But of course Cameron quits. No more glamour. No more swanky state visits. No more centre stage pontificating. Ah forget it then. Once again, the one who casually lit the toxic touch paper slinks off to look after number one. The ultimate political coward.

It always astounds me how cartoonishly stupid the far right are. For all their highbrow talk of classical western civilization and obsession with IQ they're just a bunch of losers yelling at meteorologists for not making the weather be good.

Good a time as any btw to remind you all that “gender-critical” ideology is in fact inherently homophobic: it seeks to define men and women on the basis of a normative, pseudo-scientific “role” in heterosexual reproduction. And they seek to enshrine that in law.

This is why there’s a shared political interest between LGB and T people btw: the notion that there exists proper “roles” for people wrt sex is a gender norm. We’re both oppressed by these cishet norms.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

I was being deliberately calm and reasonable because I wanted her to hear a different view and transphobia doesn't cause me pain in the way it does for trans people. But it was kind of funny how bad she was at talking to someone who doesn't fall for the standard TERF arguments.

I accidentally got into a conversation with one a few weeks ago. We had a few minutes of polite chatting and then she dragged the conversation onto 'transing kids' and when I refused to give the 'right' responses, she escalated and escalated.

Allison Bailey posted a weird rant on Twitter about being a pupil barrister in Starmer's chamber, crushing on his ex partner, getting drunk at work and finally having a silent confrontation with Starmer where she glared at him. She presented this as evidence of his bad character...

Tbh, I think this is a net positive. Demonstrating to Starmer that these thin skinned bigots will crybully, no matter what you do so appeasing them is a, waste of time.

Ages ago I read a survey in an economics journal where they asked seventy three economists across the political spectrum whether carbon taxes were an appropriate means to combat carbon pollution. Seventy two said yes. One said no, but sent a followup comment that they had misread the question.

Equally delightful is that Joanna Cherry has lost her seat.

My machismo burned away and I escaped the sauna, panting. A moment later, the other ladies all tromped out to the lake and climbed in. I put my big toe in, said “NOPE” and hit the showers. My big toe has had the full sauna experience. The rest of me will just admire from the sidelines.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.
Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.
The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.
Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

It bears repeating that part of the reason the major parties love to do transphobia because they are bigots, yes, but also because it allows them to pretend they are doing something for women and thereby get out of doing anything real or meaningful.
