I wrote an article called "Piers Morgan: Wanker" about how Piers Morgan is a wanker, and he unsuccessfully attempted to shrug it off by, uncannily, accusing me of having a crush on him.
Oh? Rather bold to introduce as an idea on the literal anniversary of Fukushima

ICYMI: Mystery outage behind US airline JetBlue asking FAA to ground its flights
Day 1477 of Russia's all out war, and here's THE daily ๐งต
It's an important anniversary for Donald "I'll solve this war in one day" Trump.
It's 1 year ago today since he demanded both sides agree an unconditional ceasefire or "serious consequences"
Russia still refuses!

April 7th, we finish this.
Democrats. Independents. Republicans who are ready for something different โ Iโm asking for your vote.
Weโre getting right back to knocking doors, making calls, and earning every single vote.
This coalition can win. Letโs go do it. #GA14
Reading about what the Iranian women footballers are/have been going through got me thinking again of "Tatami", a film I viewed close to two years ago at the 2024 Hong Kong International Film Festival...
(Incidentally, the programme for the 2026 HKIFF features a number of Iranian films (too).)
Claims that Muslim Americans are seeking to impose Islamic religious law on the country have become popular talking points among Republican lawmakers recently.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!
Let's talk about an amazing trans theater festival here in Los Angeles, and how the entire thing will be livestreamed so you can watch it from anywhere.
Letโs talk about THE JOY WHO LIVED.

Dems overperformed by a 17-point margin in Georgia's 14th Congressional District special election primary. The combined party vote is 60-40 Republican in a district Trump won 68-31.
All candidates ran on one ballot, and Democrat Shawn Harris will face Republican Clayton Fuller in the April 7 runoff
Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire:
Democrats: 28
Republicans: 0

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.
worth remembering, David Lynch directed โfix your hearts or dieโ specifically at transphobes. it wasnโt a generic โno mean people allowedโ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
Was she?
Agreed. I'd rather have him alive, napping, than trapped in an eternal 1963 jar by white leftists.
Go kick a Likud voter. I will thank you for it. But, for now, I will block you.
It's time for me to say good night to all you young white cosplay revolutionaries. Please continue fuming aimlessly, and enjoy the veal.
Fine. I don't really care about your take, and never asked for it. I'm going to end up blocking you and the other white cosplay revolutionaries when I get the chance. Good night. Bless your heart.
You're full of shit, cartoon white leftist, and I will block you shortly. Life is too short for your aggressively unproductive idiocy.
Israeli voters spent 75+ years voting for sickeningly bad governments, ratcheting things up in the last 60, and leveraging the Cold War to get what it wanted, if you can remember the days of the United Arab Republic. Your beef is with Likud, toxic from Day One, and maybe you should work on them.
When did I suggest a heel turn? I have an old post that speculates that the aging veteran of the original Poor People's March would have focused more of matters of socialism, democracy, and the wider human-rights struggle embodied by, say, Stonewall, or the advent of the Young Lords. Milquetoast???
Where is it fake? You throw these words around, but can you back them up? He was part of my fucking childhood; he was on the evening news, part of dinner-table discussions. I've even met Coretta, in the years following his assassination. Who the fuck are you?
That's better.
By the looks of it, you should probably give up now. Your drive-by comprehension skills likely aren't up to the task.
I'm looking at your inability to think.
As a black/indigenous/Caribbean American, from an extended family of educators, you can rest assured that I had a childhood full of teachable moments, and an adulthood laden with even more.
I didn't ask you to barf into the thread, lady.
That's not an answer. There's a big fucking difference between Hugh Scott and Amy Klobuchar, for instance. MLK didn't live long enough to see a whole lot of stuff, and to freeze-dry him in 1963 does him, and your weak-sauce argument, no favors.
The law is trans rights. But if you leave it in the hands of bigots, by, say, finding every reason under the sun to not vote for Kamala the Cop, those bigots get to enforce the law; they now use civil-rights law to combat "discrimination against whites", and say pro-Palestine activism's antisemitic.
