Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
Astronauts working on the International Space Station were dazzled by a sudden burst of flirting so bright that it briefly illuminated most of Shropshire, NASA has reported.
It took a hot minute, but I can finally share my new paper on evidentiary pragmatism in transgender health care!
In it, I propose a new principle for evaluating scientific evidence based on the best reasonably achievable evidence, avoiding the ‘catch-22’ where trans care can never be justified.
Thanks to everyone who came to Semicolon. It'll be back soon bigger and better. Perhaps even with a real on stage toilet!
Maybe I just wanted to hear Targaryen in a Galway accent is that so wrong
Hillary Cass both sides-ing the “trans debate” dismisses the material power imbalance
- One side is pushing for restrictions, removal of care, & the eradication of trans kids
- The other is pushing for access to care and legal protections
Those are not symmetrical in terms of power or impact
Is it just me or is the pick n mix kinda giving Saddam Hussein’s hiding place?
People On Here or irl may not like you. They might have good reasons, or they might not.
They still deserve basic human rights, though. Food, water, healthcare, representation, education, housing, and dignity are for EVERYONE, regardless of the social media beefs and arguments we have.
EVERYONE.
Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

Israel's apologists spent over 2 years sowing distrust in the official Gaza death toll.
Now the Israeli army quietly accepts that it is actually an underestimate.
Eternal shame for the atrocity deniers. They must never be absolved of their guilt.
If Jesus really loved me he'd let me hit that stigmussy
I've read some bollocks-laden pitches from production companies in my time, but 'Alan, at 50, is approaching a difficult reckoning in his life: does he want to buy a castle or not?' is top tier. Astonishing.

Dumb skit I made about adult autism assessments.

It has been more than half the month, and I have received absolutely no work assignments, including from my most major client, who has never gone this long without assigning me work before. Please let me help you make closed captions while I continue looking for other work.
Too much of my life right now is at the whim of capricious, vindictive, selfish, shitty people in the twilight years of their lives who seem determined to make themselves the main characters to the bitter end. Anyway, maybe tomorrow.
is Andrew Tate not like famously an accused sex trafficker and rapist
Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

Absolutely insane messaging to write this long detailed account of all the violent horrors being inflicted on your voters and capping it off with "pls don't do anything about it"
dumb fuck with shitty cartoon av: Follow It was your job, as voters, not to elect the guy who was clearly going to do all this. You failed at that job. It was not the democrats' "job" to convince you. The democrats were job applicants. So were the republicans. Your job was to hire the better applicant. You failed spectacularly.
the funny thing about these lectures, which i would love to give this person a bullhorn to yell in minneapolis right now, is that a harris administration would have kept increasing funding for ICE despite the certainty a right wing president was eventually going to inherit it. we tied our own noose
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.
You’d have to pull off one of my limbs and threaten to beat me to death with it before I posed for this x
This headline was funnier than the entire revival series of Spitting Image they did a few year back.
