Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.
They're actively paying people to complain now...

I'm updating my Big Spreadsheet Of Cool Free PC Games again!

I merged in all the incomplete entries, which I'm working on chipping away at and filling in the details of, which has bulked the list up to 324 items. But some of them are for entire series' or platforms, so probably ~400 games here.

You are morally obligated to vote for the party enacting policy beyond what Tommy Robinson could even hope lest you empower a party merely promising what he wants. How do I sleep at night? Soundly, thanks to this glorious horse that kicks me in the head before bedtime.
Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

Top 5 movie genres:

- i have developed a new metaphor for the evils of capitalism
- trans allegory (unintentional)
- the people at this job are competent, witty and endearing for 100 minutes
- soundtrack: the visual accompaniment thereof
- history dress-up time
Top 5 movie genres:

- Does this robot / monster have a soul? (Yes it does)
- Sassy New York newspaper gal does not need love but finds it anyway
- I travelled in time or space. It was a mistake.
- You’re supposed to be the victim of my crime but I love you
- Being a detective is miserable but hot
What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:

- mystery on a train
- I've committed the perfect murder, "oh for fucks sake"
- European road movie
- ennui in Hong Kong
- I've tried nothing to improve my life and crime is the only thing left

Further down this 🧵: there have been less than one deportation every 3 years stopped by the ECHR. This is not about immigration; this is about leaving human rights behind so the gov’t can do whatever the f**k it wants to anyone who crosses it, including very minority not deemed worthy of protection.
There is no difference in practice between removing rights of individuals and leaving the ECHR. The end outcome is still the same, people lose rights. If human rights are an obstacle to your policy it is not the rights which are the issue, it is your policy. Labour going full Reform at this stage.

They were doing this in the 2000s under Blair, with Blunkett and Straw. The current crop are all in post because they will not question the divine writ of 1997 and the true church of St Tony.
Labour are doing all this evil shit in government not 'because they have to', but because they want to. This is the exact ideology of these people, don't be fooled otherwise.

We are the sixth largest economy in the world and the government are whining about having to take care of 100,000 of the most traumatised and desperate people in the world.

We really are a pathetic excuse for a country, aren't we?

The intent, for anyone paying attention, is clearly to revoke trans peoples’ passports and then refuse to issue new ones, keeping us captive and on a state extermination list.

I am so fucking tired of this slap-dick trust and safety team and their utter incompetence at maintaining a rule set, which THEY invented, and then hide behind as though it's a law of the universe... until they change it to be convenient to Singal or the White House.

People saying these things are advocating actions that will directly kill other human beings. There is no way to argue that this isn't the case.

If we do what they want, people will die who would otherwise be alive.

I look forward to Bluesky enforcing it's TOS against these people.

Here are things that do in fact constitute death threats, by the way.

"We should take away people's snap benefits to encourage them to work."

"It should be illegal to allow teenagers to access puberty blockers or transition care."

"Homeless shelters should turn away people until they're sober."

Under new plans to be unveiled by Labour, UK citizenship test has a whole section on Northern Ireland. If you get any of them right, you don't get citizenship.
I'm forever reminded that I'm not truly British because I constantly forget to forget about Northern Ireland
What Americans don't understand is 'crassly forgetting Northern Ireland' is a core part of British culture, like cueing and only being able to communicate via laconic understatement.

See also trans people.
🥽the reason they make gay sex illegal is because it allows then to blackmail their lovers and kill them when they become inconvenient

That’s it. Thats why republicans want gay to be illegal, why religious figures preach against it, and why MAGA hates gays

Also: gay rape victims get arrested

Everyone should be on HRT, even the most gender-reactionary cis person. Being in control of one's own hormonal levels is a basic freedom.
"my least woke opinion is---"

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.
