Would people be mad if I didn't return to the Trans Agenda for a while and focussed more on a little history project that's caught my attention?

I'm happy to refund people who paid for a subscription, I just like not being really fucking miserable every day and not ready to return yet.

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

It's relatable to think about 1930s diarists doing 500 words about going to the flicks or a chat at the bus stop and ending "Europe situation bad, I hope someone can stop that beastly Hitler". They didn't have people copying "Jolly good for Hitler" entries from some other diary on the next page tho

How do you know they were abandoned and not just looking for somewhere to build their houses?

There is an Arsenal podcast I listen to and people often send in quizzes that are quotes and you have to guess if they were said by a certain manager or a certain dictator and it occurred to me that we could do this with GCs - "Hitler or Helen?"

Job ads in 1884 are wild - "Wanted, little girls, about 15, go to this address"

Not sure if that's the age or number wanted.

"Wanted, girl about 18 as servant who can milk"

"Wanted woman to take entire charge of an infant"

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

I had no idea how rich a vein of pig-related narrative escapism could be mined at the BBC.

I've no idea where people who've never been held accountable for their actions due to their enormous wealth get the idea they are above the law. It is a mystery.

Scottish Labour are apparently convinced they can win this year's election by ignoring the SNP voter base and focusing on Reform instead.

This is very good news for everyone who doesn't want Labour to do well in Scotland and to waste a lot of cash on nothing.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Remember: those who want to ditch the European Convention on Human Rights would enable exactly the same thing in the UK. You might think they won't come to your door because of that flag in your window or your white skin, but I can just go on X and tell Musk to direct a govt mob to your home.
The time for Americans to stop this is yesterday. They are doing it. It is happening. The unthinkable is the only logical end point to this.

You have no more time to wait and see.

Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a “single-sex” facility, an eye-opening report has revealed.

A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022.

Just remembered going on a school trip to Castle Ward where we all had to dress up in clothes from like the Victorian era. The girls had to wear stupid dresses and spend their time in the kitchen and the boys got to do archery and other cool shit and I still resent this 4 decades later.

Leaving somewhere you, people like you, or others are being abused isn't letting them win ffs.

They *want* to be able to abuse you.

Staying gives them exactly what they want.

We're really through the looking glass now. The murder of Renee Good seems to have prompted many on Mumsnet to realise that Glinner is an amoral narcissist, and Brendan O'Neill to recognise the evil gloating of the online right.
