Ah, well now, you’ve got me there, I guess you really have Shown Me Who’s Boss. Your rhetorical tricks are masterful

Oh look, it’s another one, this time trying a subtly different tactic. Still, I give it a 4/10 at best, must try harder

“My source is that I made it the fuck up”

Femboys are a good thing

My phone approves, good phone 👍

The state of the world vis-a-vis trans stuff has me bouncing back and forth between “I guess I’ll just stay in the closet for the foreseeable future” and “keep being bigots, assholes, it’s only making me transer”. I need to pull my finger out and actually figure out DIYing in the UK and then just do it

Right? I thought he had a tantrum over Bluesky users wanting more moderation and flounced off back twitter to try and cosy up with Musk

I mean, probably. I’ve aged like 3 centuries in the last decade, time is meaningless and my memory doesn’t work anymore outside of stale memes

Hence the word “start”. It’ll take a lot of work, and it’ll be unpleasant, but it’s necessary because the alternative is to let America know that it can consider itself the ruler of us all. To say nothing of all the horrible shit that will come after

In a sensible world this would be the start of Europe fully turning away from America. Alas, we don’t live in a sensible world, so…

The future is so fucking dumb

Not only will appeasing them not work, it will alienate people who would otherwise vote Labour. This kind of thing is Labour just shooting themselves in the foot, even without Reform around they’d struggle to win any future elections but they just don’t see it (or don’t want to see it)

Of course, it’s a rot that is all through society, at every level, to varying degrees. My point is, almost the entire British media was falling over itself to decry Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party as antisemites but now that Keith is in charge so far it’s just “ooh, this might be trouble, but they’ve suspended the perpetrators so good Labour”

You mean to tell me Labour still has a problem with bigotry, and in particular antisemitism? I’m sure the media will be holding Starmer’s feet to fire over this to the same extent as they did his predecessor

Good old fashioned British conspiracy theories, none of this foreign muck - luv me reptilian royal family, 'ate the deep state, simple as

Yep, although I take some slight comfort that the whole “deep state” thing doesn’t seem to have found much of a foothold here (yet?)

I can’t speak for Europe proper (relatively sane Europe), here in the UK I fully expect most of that same kind of behaviour. Probably not to the same extent as the US but it’ll be bad

To be fair, what even is the fucking point of reporting it anymore? We saw what ended up happening with covid, where even otherwise right-minded people started having tantrums about masks and vaccines. The vast majority of people are not going to take precautions with a new pandemic, I half expect the right wingers to start deliberately sneezing in each others faces and asking if we’re triggered by it. We’re screwed if another pandemic happens, and reporting on it won’t even remotely change that, as a species overall we just be too stupid to survive
