I think if 24 people are dead it's more than "testing" a ceasefire.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The most amazing thing about Danny Kruger isn't that he holds these views. It's that he voluntarily expressed them to a journalist.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.

No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

The irony of the Roblox interview being he likely chose Roose and Newton because they're a soft touch for CEOs (you can see it in that interview) and he still comes across like a lunatic desperate to profit by endangering kids.

I forgot to say, earlier today I wrote about the catastrophically disastrous interview the Roblox CEO gave to the NYT about protecting children from predators. It's hard to overstate how badly it went.

kotaku.com/roblox-new-y...
"It doesn't begin well. When asked about the "scope of the problem" of predators in the application, Baszucki came in shoulders first saying, "We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well." Ah, the good ol' opportunities available when your company's product is rife with pedophilia. He continued, outlining how wonderful it is that young people can build and communicate together, how they have "150 million daily actives, 11 billion hours a month, like what is the best way to keep pushing this forward." It is the most astonishingly tone-deaf response." “I would actually say that is a very simple red flag. Like, that sounds like text filter many prior generations. So I would say the techniques are much more sophisticated than that. We're constantly getting better than that and sometimes it's adversarial. Like, we're getting into, you know, if we cryptographically were going to try to have an exchange of how to share your Snap handle or whatever handle. We see some of that starting, like things we'll have to essentially prevent in the future." “Fun,” says Baszucki, a man who appears pathologically incapable of reading the room. "Let's keep going down this. And so, first off, Hindenburg is not longer in existence, correct? So, you should report on that. They went out of business for some reason..." He then demanded to know if Newton had researched the answer for himself, before saying that it's because they've moved so much of the safety regulation onto AI, all while sounding absolutely furious that he was being asked. He then demands that Newton agree that if AI is more effective, it's better to use it, and when Newton does, Baszucki starts to behave incredibly immaturely. "Good, so you're aligning with what we did. High-five." Then when Newton tries to ask a question, he interrupts to say, "Thank you for supporting our Roblox decision matrix." Then interrupts yet again to say, "I'm so glad you guys are aligned with the way we run Roblox. High-five." Think he's done? Nope. Yet again he interrupts the question with, "Is this a stealth interview where actually you love everything we're doing and you're here to stealthily support it?"

Starting with “We think of it not necessarily as just a problem, but an opportunity as well” set a new Fuck Up The Interview About Child Safety Any% World Record
Newton: You have joined us today to talk about this new age-gating policy that Roblox is rolling out to protect kids. And I think we should start by just talking about the scope of the problem here. What has led you to this point? And how do you think of the problem of predators on Roblox? Baszucki: We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well.

Influencers made millions pushing ‘wild’ births – now the Free Birth Society is linked to baby deaths around the world
A year-long investigation reveals how mothers lost children after being radicalised by uplifting podcast tales of births without midwives or doctors As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room. Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...

Trans people have exhaustively detailed the links between the anti-trans and anti-abortion movements, we warned that transphobia was a wedge issue for the religious right to roll back women's rights, only for us to be ignored, and of course UK TERFs are setting their sights on abortion.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
