The fascist astroturf group who handed out plastic knuckle dusters and spent their first rally ranting about muslims to the 60 or so attendees are now going to ship in a bunch of tourists to try and bolster their numbers.

Can a political journalist ask the DUP why they are (correctly) stripping this man's name off of street signs and yet continue to get selfies with Trump, who is accused of doing the exact same thing as this man?

In 2023, a man was rightly charged for calling the then-Leader of the Scottish Greens Patrick Harvie, a "deviant" on the street, for supporting trans people.
In 2025, a man was CLEARED of calling a trans minor a “sissy-porn watching groomer” on the street.

absolutely massive news from the EU's top court! while it doesn't force every EU country to perform same-sex marriages, it *does* require them to recognise same-sex marriages from other countries the same way they recognise other foreign marriages
it's a big step!

It is genuinely insane to see a judge describe Graham Linehan as a “generally credible witness” in a trial where he claimed Sophia Brooks has been engaged in “trans activism” since 2013 (when she would’ve been 6 years old), then, when challenged, claimed her drivers license lied about her age.

Someone using "western civilisation" in an unironic sense is your great big gigantic heads up that they've gone completely off the deep end.
The U.S. State Department is repeating a white nationalist conspiracy theory.
On Friday, it claimed that “mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization.”
That line comes straight from the Great Replacement myth: the lie that immigration is a plot to erase white populations.

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
