As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

I know everyone has seen the Miyazaki clip of him saying that AI art is an insult to life itself and we humans are losing faith in ourselves but sometimes it still strikes me that he said that in 2016 and every single year the quote becomes more true and undeniable

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Why are people so many people so shockingly bad at telling if something's AI-generated? To me most of them look so fake and just wrong that it's unpleasant to look at them. Do people just never look around and see what things look like?

A photo of Julie Bindel, alongside the headline "There's nothing to celebrate about the extremism of trans Pride"Bash Back was in attendance: “Stand-up, fight back!” as was the usual omni-cause, with some claiming the trans “genocide” to be comparable to what is happening in Gaza. Sex workers’ rights activists were there too. Chants and slogans proclaimed “trans joy”, and there was a near-constant refrain of “HRT, HRT, over the counter and for free!”

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Here is our full response to Lord Walney's article calling for us to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation:
Lord Walney (former government advisor on ‘political violence’) has published a Times article calling for BASH BACK to be ‘proscribed’. this would officially designate BASH BACK as a terrorist group
and make it a crime to support us.

We completely reject the idea that we are a "terrorist" group. WE ARE a non-violent direct action group that demands the total liberation of trans people, and opposes the rising tide of anti-trans bigotry.

As our action guide states: “we do not condone causing physical harm to any human being”. 

We take action to defend ourselves and our community from violence.threatening a non-violent group of queer activists with proscription, the day after a horrific right-wing terrorist attack on berlin pride, smacks of cruel double standards.

the british state has encouraged fascist thugs to rampage through the streets, sat back as far-right parties surged in membership and done nothing as muslims, disabled people and queers are subjected to  violence and threats by the right.

yet its lackeys like walney roar into action to label bash back as “terrorists” for engaging in non-violent direct action.

proscription is a tool of control wielded by the ruling class against those who challenge their power.

Wes Streeting saying "there are lots of people who don't accept diversity and difference in our society" is infuriating because he's one of those people. Wes couldn't accept diversity and difference within what could've been his own community. He chose to pursue a genocide against trans people.

As UK Health Secretary, Wes Streeting worked towards the abolition of trans healthcare; drove up the trans suicide rate, as recorded in report(s) he suppressed; demonised and scapegoated trans women for the crimes of cis men; and pushed for the segregation and exclusion of trans people from society.

Wes Streeting's "thoughts and prayers" for the Berlin Pride victims are worth as much as any US Republicans' after a mass shooting - which is to say, they are not simply worthless but are profoundly offensive to the UK's LGBTQ+ community and grotesquely hypocritical.

My beef with Morrissey runs all the way back to 1986 when he said this about Black artists. Nineteen Eighty Six, while the Smiths were still active. It’s not a “later phenomenon” don’t try and lie to me www.standard.co.uk/culture/musi...
1986 — "Reggae, for example, is to me the most racist music in the entire world. It's an absolute total glorification of black supremacy... I don't have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful. I hate all those records in the Top 40 - Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston. I think they're vile in the extreme... Obviously to get on Top Of The Pops these days, one has to be, by law, black," he told Melody Maker.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.
Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.
