Something quite beautiful about the patriarchy’s extinction burst if you look at it from the right angle, a whole swath of men’s reactions to women realising their lives are statistically better if they don’t marry or leave their husband is to go “well then we won’t date you and you’ll be miserable”

![A stoner, hippy wizard (probably high) talking to Arric, a halfling with an octopus on their head.
Wizard: Yoooo, dude! You’re like one of those far out halflings, right?
Arric: I guess?
Wizard: you carrying any of… the good stuff? [wink]
Arric: “No, just my octopus.”
Wizard: “wooohhh! There’s some octopus ink that’ll get you fucked up real good, dude!”
[he stares at buttercup the octopus]
[Arric looks suspicious]
Wizard: “Dude, can I try-“
Arric: “NO!” [hugging Buttercup for protection]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xeqtsq6beie3e6q6ymnafuop/bafkreiam22l64kcfkvxkoskpiqe7izihrwl6gonf7s62peutbw75kfkkka@jpeg)

Every time. She won’t tell the personal story of all the trans people and allies she and her husband got blacklisted or had commissions spiked from a bunch of places
I see Helen Lewis is now moaning about how "gender criticals" were marginalised by the BBC who wouldn't let them "debate" trans people's existence freely! It really is a cult

The BBC has no pro-trans bias. The BBC is appalling on trans issues, just like the rest of the media.

I should write the argument up properly somewhere, but I think this is fundamentally wrong. A decisive fraction of the capitalist class does oppose addressing the climate crisis, but *not* because it would be bad for profits. If anything, a green New Deal type program would raise aggregate profits.
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.
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.

Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.
"The AI industry’s most important product at this moment is not a chatbot or a video generator; it’s the story the AI industry is telling about itself.... According to an MIT study, 95% of businesses that have deployed generative AI have gotten no value from it." www.theringer.com/2025/11/04/t...
