Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now?
Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

The reduction of politics to voting is part of the 50 year neoliberal project whose foremost goal is to make you think of yourself as an atomized individual and not as a member of a polity.

If you've ever wondered why your vote seems to accomplish so little, I think you can blame the near-abolition of small p politics by Big P politicians of every stripe.

There's a moment early on that's just footage of Elon Musk balding and in khakis walking down an office hallway in the late 90s and the entire audience burst out laughing. If Musk is made aware of audience reactions like this I think he might actually crash out.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Today’s basic income proponents say cash payments would be good for everyone. In the 1790s, the idea’s inventor argued something else: It was owed to everyone.

you're part of a government that has been trying to remove benefits from disabled people, fuel allowance for vulnerable pensioners, and rolled back my rights. there is no world in which any of that can be considered left wing. this isn't a difference of opinion, this is what do words mean

Tommo was only arrested because the dingy had some French coastguard guy on it, if there had been migrants on there they probably wouldn’t have bothered

A "vigilante action" is just a violent crime you agree with.
Evan Davis on PM asked if ‘Danny Tommo’ “had any kind of point” by puncturing a dinghy with a knife because “the [authorities] should be doing that themselves”.
He went on to describe it as “vigilante action”.
