Axel Rudakubana, a 17-yr old Black Rwandan, murdered 3 children in 2024.
Inspired by this horrific act, Netflix made "Adolescence," where he was portrayed as a 13-yr old White kid instead.
Protecting the rights of women and girls is not an attack on trans people.
Propagandising suicides runs contrary to every tenet of suicide prevention.
There is no low to which serial failed litigant Jolyon Maugham will not stoop in his endless quest for donations and publicity.
I wouldn’t normally listen to Ed Sheeran much - if at all.
But I’m putting him on my Spotify playlist today.
Not because I necessarily share his politics (or even know what they are).
But because I object to the cancellation machine: the idea that artists must publicly endorse the approved political position - or face walkouts, denunciations and demands that their work be cancelled.
Sheeran has made clear that he wants his concerts to be welcoming entertainment, not political rallies. That is a perfectly legitimate boundary.
So, Ed Sheeran it is today.
Well done, idiots 🙄
e quando um @ falou para a J.K. Rowling que ela não podia decidir quem era uma mulher e ela simplesmente respondeu:
“A BIOLOGIA JÁ DECIDIU. EU SÓ ESTOU DIVULGANDO SUA EXCELENTE OBRA”
It’s been fascinating seeing the Sydney Sweeney campaign unfold.
The two narratives:
⁃ she setback women’s sports by inappropriately sexualizing it
⁃ she’s receiving backlash from feminists who are jealous of her male attention
Not a single person is talking about how she correctly identified the most profitable consumer market for her to go into, negotiated a partnership with significant equity, and executed one of the greatest campaigns of all time.
The results:
- 60m views across company accounts (Polymarket’s LeBron campaign did 16M).
⁃ Google search is up 1100% vs prior month.
⁃ Novig has crossed 1B in cumulative trading volume since their August launch.
Sydney Sweeney being an intelligent, high agency entrepreneur will always be hidden by the fact that she is a hot blonde. If respect is off the table then respect be damned.
They don't hate Sydney Sweeney for sexualizing sports, they hate her because men find her attractive.
They tried the same approach but it didn't work for them... and it had nothing to do with how they look, but rather how they hate.
Hate is ugly.
Me está fascinando el caso de Sydney Sweeney porque está dejando al descubierto una contradicción bastante incómoda.
Se supone que "mi cuerpo, mi decisión" no?
Pero resulta que cuando una mujer como Sydney Sweeney decide mostrar SU cuerpo porque le da la gana, ser sensual y además convertir esa imagen en un negocio, de pronto la autonomía femenina parece tener términos y condiciones.
Y no, Sydney Sweeney no es “la rubia tonta que se desnuda”.
Me acabo de enterar que la mujer restaura coches clásicos. Restauró prácticamente desde cero una Bronco de 1969 y documentó el proceso en Syd’s Garage en bikini? NO... en overoles mugrosos.

Viene de una familia de mecánicos y esa afición terminó convirtiéndose incluso en colaboraciones comerciales con Ford.
También compra y restaura propiedades antiguas.
Es actriz, productora y empresaria.
En la campaña de Novig, Sydney no es sólo una modelo: es socia estratégica y accionista de la empresa, y participó en la creación de la campaña.
Y ahí está la contradicción: defendemos “mi cuerpo, mi decisión”, pero parece incomodarnos cuando quien decide mostrarlo es una mujer que encaja en los estándares tradicionales de belleza.
Sydney conoce el poder de su imagen, lo controla y lo convierte en negocio.
Puede reparar una Bronco en jeans y playera, producir una película, invertir en una empresa y también posar casi desnuda si quiere.
No son mujeres distintas, es la misma joven mujer ejerciendo su libertad.
JKR nunca ha estado en contra de los derechos de las personas trans. Ni les ha deseado la muerte, ni les ha amenazado, ni niega su existencia. JKR está a favor de los derechos de las mujeres, construye refugios para víctimas y dona su dinero para defenderlas. Sigue.🧵
