That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I don’t care how nasty, craven and despicable my enemy is. It’s not going to stop me from re-instilling in myself a belief in the importance of care, compassion, connectedness and community because to surrender to the other impulses would be to let them win.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

If I remember correctly, the Third Reich never did find the one or several Jews who had actually been responsible for making Germany lose the First World War. Curious.

Funko admits “substantial doubt” it can continue as a going concern amid crashing sales and mounting debt.

A reminder: no one should have to “earn” the right to live and move freely. Human rights do not depend on how much (or little!) someone contributes to the country.

If you know me at all, you’ll know that I was deeply unhappy about losing freedom of movement because of Brexit.
Well, um. Turns out that I was still an EU citizen all along. Dual nationality and I didn’t know. Life’s odd sometimes.

As a result, she is ineligible to run in the next presidential or legislative elections.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

🚨 BREAKING: The government has tabled their plan to restrict repeat protests.
Demonstrations could now banned based on the 'cumulative disruption' that previous protests have caused in the area - regardless of if they have been organised by the same people or not.
This is worse than we feared.
