Okay Control Resonant, you've finally won my over by choosing one of my favourite songs from the 90s as the music for your latest trailer...

Nothing says I'm totally not a problematic person like a faq section on your website dedicated to countering all the terrible opinions you have

Btw, this is what you get when you vote in transphobic Dems. They don't improve over time or are secretly waiting to support trans people once elected

OMG, the JK Rowling FAQ is real? This is hilarious
Part of the FAQ section on JK Rowling's website:

1. Is J.K. Rowling transphobic?

2. Has J.K. Rowling been cancelled?

3. Does J.K. Rowling have cancer?

4. Is Beira's Place anti-rights as highlighted in the recent Amnesty International report?

5. Is J.K. Rowling homophobic?

6. Why was J.K. Rowling in the Epstein files?

7. Does J.K. Rowling have mold in her house?

I wonder if we're so obsessed with things like fat bear week and round animals etc because the human body types it's acceptable to admire are so narrow?

The framing of some people's arguments on here at the moment is manipulative and false...and those are just the ones I agree with. But it's very hard to argue online that I agree with the premise but your reasoning is false and manipulative without being shouted down as a liberal/centrist

The thing about trying not to pick a side is that the nazis *instantly recognize* which side you picked. They immediately identify you as an ally. They know exactly what side you're on. It doesn't fool the victims, it doesn't fool the Nazis, the only people it could possibly fool is centrists.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

As the seasons have gone on my enjoyment of drag race has hinged more on a really good episode of pitstop or fashion photo ruview than the actual show. Lawrence Chaney saying of one competitor, 'it's like Ebeneezer Scrooge if she transitioned' is the best thing I've heard in years 😂

My issue with paywalls that I do think rises above simple personal grievance is that the misinformation news outlets don’t use them & now people’s perception of reality is upside down & I think those two things are connected

There are two memories I have growing up: one of a cartoon we had on VHS that was a hand-me-down from my big bro, and one was a poem we read at school. Both stick in my mind and both I've never found online. It used to make me sad but now it feels special to have these things that are just mine

So if we don't own films or games we download and pay for because they're digital do we own the files we upload to the cloud that are digital? Like if they closed OneDrive would you have an absolute right to your files stored there?

I feel like I can finally say I have always hated 'And I would walk 500 miles' by The Proclaimers. It sets my teeth on edge. Now they've outed themselves as transphobic it feels safe to say without being accused of not being 'fun'

That Sydney Sweeney ad is hilariously bad. For an actress she sure swallows her words. At one point it sounds like she's saying, 'no wars, no dust, no politics'. I cannot figure it out. I do think she suffers extra scrutiny for being blond with big boobs but she also chooses ads with no art to them

It's all part of a bigger phenomenon that has destabilised reality for regular people. Alternative facts. Low trust in institutions like the press, medical associations etc. if everything is contentious then whatever you want is the truth or a lie and politics and billionaires take advantage

Utopia (UK) still hits as one of the best TV series ever. The technicolour cinematography, the Cristobal Tapia de Veer score, the acting, plot, and dialogue. It's only minus point is it treats global resource scarcity and overpopulation theory as real issues

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
