The grimly cynical piece of shit PM who stands for fucking nothing of value will no doubt demean and insult critics of his bullshit idea as it fails in exactly the same ways as everyone has tried to explain will happen.

Jon Pertwee episode. The Doctor is in a laboratory wearing a white clean suit, and behind him wearing a white lab coat while holding a clipboard and a vial of green something is Liz Shaw, who could arm wrestle a statue. Liz Shaw, who taught Deep Blue how to play chess, says, “They’ve sent you just about every drug in existence.” Sounds like they’re in for a fun night.

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Gornfest 2025 continues this week on Untitled Star Trek Project, as we head back to 1967 — when the Gorn were just a single rubber lizard in a spangly minidress and the Federation was barely a glint in Gene L. Coon’s eye.

I don’t know much about how podcasts on YouTube work. Maybe you can find a way of formatting your shownotes that works on YouTube and on traditional podcast players.

This article describes the tags that different podcast players display when rendering your show notes.

Formatting your podcast's show notes for different apps
I tested how HTML show notes render (display) in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube Music, Castbox, Pocket Casts, and Overcast.

Leaving a blank line in the description input box on libsyn creates a paragraph tag, which does work. Bulleted lists also work.

Most podcast players don’t display all of the HTML tags that can be included in the show notes in your RSS feed, and it looks like Apple Podcasts doesn’t display the line break tags you use to separate your list of links.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

True, but don’t forget that you’re comparing the British to Americans here.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.
“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
