We shouldn't be shooting anyone, but canonizing Kirk is bullshit. Anyone saying he was a legendary human is cosigning all his vile rhetoric.
Among many terrible things, he literally said black people don't have the brainpower to take a job from a white person.
Fuck off with worshipping him.

You don't have to feel bad for Charlie Kirk. But you can believe that gun violence is fucked up. Those two thoughts can exist together.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk.
Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

this is called "doing a streeting" which is to position yourself firmly on the wrong side of an issue for no reason and to no one's benefit

when a company announces they're going to start using Al in their products all I hear is "our stuff is about to get noticeably shittier, but you should be excited because it'll be cheaper for us"

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR.
The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points:
- transphobic bias in EHRC
- nightmare of SC ruling
- toilet bans are awful
- must hear trans voices
- IGLA rainbow map

We have written to the SPCB about their decision to ban trans women from women's toilets, and trans men from men's toilets in the Scottish Parliament.
This decision will exclude and segregate trans people at the heart of Scotland’s democracy.

I feel like it’s being overlooked that a policy based on the idea that kids are autistic, not trans, is essentially saying that autistic kids don’t know themselves enough to consent to healthcare. This is making a loophole that will make autistic kids exempt from Gillick competence. It’s dystopian.
Remember all that time I spent on Twitter banging on about how “gender critical” fascists keep talking about autism because they wanted the ability to deny autistic people, as well as trans people, bodily autonomy. Well, thanks to the widely discredited Cass Review, oh fuck, we’re heading there.

Honestly I would have thought the existence of intersex people would shut down the whole sex being distinct, binary, discussion. These people pretend like gender fluidity is made up because sex isn’t and even that is not true!!! And yes I know they forcibly shove intersex people into 1 sex too.

Still bitter about the time a guy in work said he was going on holiday and I asked where he was going and he said, “Santander,” and I said, “So it’s a bank holiday?” and he didn’t laugh.

On BBC Breakfast this morning, they were talking about the Blackpool Tower Circus, and a planned bit where Mooky & Mr Boo take the microphone off the presenter, mess about and throw back to the studio went a bit awry, as during that segment the Vatican announced the Pope had just died.

i think half of "talent" is just a person happening to have fun doing whatever it is they're supposedly talented at, and not hating it. i was "talented" at art at age 3 but if i'd stopped drawing at age 3 because i found it tedious or unrewarding, i'd probably pretty much draw like a 3-year-old now
