Lethal injection has repeatedly been found to be “scientifically unsound, frequently torturous, and woefully unreliable”—and the method’s record is only getting worse, Elizabeth Bruenig writes.

Could be true, I'd be nervous about looking at the projections.

Just watched one of his videos. I think he calls himself an autistic comedian so he has an excuse for being shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Bpp...

I was chatting to a mate about this a couple of days ago. Global warming will actually kill the gulf stream and that will actually mean the UK gets colder 🙁

Exactly this. Like the adoption of the new term 'queer' so straight people can join the alphabet people even if they are married with kids like Laurie Penny 😂

Why I hate men
At least those who perpetrate crimes against women and those who do nothing to stop it.

Lobbying removed the 'disorder' part to gender dysphoria because it was seen as 'stigmatising' even if it was medically true and useful. And now there is a generic trans umbrella that includes crossdressers, tomboys, fetishists and everything in between. It has been disastrous for real transexuals.

Unfortunately I agree. I'm not really sure I'm gender critical as you might understand it. Transexualism is something specific that applies to people with what used to be called gender identity disorder.

And what do you know, even the report "Deathwish" gave us from 6 years ago says this.

To be fair it's a mixed bag. Most people are positive towards trans people. They just don't want biological males in female sport and 'women' swinging their cock and balls around in female changing rooms.

It’ll be THE issue. Because it’s an EU lock-in and the Commission will demand that kind of guarantee.

I can see why you struggled with the phrase "cobblers" and said it was obfuscatory language. You're as thick as mince.

Keno women don't have testes. They have ovaries. You do know this don't you? I know your nonsense is popular on Bluesky but step outside and you'll find out your views are seen as mad.

Caster Semenya looks and sounds male because she (I will use preferred pronouns because she was socialised as female) has internal testes that produce her high levels of testosterone. She doesn't have a uterus. She is male.

I've heard liberals advocate for public executions in the mistaken belief the horror would turn people against the practice but alas it would have the reverse effect. Charles Dickens wrote a piece about it, he was horrified but as he noted others weren't. It was a day out for the family.

I've always had this view. Very easy to virtue signal about your country not committing atrocities when the simple reason was it lacked the standing army capable of doing significantly bad shit.

So I'm sure you can find instances of Bindel retweeting some rotten Christian nationalist but you won't find examples of her endorsing their worldview. Please show me an example of this if you can find one.

Okay I can't believe you are this stupid so maybe you're being obtuse. If I post something by a fascist that I agree with about transportation does that make me a fascist? You can argue I shouldn't be boosting the fascist's credibility by doing so but it would be dumb to say it makes me a fascist.

As Bindel has made clear many times, her view on gender is anathema to the Christian Right even if they are allies of convenience in the anti-trans movement.

Matt @matthewblott.com · 12h
Anyway, there's a lot to unpack in what you said. The anti-trans movement has multiple strands, the gender critical movement is only one part of it and quite independent of religion. The GC movement has its roots in the radical feminism of the 1970s, people like Germaine Greer and Julie Bindel.

You think the term "utter cobblers" is obfuscatory? As John McEnroe once said You Cannot Be Serious 😂

Matt @matthewblott.com · 13h
"Cobblers" is a colloquial British expression. You're boring. And stupid. And muted.
