Except Trump DID call for the riot. We watched it in real time! Wtf is wrong within media (globally, it seems) that they can't stand up to such a lying, extortionous, bully?

In addition to clothing, I do traditional art. You can get prints on my website, and if you act quickly, there's time to get a handful of bespoke pieces completed in time for Christmas. Get in touch for pricing.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

If you're a space nerd, I've got a range clothing on my website aimed at you. Including ludicrous 'race to the moon' shoes and trousers, and t-shirts that let you show your allegiance to either NASA or the Soviet Space Program.

The findings won't be a surprise to anyone who's watched the collapse of Twitter into right-wing extremism, but hopefully this superbly researched and presented piece finally wakes the British government up to how dangerous the situation is.
This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

I’m so angry and upset. These women do not speak for me.
In dark moments I’m relieved that Alice isn’t here to witness it, for how could I protect her? All a mother wants is to keep their child safe.
Then I feel broken that I even thought that.

Not to get conspiratorial, but actually a lot of these degrees lead to pretty good, highly paid careers.
The thing is, they also teach students to analyse media, and be critical of information sources.
Maybe that's why media barons and bullshitting politicians have spent decades denigrating them.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.
Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.
My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Has anyone made this FOI request of the south-west and the London CYP Gender services?
This post ⬇️relates to the north-west service, where not one young person has been offered medical transition since the service was opened over a year ago.
This isn't treatment. It's state sanctioned conversion.

#UK #TransRights An FOI has just confirmed what all of us have feared: for the Youth gender services, since July 2024, not a single patient has been referred to commence HRT. And 22 have been moved from youth to adult services , also without treatment. This is scandalous.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.
I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.
Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.
Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

If i controlled a film studio, I'd make a movie about Guillermo Del Torro creating an army of monsters to seize control of Sony to greenlight a cool animated movie. Like Being John Malkovich, but horror.
If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.
After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!
