I'm only catching up with this days late due to thankfully not being on X, but it's actually got to this point - the last week multiple videos of trans women being harassed have gone viral, with huge support for the harassers, including prominent lawyers and GC commentators.

Please understand now more than ever people are attempting to harm or humiliate or burn people who are into furry or larger queer communities as a whole.

I’m gonna change the subject here because this is a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a long time. I want to talk about the time I watched Lord of the Rings, one of if not my very favorite movie, with a Black friend who was seeing it for the first time.

It is extremely funny to me that I have no nostalgia for Harry Potter despite being the perfect demographic for it as a fantasy-loving bookworm millennial child, because my nutbag fundie parents thought the books were demonic and wouldn’t let me read them. Spared in the most ironic way possible!

I worked with Tim Curry when I was seven, we were in the Opening Number of the Oscars together.
I had no business being there, to be honest. I couldn’t sing OR dance. But he was patient with me, and was as funny, fun, and kind as you’d hope him to be.
I always hoped I’d be able to see him again.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

The allegations of plagiarism that Cofnas surfaced? Liverpool John Moores had already investigated & cleared him & is *still* not being included in most articles. Jason Stanley explains why again there was a basic failure of journalistic understanding & why people took Cofnas’s framing over LJM’s

always sucks when yet another actor i like has signed up to be in HBO Potter, but it's also got me thinking today about all the day-players on that show who are happy to contribute to Jo's assault on trans people by taking on the timeless role of 'Bobble Fidgetfluff the gnome' or whatever

Burnham is showing increasingly that he is no different to Starmer: first, pretend a crisis isn't happening, then when you can't pretend that, claim it's all due to a tiny factor that you will solve with a single law.
Then switch to far-right talking points, pretend it isn't happening again.

Downing Street's press release for Burnham's "emergency" Cobra meeting on the drought didn't even mention climate, with the Prime Minister blaming the growing numbers of wildfires on disposable barbecues.
He's since appeared on GB News this afternoon to talk about migrant camps

Incredible shit here: the guy Badenoch is defending was sent to prison for sending racist abuse to the MP Luciana Berger. Who then did a whole series of interviews and columns talking about her criminal harassment by Nazis, in a manner intended to make listeners believe it was done by Labour members
Even I am taken aback at the new and surprising ways these people find to insult the public’s intelligence and make it more clear the only operative professional standard in force is “LOL fuck you”

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
