The UK again shows they've lost touch with decency and humanity when it comes to trans women as a judge declared Graham Linehan not guilty of harrassment after he harrassed a trans minor and broke her phone.
Apparently the victim didn't seem distressed enough.

I can't speak for what was said at the protests, but seeing people react to an anodyne statement like "sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law" as if it were a vicious slur is clarifying.
Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

Noticed this morning there’s a harry potter audiobook nominated for the goodreads choice awards, in case you’d like to go over there and vote for literally anything else. This is a small thing, but potentially a tangible way you can help divert a little money away from JKR’s pocket.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
