Both these series are about how awesome communism is. Iâm losing my mind. They literally have never understood any piece of fiction
Probably Kevin's just coming out as pro-Ardrossan and anti-Troon because he doesn't like troons

âIf our harbour loses the ferries it will sound the death knell for this townâ ⌠the fight is on to save Ardrossan Harbour but local people are still being kept in the dark: my feature on this beloved old seaside townâs struggle to save its lifeline heraldscotland.com/news/2481âŚ
This is so much up to Kevin's normal standards that my 90y/o dad finished it and went "for goodness' sake, Kevin, this is bollocks" lol
Everything it says about Troon is nonsense
It'll probably be easier to persuade him Kevin also talks bollocks about trans people now đ

To be clear, Iâm not being singled out: fully one third of Guardian & Observer staff are on either zero hours or sham âfreelanceâ contracts. The Guardian issued notice on all these this week. If youâre an employment lawyer, feel free to slide into my DMs!

The Guardian is cancelling my contract after 19 years continuous employment with no pay-off so totes happy to go to the Indie to continue my investigation into Evgenyâs dad, the ex-KGB spy.
The UK media: so many fine choices.

But it's not just Baldoni. Everyone on that production and everyone in Hollywood is to blame for a situation where these demands are more realistic than them sacking the bullying creep who's made them necessary.

FEMINIST GIANT Daily Dose: 42 feministgiant.com/p/daily-doâŚ
ALT Text: A feminist revolution targets patriarchy in the State, Street, and the Home because it recognizes that there is no liberation without sexual liberation, without gender liberation, without queer liberation. A feminist revolution dares to imagine liberation from the militarism of the State and from its echo in the conservatism of the Street and the Home.

Funding gap for womenâs centres will mean more prison sentences, experts warn - theguardian.com/society/2024âŚ
And terfs will ignore this story right up until they hear one of the users is trans and then they'll try and shut the centres down even harder
A ÂŁ5m funding gap for womenâs centres will lead to more women being imprisoned
Womenâs centres work with 1000s in crisis, playing a central role in keeping vulnerable women out of prison. But two significant streams of govt funding will end in March 2025

This is bullshit though. All the need for different sizes of crash test dummies shows is that there are different sizes and shapes of people, and that the original dummies shouldn't have been just based on the average American white man.

X spy cop Andy Coles became Cambridgeshire Deputy Police & Crime Commissioner, currently president of Peterborough Conservatives.Â
A woman branded undercover cop Coles âan absolute liarâ after he denied having sex with her while spying on her. She was 19.

I'm still not really here, but shouting at bigots is disapproved of in the other place, and sometimes you just gotta, so I guess this is my presence here now
One of the very first things I ever read that included a trans person - this was in about 1993 - focused on how shitty it was to be misgendered by family after death, but here comes Maya to demand people be ~officially~ misgendered after death, under the flimsiest of pretexts
Gender identity not sex listed on Scottish death records @NatRecordsScot
- What is the legal basis for this?
- How does this reconcile with keeping track of eg when a spouse has died?
