Dublin, Ireland. Proper left-wing. Trans rights are human rights. He/him. You might call me Woke but that says more about you. Depressive. Always angry about something. I hate the world. Don't follow me for a good time. I have muted the word UNALIVE.

How to spot a complete idiot / dickhead: they use the word "woke" as a pejorative. It shows they don't know or care what they're talking about. Okay, you don't want to show people respect or understanding? That's fine, but expect the same response from me, you impolite imbecile. #woke

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior.
that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

#Mo speaks and it is fire, but he needs a metaphorical bucket of cold water over him. Great players that he has been he is in terrible form this season and doesn't deserve to start games. Liverpool are lucky that they have plenty of attacking players so can afford to drop him; it's only a shame...

The paradox of prevention: if you successfully prevent the Very Bad Thing from happening, a whole lot of people conclude there was no Very Bad Thing and therefore no reason to continue working to prevent it.

1/4: I can't help thinking - dreading - that a trans woman is going to get seriously hurt or worse by one of these GC individuals. If it does happen, it will be precisely because of verdicts like today's which legitimise behaviour which would be forbidden against any other group of people.
