Ooff. This trans joke on a 2017 episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine seems so dated now - because it's respectful and not punching down on them! And it's mad to think this was only 8 years ago but enough idiots we're triggered by the few years of jokes like this that they ushered Fascism back in

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands to boycott Eurovision 2026 as Israel cleared to compete
Decision not to hold vote on Israel’s participation comes in spite of several broadcasters calling for its exclusion
Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands will boycott next year’s Eurovision after Israel was given the all-clear to compete in next year’s song contest in spite of several participating broadcasters calling for its exclusion.
At the general assembly of the European Broadcasting Union, the body that organises the hugely popular international annual singing competition, no vote on Israel’s participation was held. Continue reading...

I don't really care about the implied scandal here (they appear to be great friends, maybe they talked about using it) but what strikes me is how smart Ariana is, and how eloquent - and generous to everyone - this is for something off the top of her head in what was presumably one of many interviews
Here's something weird my neighbor Cassie pointed out: Chapter 42 of Cynthia Erivo's recently released book "Simply More" is almost verbatim words spoken by Ariana Grande in an interview a year ago. Grande is not cited or listed as a contributor or attributed in the book in any way. Weird!

Funnily enough, I'm off to an exhibition celebrating more than 40 yrs of an artists studio space in Temple Bar this evening. Something made possible only cos the scrappy space artists found & made for themselves in an unloved part of the city in 1982 was saved by a grand vision for the city

Incredible progress …
London is fast becoming a cycling city. As each new piece in the network appears—which has more than quadrupled from 90 to 431 km since 2016—so do new cyclists. Its infrastructure now sees a stunning 1.5 million daily users—a 43% spike since 2019—moving nearly half as many people as the Tube below.🧵

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'
And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'
Absolutely pathetic.

Musk: No, it's the assassins that are out of touch!
Musk told a gathering of former DOGE employees at his facilities at Bastrop, Texas, that he now believed he was one of the top assassination targets in the US behind only Trump and Vance.
Bizarrely he said he should start working out more to reduce the risk of assassination.

If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator...
...then you are still a collaborator.

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.
