“Restorative justice” does not mean he is then owed an audience, or the audience he had prior to us learning about this. And this says nothing of my empathy for his victim who perhaps had to deal with the yearslong public praise for her rapist and now all this shit.

Wow, massive start for #CelebrityTraitors. Season 2 premiere was watched by 8.9m viewers on the BBC, nearly 3m up from last year. A record season premiere rating for the show.

Reports indicate Manchester City's appeal will question the independent panel's finding that Sheikh Mansour was unaware of 'sham' deals, arguing it is implausible that around £830M of his own funds were used without his knowledge.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

my initial read on the Cornell 7 case is that we’re likely to have an overdue national conversation about the voluntary intoxication loophole.

Women stay single often thinking ‘I don’t know if I want to be with someone.’ A grown up reflection. Men are so pulled by the social requirement to have someone (something women are accused of btw) they boulder into women’s lives full of demands and ready-made resentments. Work on yourself bromies.

But I hear these stories and can only conclude men arrive already angry with you. Already annoyed you’re not an AI titty bot. Already annoyed you’re real. A human. Already imagining you’ll reject him. They’re so bitter and they don’t even pause to wonder if THEY want this, something woman always do.

Look I’m queer and I appreciate my relationship to women is different (in that they scare me and I look at them morosely and do little else) but in my DREAMS I would want a girl I was dating to have a great time, feel good about herself even if nothing was there between us. I’d want her to like me!

Sophie Petzal @sonicscrewup.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Women will date literal trolls. Trust me. It’s so mad that the narrative is ‘men will go with anything.’ That’s NOT true. The overwhelming feedback from women re these dates is: he was rude, abrasive, self-absorbed, disinterested/made sex comments really quickly. Men are so fucked in the head.

Sophie Petzal @sonicscrewup.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Brother, porn has nullified your ability to find anything ‘attractive’ other than a swollen eyed, AI titty bot and that’s on you. In my experience, it ain’t women with the fussy demands on men’s appearances. Men want bots and love island contestants. Men have the warped, unrealistic expectations.

Sophie Petzal @sonicscrewup.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’m telling you… the stories from my divine, warm, loving, gorgeous female friends about their dates with men, men who should be so FUCKING LUCKY to breathe the same air as these women, and they arrive crabby, disinterested, have shit chat, no charm, no curiosity, and y’all wonder why you’re lonely?

Listening to Simon Schama on TRIH talking about the French Revolution and almost feeling nostalgic about the massive backlash he got for his book Citizens. Like...imagine being cancelled for high-intellectual reasons? Like people arguing about historiography. It's kind of a slay.

As I become an older Queer I find more of my pals share in the joke that ‘the younguns are all so angry and boring’ and of course there’s plenty to be angry about but that’s why it’s GOOD to have places you can just VIBE and PARTY and have FUN. Take time off from the rage. Compartmentalise!

Sophie Petzal @sonicscrewup.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I see this in a lot of Queer communities and spaces in my own circles, conflict arising out of a need to turn the sports team into an activism or outreach society, or the WhatsApp group to be a protest planning committee. Suddenly everyone there to just talk sports is not on side. An ‘enemy.’ Gurl.

Like can I have a vodka tonic and pull and not be in solidarity with every conceivable cause on the planet for five minutes? Would that be cool? Why do younger Queer women put this insane, tedious, self-flagellating pressure on themselves to be all things to all people?

Sophie Petzal @sonicscrewup.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Maybe this is a problematic boomer take and sue me but I’m so aware as I age how Queer spaces for LGBTQ women have this self imposed pressure to represent THE ENTIRE POLITICAL LEFT in a way that is so boring and you almost never see the same in Queer male spaces. They just get to have vibes.
