit atheist" and "shrill feminist" and "blue hair and pronouns". The vanguard wasn't the rabid reactionaries. It was the "normals", "apoliticals", who tolerate occasional sexist comments but mock the "cringe" of well-meaning and earnest but awkward people.

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

it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true

the mainstream press praising rod liddle in death are not unaware he was a bigoted pedophile, they like him for it. the people in their in-group, at the top of their hierarchy, getting away with crimes signals that the world is in order. it is a moral good, to them. the bigger the crimes the better

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Anyone can be an 'autism expert' now, reports pioneering autist. "The term is effectively meaningless. In the ancient past only a tiny number of people were diagnosed as autism experts, but the field has expanded so much that many so-called experts show barely any sign of it at all, these days."

They're like this because they got all their history lessons from The Simpsons

Northern & proud 👊@gazlancs.bsky.social · yesterday

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

Fascists aren't gay. Fascism frames sexuality as an exercise of power, not attraction. They don't care about gender; they hate queers because we engage in consensual activity among equals rather than engaging in predation and humiliation rituals. None of this is hard to understand if you try.

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.

"If you're under 25 your brain isn't fully developed, so you can't be trusted to make informed decisions" I'm seeing this a LOT lately, especially today thanks to the Cass review. And it's utter guff, based on hearsay, misunderstandings of neuroscience, or wilful ignorance. Why? I'll tell you /1

Never forgot the time when they tampered with miners' strike footage to make it look like the miners attacked the police (it was the other way around)

alyson “end journalism” greaves@badambulist.bsky.social · 3d ago

I don’t care if you like its cultural output. The BBC has been a major player in the immiseration of this country, in the persecution of trans people, immigrants, muslims, travellers and disabled people, in the spread of dangerous rhetoric about climate change and vaccines. It must be dismantled.

Tom Bennett the government’s advisor on behaviour is in favour of stopping kids peeing until they are physically ill

Andrew Sissons@acjsissons.bsky.social · 2d ago

I really don’t know what to say about this to be honest, but there it is

I think one of the biggest tells of how hegemonically Christian the West is is how people who don’t see themselves as Christian because they’re not practicing Christians are still very much engaged in the Christian project of positioning “Christian” as a synonym for “good.”

So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors

Fascists love authoritarian parenting because it conditions children to accept their place in an unchanging and unchangeable hierarchy, and that "being at the whim of their betters" is an unavoidable fact of life It makes good, obedient kids who terrified of thinking for themselves

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

I work with women all the time who allow their husbands to rape them to avoid a beating. Who clean and cook and keep their children quiet to avoid them all being killed. So yes.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d ago

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

The luddites didn’t like capitals move to automation that meant skilled labor being replaced by literal children. Fuck this rich dickbag.

George Lucas likens AI sceptics to luddites clinging to horses and carts

I was 25 when COVID hit, but if it had hit in my school days the main consequence would've been me getting a break from the place where my peers were legally allowed to beat me up and the staff were allowed to force ABA "therapy" on me without my parents' informed consent

Robert Dallas Gray@robertdallasgray.com · 3d ago

one last thing, I promise: there’s way more actual empirical evidence of long covid than there is of kids experiencing ‘devastating’ consequences from missing school, ‘covid cohorts’ etc

They're gonna use this argument for data centers on concentration camps next.

in scotland, the lockdowns were so successful we didn’t record a single death from COVID in almost six weeks over summer 2020 then Eat Out To Help Out happened

Nate O@nateo.bsky.social · 3d ago

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

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it

Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d ago

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
