"Entitled white billionaire wants to decide laws"

I don't give a fuck if Harry Potter was your whole childhood. It's not more important than the lives of trans people.

"English billionaire who bought a Scottish castle and moved to Scotland interferes with local Scottish politics so it better suits her."

We used to call this colonialism.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The founding fathers got lots of stuff wrong in the constitution. But a minimum age for president, rather than a maximum, is right up there.

Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

It’s like a lost old man wandered into a bar and started a presenting a slide deck he’s never seen before.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

Wait so you’re saying there wasn’t a law for that already?

This is definitely a big part of why. It’s corporate Gamergate from the world’s richest man, with the victims almost entirely women and kids. The response of the largely male high-capitalist system…is to invest www.cnbc.com/2026/01/06/e...

This is unhinged. A 75 year old alliance in NATO is being trashed to serve one man's ego.

Trump is not a reliable ally, he's a reckless bully. Starmer needs a plan B to stand up for Britain and our allies.

New with @regret.bsky.social: Grok’s creation of harmful “undress” images is relentless.

Even today, after days of scrutiny, Grok was churning out ‘bikini’ and underwear images of women every few seconds.

Researchers estimate that Grok has become the biggest creator of sexualized deepfake images
Grok Is Pushing AI ‘Undressing’ Mainstream
Paid tools that “strip” clothes from photos have been available on the darker corners of the internet for years. Elon Musk's X is now removing barriers to entry—and making the results public.

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants.

Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.
