All for making fun of Your Party and it's still an incredible shitshow but kicking out SWP members is Good Actually

I had about this, but now having viewed it: This is the result of Jeremy Corbyn not being strong enough a leader. It was never any good to play “wait and see” over transphobia.

Hussein played women against each other, and suggested segregation for trans people.

It was transphobic
Yorp conference doing its best to shut down anyone daring to call a transphobe a transphobe.

Imagine ruining whatever little credibility you have left by supporting the SWP. Imagine choosing that hill to die on rather than all the other bullshit that has come from Your Barely Nascent Party

Shout out to u/BuffaloCrapSmeller on the retro anime subreddit for posting this, I had no idea where this meme came from until today!

The thing wrong about Drag Race UK is not just the lack of diversity, and we’re right calling this out and comparing it to the diversity on Canada’s Drag Race. I also think it doesn’t truly celebrate UK queer culture and history, like in the way Spain does wonderfully in their version of Drag Race

These are apparently actual suggestions for The Party Currently known as Your Party. If they end up with For the Many the acronym will be FtM, which should amuse any trans men in the room.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

Like for real, I haven't seen a single thing in the media for ages about Sally Rooney except in the context of the Brits doing the will-we-won't-we dance about banning her books. Couldn't have come up with better marketing if you were her biggest fan
Advisor: Last time we tried charging Irish artists with terrorism offenses over trivial nonsense it ended up massively boosting their profile and embarrassing the government

Me and my friends will attack this thing with hammers, I can tell you that much
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Talking to some other volunteers at the food bank, women in their 70s, and the subject of JKR came up and I was heartened by the strength of feeling. "That vile fucking woman" was one description.

For context, these were due to be published in March 2025. The NZ govt prevented their publication because they intended to ban puberty blockers and the guidelines show they are safe, effective, and standard care internationally. Today they were released in an OIA putting them in the public domain.
In some good news, today PATHA has finally been able to release the 2025 Guidelines for Gender Affirming Care in Aotearoa New Zealand. You can read them here: patha.nz/resources-an...

Zack Polanski strikes me as the type of guy who would say “working hard or hardly working, nah I’m just kidding” if he caught you playing minesweeper on your office computer, just cringe and goofy enough to make office life bearable. An extremely millennial coded politician (complimentary).

This is the right level of cringe where this is genuinely endearing and relatable. Now imagine Starmer trying to do the same
