We need to stop saying “strict” when we mean “stupid”

The gays are STRICT! What’s wrong w 6’3 bottom?! That’s a HUGE ASSSS RIGHT THERE!!

I await Nigel Farage calling for “pure, cold, rage?” .

What a terrible insult to the memory of Stephen Lawrence, whose family had to wait 20 years for any justice, & some of his killers, 30 years on, are still free. @KemiBadenoch should be ashamed.

We view capitalism as just an economic machine, but in reality, it is a cultural system that engineers our meaning, values, and desires.

That’s not to say I agree with the OPs premise. That’s wrapped up in some other stuff I’m not here to interrogate rn, but the idea that freer sex exists outside the lines of heteronormativity is def well established.

Not reeeeally. Straight ppl can be highly sexually boring. Men obsessed with not seeming gay and women obsessed with not seeming slutty. Someone’s always slamming the brakes on the adventurous shit.

This is brand new

[Àyànfè @Danny456080]

Capitalism’s individualism isn’t about freedom, it’s about isolation.

Isolated workers can’t organize. Isolated communities can’t resist. Isolated nations can’t refuse IMF terms.

Individualism is the tool that makes extraction possible.

Women have spent their whole lives playing male characters without complaint. Give you one female protagonist and you cry like babies. So pathetic.

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right https://t.co/8wABWe3bww

No shade, don’t ever wanna hear “it’s not that deep” when talking about anything race related/political. They gunning down kids over bottled water…

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

You were part of a cabinet that armed and supported a genocidal apartheid Israeli state.

Spare us the crocodile tears.

No amount of revisionism erases your role in that. You’re complicit, whether you like it or not.

DEI training told you if a white man is bleeding out in front of you and begging for his life, you should cuff him and let him die? 😭 And the British public is going to accept that as an excuse? Goodbye.

[Thanos Angelopoulos @Th_Angelopoulos]

I call BS.

The facts are these:
Henry Nowak told officers he'd been stabbed. He told them he couldn't breathe. An officer replied, “I don't think you have, mate”. They dragged him along the ground and handcuffed him. He died before anyone called an ambulance.

No DEI course teaches you to ignore a dying man. Officers have a duty to assess injured persons, call for medical assistance, and not take one party's word as gospel. They failed on all three.

This is incompetence repackaged as ideological victimhood. “DEI made us feel certain ways” shifts anger from officers who let a teenager die onto a culture-war target. That's their defence strategy.

Henry told them he was dying. They didn't listen. They didn't follow protocol. That's a conduct and skill problem, not a DEI problem.

They don’t know the culture they’re willing to kill us for. Because the only part of that culture they actually care about is creating a hierarchy they’re at the top of.

[Alexander Thatcher @ThatchEffendi]

You guys are such cliches. He has no idea what he's wearing. He's buttoned both buttons on a two button jacket, which is basically never acceptable. He's wearing a tie pin with a waistcoat. The collar is wrong and it's unbuttoned. Combining 1920s hair with a Victorian moustache is gauche. He looks like a waiter at a try-hard artisanal cocktail place in 2014.

I lost my ability to read for filth when I cultivated peace in my life and tbh I still don’t know how to feel about it.

The fact that billionaires still want more money should be studied by the same people who study serial killers.

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

22nd anniversary

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

It’s begun: The Great Rewriting of History by the politicians, journalists, media commentators who stayed quiet over Gaza to keep climbing the greasy pole - while a handful of us who spoke-up were smeared, abused, or fired.

As @Hamza_a96 says, don’t let them do it:
