I am British and grumpy. Tories, Brexit and most other things make me grumpy. I am a ridiculous blue rectangle in a silly green hat and I demand that you take me seriously!

I should have a pinned skeet so that people will take me seriously. That's how this works, right?
So the same BBC which soils itself at the thought of trans people being proscribed appropriate hormones is promoting their extremely casual use by cis people?

Sex drive and the great debate over whether testosterone can help
Can boosting testosterone improve libido, or is much of the attention solely hype, profit, and placebo?

One reason I keep saying that Trump's departure won't end our fascism problem is that every Republican presidential aspirant (even those who 10 years ago were "normal") are talking like twitter nazis now
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: bacon and eggs, big styrofoam cup of Folgers, then over to the head to snort some cocaine off the toilet seat. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

If your government doesn't follow its own laws, why should anyone?
NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

i'm against barriers to the fanchise but it would be extremely funny if the republicans enact barriers to voting and nuke their voter base
Been toying with the same thought. Pointless barriers to voting pitched as a solution to an imaginary problem are a bad idea in principle, but Republicans seem very sure it will help them on net, and that’s not really obvious to me.
The funny thing about the MAGA voter ID crusade is...are they SURE they want to do that? Increase the hurdles to advantage the most motivated? Because I assure you, Democratic voters will jump through any hoop you put in front of them to get a ballot cast. Can MAGA say the same of its voters?

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.
