Oooof. Sadly I kinda expect that from X now. It’s taken the worst of 4chan et al and given them another cess pit to turn into an echo chamber

Are we talking true antisemitism or anti Zionism?

So far this hasn’t resulted in much on that front :(

I just want to know if I can use generic paracetamol to get a top up, or whether I have to spend a fortune on branded stuff to still get the full effect

@dropout.tv
Polite accessibility request for the next season of Crowd Control - could you reconsider the typeface used for on screen text/reduce/remove the green red white motion effect?

It’s a VERY difficult typeface to read for many folks, made even more difficult by the animation effect.

I tell you what, learn a little bit about cancer and people who think you can cure cancer with diet or supplements do look very silly. This is why cancer biologists have such a hard time not being snarky.

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.

Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Likely due to it being a rifle/sniper, and politically motivated

I’d take a rejection over ghosting. At least there’s closure

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades

Sarah has a suggestion @goatsarah.org · Aug 29

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Second week using Visible.
It’s been great at showing me how little I can actually do without overdoing. This week is going to be one big crash.

Screenshot of the chronic illness energy pacing app “Visible”. A wheel chart shows 30.6/17 pace points used. Below is a chart showing a week of pace points used, with the latter half of the week all exceeding the goal

Yamaha, very much like Mitsubish is Japanese Japan has a culture of large family based companies/empires with different members going off and doing their own thing.

Redbull monster etc are extreme sports teams/companies that use the drinks for advertising

Annoying grammar sticklers, now is your moment to shine. Be more like Ian.

Private eye letters page:

Proscription charges
Sir, I can't believe I was
arrested this afternoon at Parliament Square SECONDS after holding up a placard. I deliberately wanted to show the absurdity of the current legislation by carefully
wording my placard to read as follows:
"I oppose genocide. I support Palestine (full stop here, if your screen reader didnt pick it up). Action needed now!" Naively I assumed I couldn't be arrested as technically if you read the placard text carefully I was not expressing support for a
proscribed organisation. I am of a generation that thought that Britain believed in free speech, and I simply wanted to express my utter horror at the present situation in Gaza. But the strategically placed full stop failed tocsave me
