I assume all the 'hurty word' free speech warriors that were crying their eyes out over Lucy Connolly will be absolutely furious about the guy who has just been sent to prison for his social media posts about Nigel Farage.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills.

Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats.

Gavin Newsom Vetoes Important HRT Stockpiling Bill For Trans Californians, Signs Other Pro-LGBTQ+ Bills

The bill would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care.

Yeah I mean I spent most of college being "involuntarily celibate" but it wasn't through lack of trying 😀
it also didn't turn me into a woman hating loon.

Not mine but people saying Terry Pratchett wasn't a good writer because "He never uses chapters"

this just boggles my mind

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

Lovecraft was great for world building and the RPG was amazing.

The writing and racism not so much

This is great news. We've hired the classicist Spencer Klavan to teach at New College of Florida. Goodbye gender studies; hello, Greek literature.

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Some of my right wing work colleagues are so triggered by @zackpolanski.bsky.social right now.

Just had to sit and listen to a 5 minute rant about how he's a loony apparently but when I asked why they couldn't really give an answer except "something about arresting people for tweeting"

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 4d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.
