Mind dump.

No bigots inc. TERFs, so not a fan of this mutation of 'Labour'

My favourite genre of video is young single men with no experience of animals, who find a stray, take it to the vet then *meticulously* follow their instructions to the letter.

I once got almost exactly that very mixtape (REM, Gabriel, Indigos, Lennox, McLachlan, etc) from my gf in 1998. I was over the moon.

One day I was riding home with a friend, and he was playing…I hope you’re sitting down…the very same mixtape.

An unimaginable atrocity.

Well, had a utterly shite week at work (hence why escaped here so often). But, it's over, and I'm gonna chill with a night of my own.

imagine knowing literally anything about Haiti and deciding to try this
Gavin and Tanner, planned and trained for nearly a year, legal documents say, in an elaborate attempt to invade a Haitian island, kill its Black men, enslave its Black women and Black children and fulfill their "rape fantasies."

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’

'My body, my choice' was always going to be problematic for TERFs but it's incredibly anger inducing to see them pluck at one of the founding pillars of feminism. Again.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

If you use a VPN it might be worth checking you GMail settings even if you are in one of these countries.

I am, Smart features was on. The only thing I can think of is that I use a VPN.
Apparently these smart features are off by default in the EU, Switzerland, Japan and UK, but rest of the world folks need to double check.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Honestly, this has made me incandescent with rage.

I have spent my kid's lifetime assuring her that she can be whatever she wants. That she can play with dolls, ride bikes, play football, do ballet.

I'm not sure that my skinny 11yo daughter with short hair and a wardrobe full of jeans and hoodies IS used to being challenged to prove her genital status by random people when going to the toilet, and 'would know how to deal with that' tbh.

But I assure you. I would.

We see lots of people, rightly, condemn how ICE in America for waiting for people at immigration hearings to detain them, but we rarely hear about the fear so many people have of turning up to their reporting sessions in the UK with the Home Office and just being lifted then and there.
