Warhammer 40,000 is so English. Two of the most evil forces in the galaxy are the dark gods of "pleasure" and "change", and the dystopian vision of society that represents a hellish low for humanity is "Being very Catholic".

"Estranged parents and their ungrateful children" I'm sorry you committed the gnostic crime of incarnation against a perfectly good unbodied divine soul and you expect them to be nice to you about it?

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny
at that point, you often see them let go of their pretensions towards being a Player and just go full Handmaiden's Tale. It's where they always were, but they deluded themselves into thinking it could be fun and frivolous

Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.

The problem with internet culture is that it's basically impossible islands to develop. The second anything even semi-original or interesting pops up, everyone is immediately on it. It immediately goes viral & spreads everywhere. There is no shelter, no hiding, no isolation.

Genuinely annoyed that the Labour Party resignation form has radio buttons rather than checkboxes for "why are you resigning". I can assure you, there are multiple reasons.

I have a long enough memory about internet flame wars to remember that attempt by TERFs to claim Pratchett as their own for the absolute nonsense reasons.
So I daresay I feel a certain satisfaction from the 1stEd signed Monstrous Regiment being the centrepiece of our auction.

The Genre for Trans auction wouldn’t be happening without the support of @easterconuk.bsky.social and appropriately the incoming team of organisers have donated a membership to 2026 to the auction.
Currently going for £15 which is an absolute bargain.
