So. I wrote a book about modern fascism as a backlash to LGBTQ rights and women’s liberation. It breaks down why this happened, how we fight the new misogyny, and how we win.  You might find it useful.  amazon.com/Sexual-Revolution…

this was already true before LLMs but at this point you really should not think of social media as a place where individual people go to express their opinions. the algorithm defines an optimization target (engagement) and people and LLMs work together to optimize it. we have built a machine for inferring what the audiences of different platforms want to see and hear and extruding textslop and imageslop and videoslop conforming to the shape of that desire as quickly and efficiently as possible when you read a viral post you think you are reading the thoughts of a person. you are reading the thoughts of the algorithm. out of the churning mass of nonsense constantly being posted, that specific post was selected to ascend to virality by an evolutionary process, and that process is the actual agent in the situation. the individual author barely matters, we are simply approximating the infinite monkey theorem here. at this point it barely even matters whether the author was technically human or an LLM, LLMs are just an additional source of monkeys

Seems important to remember she disowned him, not the other way around. She gave up perhaps the largest inheritance in human history because that's how important it is to be yourself

To judge every member of a community on the basis of a crime committed by one member of that community is, of course, the very definition of prejudice.

After the #Arsenal victory parade, the hundreds of thousands of fans have trashed our neighborhood. Streets full of rubbish, urine and vomit. Genuinely glad everyone had a good time- and now Arsenal FC needs to organise and fund the cleanup. It’s the right thing to do. RT pls.

If someone makes up a term to describe you and attacks you on that basis, surely you’re allowed to ask what they mean by it?

But what *is* the ‘woke intellectual tradition’? What do you think ‘woke people’ mean by ‘equality’?

A love letter to #theboys, a show which never rose above, always went too far and left nothing on the table. RIP to the greatest TV adaptation this tv writer has ever seen. reactormag.com/the-boys-was-…

In other countries, like Spain, they do not have an obsessive national conversation about trans people, a tiny marginalised minority. Instead, they focus on dealing with the primary sources of male violence against women and girls - male partners, male relatives, and so on.

The anti-trans movement are never going to be satisfied. They’ve succeeded in turning the UK into a hostile environment for trans people. That’s not enough, because nothing will ever be enough. Here they’re seeking to public humiliate - and turn into a target - an employee doing his job. The complaint? That there are self-enclosed changing rooms. She claims that this forces women and girls to change in front of men, which is an insane lie. Eventually this insanity will fall apart, because it is insanity. But a cult has been given impunity by our media and political elites, and it will continue to spiral out of control like this.

HAHAHAHAH. He's posting. MULTIPLE TIMES. Also I have notes on his joke writing. #TheBoys @TheBoysTV

Women don’t owe the world children. They don’t owe men babies. And they don’t owe you an explanation.

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

‘It was apparentlyinconceivable that violence against women could constitute a crisis – unless, of course, the violence was blamed on immigrants or on transgender people, at which point women’s safety suddenly shot to the top of the political agenda.’ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Fantastic news.

May I take this opportunity to congratulate all the anti-wokers for winning their precious little culture war. Well done, guys, hope the liberal tears were worth it.

"[It's not] still fashionable to bash JK Rowling" is such a fascinating admission here. The right-wing elite truly cannot conceive of doing things simply because they are morally right and not as some insipid fashion statement. Their world revolves around "What's in it for me?"

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

"Enjoy the blowjob, but REFLECT on it" is taking up resid3nce in my brain, I fear
