Still better than Humphries' record if we're playing this game

Looked into the charge that Catherine Connolly represented bank repossession only to find out it was as a barrister

That's not great but once again we're at "Legal defendants should only take work that 100% aligns with their morals and this is a realistic thing that they can do" fantasy territory

I swear I do not go looking for the most unflattering photos of this man possible these were two of the top search results for his name on Google Images

A cartoon elderly man with a long nose in a trench coat looks at another man with a real person's head superimposed over him, captioned "Oh, Linehan, can't you go five seconds without humiliating yourself?"

A cartoon man in a suit with his pants down so you can see how spotted underwear in a graveyard staring at another man in a trenchcoat with a real person's head superimposed over him, captioned "How long was that?"

"Medical technology" It's reshaping genital skin not creating a cock robots what do you fuckers think actually happens here?!

Gender reassignment surgeries have been around in one shape or another for nearly 100 years but if you'd listen to TERF's wealth of non-knowledge you'd swear someone just popped up with the idea yesterday

"Medical technology is far from being able to create functional genitals out of other body parts. So it is not possible to construct a penis for a woman, or a vagina for a man." - Sex Matters

This gets me every time. Clearly, y'all have never talked to a trans person about this.

Does that mean Oxford will ban The Telegraph-the ultimate safe space for transphobes-from its premises?

Nate O @nateo.bsky.social · 2h

Not once have I seen an explanation for why teenagers must hear things that upset them in virtue of the unspecified speech-acts being upsetting, nor have I ever seen an explanation for why teenagers will be forbidden to express displeasure with upsetting things.

William Hague: Why I’ll banish ‘safe spaces’ at Oxford
The new chancellor tells Cheltenham Literature Festival that there will be no ‘cancel culture’ and students should expect to hear things that upset them
October 14 2025, The Times
The new chancellor of Oxford University has said there will be no safe spaces for students and warned would-be undergraduates that they will “hear things that will upset and offend them”.

Yeah there are two of the 16 songs in season 1 which compares Carmilla's love for her children to Vaggie's love for Charlie and considering Carmilla killing an Angel to protect her family kicks off the plot of the season I have to wonder if this is hinting at something

Not to rub it in the face of those who liked her before this-plenty of people I liked are getting involved in these shitty projects-but man I'm glad I was never fond of this woman lol

Something about her acting always turned me off her

Also it implies that trans people are-like-equally to blame about this entire conflict when Rowling with her significantly larger social capital could have. Lived her entire life not saying shit and targeting a group of people who would cause her 0 harm

Her snort and defensive body language give me the impression she's sincerely irritated beinf asked about this

Like bitch you took the blood money you can't just go 'I didn't mean to get my hands dirty. Anyway compromise with those who want you dead!"

Man I've seen people try to use her stated ignorance as a way to defend her-like "Oh maybe we're overreacting all these actors can't POSSIBLY know" but her response now I've seen the clip is. Fucking terrible

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 20h

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

Granted kidnapping a child and forcing her to be chained underneath the house while you treated other kids her own age with care and compassion was probably a bridge too far lol

I actually like Xavier being more morally ambiguous like how they were depicting him in the 2000s it makes sense that a man who was best friends with Magneto would have some scruples and I absolutely buy that his motivations would push him into places that are uncomfortable with his ideals

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

This legitimately looks like a radio studio from an underground bunker in like a dystopic world where wolves have taken over the planet or something

Dan and Phil are now together

Thus another wrinkle on the everlasting saga of "I don't really know what Dan and Phil's like deal actually is what they do or did on YouTube and at this rate I'm too afraid to ask it's been too long this is just life now"

Also watch as our intrepid hero sexually harasses a woman because he assumes the way she's dressed is a ploy by her employer as a tool to distract her and then drops the N-word. Like....hard R baby

Ahhh the 80s

King's idea of a dystopic 2025 in the 80s if you can't pay for food: These awful pills with just enough nutritional value for survival

The actual 2025 if you can't pay for food:

Reading The Running Man novel which tells us of a fantastical 2025 where the state insists you're vaccinated and provides you with nutrient pills for sustenance

Important thread that *every* Irish environmentalist should read before voting in the presidential election.

In short: Humphreys was just as disastrous for the environment as she was on social policy.

Rob @robosullivan.bsky.social · 1d

Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president.
She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n

*looks at a political ideology with literally 0 political power* how can I shill for the Dems when they can of make it clearer they'll sell trans people down the river without a second's hesitation?

The context on which this was said does not make it better unfortunately

I believe that the far left is preying on the desperation of trans people in the search of cannon fodder for their revolutionary fantasies and it is hurting people. We cannot afford to eschew electoralism, nor can we take peace for granted.

What is with your constant punching left recently? "The left" and especially trans leftists have literally zero power. Do you not think that this energy is best used elsewhere?

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Jared Leto being cast as Barney: I'm gonna walk around shitting myself in this dinosaur suit as I send my castmates recordings of me screaming the clean up song

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 2d

Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”

Okay let's be clear here:

Porn made by consentong human bodies=bad
Porn made by stealing explicit content from people without their consent=fine

Okay, then
