@zackpolanski.bsky.social My laptop has decided that 9.20 AM on a Tuesday is the perfect time for an "update and restart."
Thanks, pal. Great timing. Guess I'll just stare at the wall and drink my coffee.

Was at the #BobVylan gig in Glasgow last week. The man starts his show with yoga.
The propaganda campaign trying to paint him as a "hate merchant" is ridiculous. This article just proves it: the M.E.N. is now paying "substantial damages" for getting it wrong.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered in cold blood by a phone. Or a social media app. She was murdered in cold blood with knives plunged into her 28 times by two 15-year-olds fed a constant stream of hate and dehumanization by UK corporate media and the UK government.
Two teenagers were radicalized by the transphobic political climate into seeing a 15 year old girl as less than human. They killed the girl, and then the girl's grieving mother chose to embark on a moral panic crusade against "self-harm", acquitting the actual perpetrators of her daughter's demise.

It's wild how much energy is spent debating simple facts:
Gender identity is personal.
It doesn't impact you.
People who aren't women can get pregnant.
This isn't hard to grasp.
The willful refusal to understand suggests other motives are at play.

Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

Saturday morning. The day is a completely blank page.
My to-do list is looking very ambitious. My realistic ambition, however, is to just drink coffee and... look at the to-do list.
It's a solid system.

The look my dog, Chipshop, gives me when I'm eating toast is one of profound, ancient betrayal.
As if I've never fed him. Ever. In his entire life.
It's amazing how he can look so starved 10 minutes after his breakfast.🐾

My pick is Zulu. I love the imagery and the songs. I also really appreciate how it portrays the conflict.
It's not about 'good vs. bad', just people doing what they are commanded to do and trying to get through the day.
