Not every issue has exactly two sides. Not every skeet has a winner. Not every bad take is an evil person; not every banger is a saint. If you enter an argument you don't need to stick in it until you win. Be ok with drifting away from conflict that doesn't involve you. And so on.

Saudi Arabia funded Elon Musk's purchase of twitter so that the Arab Spring could never happen again Social media is about community so it's no wonder that all the default community of middle aged white men see in it is pointless chin flapping

Naturally, they didn’t get much media attention outside of the LGBT press, even though every fucking tweet JKR posts gets an article written about it. But you can help spread the word. Tell your friends:

Trans youth are under constant attack but they’re fighting back. They have no support from billionaires or the media or politicians but they’re fighting back. And it’s on us as millennial and older trans people to have their back. No lie I feel like they put me to shame.

I had it from a LibDem insider that Brown wasn't at all interested in continuing to govern and to be fair there are a number of very good reasons not to, of which the press howling at you daily that you're illegitimate is just one.

the press united behind the lie that the biggest party gets first shot, there's nothing in the constitution saying that but it would have made things very difficult for a Lab/Lib to make it through a year (I don't think any 20thC hung parl. did)

It's not just one or two people so I'm sharing this again. Please, think of disabled people. It's Disability Awareness Month so time to think about others. There is no need to post a whole string of emojis. It doesn't make your post stand out - it just makes me less likely to read and share it.

Oh, and one more thing, though not putting it in this thread because it's a somewhat different issue. But it honestly seems transphobia just doesn't really work as an electoral mobilising or demobilising "culture war" the way Brexit and immigration somewhat do. People just don't seem to care.

I just. The work of showing people how ableism is real and how their "everyday harmless status quo normal" beliefs and attitudes and behaviors are actually harmful can be like pulling teeth. Ableism is /so/ foundational. Folks will just straight-faced be like "but that /does/ make someone lesser."

not at all, I just can't think of a reason why someone would find it jarring unless they thought the British PM was somehow special?

It might be jarring for you but it's absolutely fine to use it, perfectly in line with how they title other Prime Ministers given the UK isn't the only country with a PM and is in no way special

With Sinn Fein’s victory in Northern Ireland and increasing support for Plaid Cymru; Unionist flag-shagger Starmer is in for a shock if he thinks he’s diminished demands to break up the UK because the SNP financial scandals helped him. That Butcher’s Apron of his is still not a flag with a future.

Incredible that anyone in biology would believe that there are any upsides to a technology that's every output needs to be vetted for accuracy and relies on planet-killing levels of computational power. "AI" is antithetical to human culture and planetary ecology.

A lot of talk right now about Heritage President Kevin Roberts - who lusts for a radical rightwing revolution that would punish those he deems enemies of his “real America” so bad that he must talk about it all the time. I dove deep into the extremist worldview of that guy a while ago:

Why read past headlines: If you wonder why Trump and his cronies say terrible things out loud that should turn off swing voters, this article explains it.

But it's a high-risk/high-reward fascist strategy. With Project 2025, it may be backfiring.

I remember trying to get people to pay attention to Project for the New American Century (or whatever it was called) in the late 90s where the people who would become the Bush Administration laid out that their key foreign policy objective was the invasion of Iraq. Nobody cared.

so if 19 of 121 MPs are hacked off with the PM then 100 of the remaining 102 are needed to renominate the current PM, who will be elected automatically ofc 1922 can change the rules but it is made of backbench MPs so they need to do that before they form a cabinet

So to confirm, now we have near-final numbers: Every time 19 Tory MPs get a bit grumpy this parliament and stick their letters into the 1922 Committee... ...it'll automatically trigger a leadership contest.
