would "hostage taking" include the position "hey support this guy who doesn't support your right to live, or else fuck off, because we'd rather try to win it without you than try to win it without anti-trans bigots who despise you?"
because you're right, I don't think people respond well to that

I just think people generally don’t respond well to hostage taking in politics, and will be more inclined to just shrug and say “ehh we will probably win without you, so fuck off” than to bend the knee. So all this kind of tactic achieves is somewhat increasing the odds we get a president Vance.

A racist changing is not dependent upon having contact with the people they have harmed. It is not dependent on forgiveness from the people they have harmed. It is not on black people to put themselves in harm's way so a bigot can practice being a decent human being. To expect that is highly unfair.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.
Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

"If you don't let me punch you in the face, the other guy will kick you in the nuts" doesn't seem like a sustainable political message.

I for one was massively disappointed to learn that the 'Toronto subway deer' just refers to an extinct deer (Torontoceros hypogaeus), a partial skull of which was discovered during excavation for the Toronto subway.
I was hoping it would be some kind of uncannily impossible cryptid.

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.
