I like to think that Shady is what he calls himself in his head, and Marshall is merely the persona he affects in his day-to-day. Like Batman.

As far as I'm concerned, that's the opposite of bad riddance.

It wasn't the media's fault that Burnham basically up and said "I agree with everything Labour has done under Starmer".

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Ben Gvir will ever experience hell in a cell.

Hello! I'm not the person you asked but I figured I'd throw in my experience.

In my case, if I could snap my fingers and instantly change my penis to a vulva, I would. But I had a haemorroid surgery many years ago, and the month or so afterwards was one of the worst times of my life, so I would prefer it if no surgeon ever went anywhere near my lower trunk ever again.

But everyone's experience is different. Some women just like to fuck, and of the trans women who do, some don't feel the need to replace the factory installed equipment for doing so.

Aquaplaning, also.

Anyone who is advocating for "remigration" is advocating for the use of violence to remove racial minorities.

If you are a pacifist and you don't believe in violence in any circumstance, then fine. But if ever there is a time to use violence in defence of ourselves and the vulnerable in our society, I believe it's now, before the state is captured by fascists. I think that if we had another Battle of Cable Street instead of a counter-protest at the next few "Unite the Kingdom" rallies (or whatever they call them these days) then we'd sort this shit out real fast.

I dunno, Celsius 233 has a bit of a ring to it, too.

But I have been reliably informed that weed is known to give a brother brain damage?

There is beauty to be found in an algal bloom, just as there is beauty to be found in hyenas eating an antelope alive. /hj

Sure, but have you considered sinkholes?

Half joking.

But could you get away?

I think it's half joking rather than completely sarcastic because I genuinely do think that you could look at a pond full of algal bloom and find beauty in it, but at the same time I would definitely agree that it's not what you want in a "reflecting pool".

Half joking.

The rule of three and “it’s not x, it’s y” might not be how humans typically speak, but it is how humans write. Some of us have even been known to use the Oxford comma. That's why AI reproduces it.

(Seriously, you should use the Oxford comma. That shit decides legal cases.)

"It’s the silence in your chest where the certainty used to be" does sound like AI bullshit, though.

I also think Java is shit, but if you manage to get a NullPointerException while writing a hello world program, maybe anon is just not cut out for computers?

Reminder: "separating the art from the artist" is an approach to engaging with an artwork, and is a separate question from whether or not you should engage with an artwork when doing so has real life consequences.

Whether or not you should consume HP Lovecraft media despite the fact he was a racist is entirely up to you because he is long dead. He doesn't make any money. He isn't even racist any more. Because he's dead.

When you consider whether or not you consume Harry Potter media, you must consider that JK Rowling will make money and will donate that money to anti-trans groups. If you still go on to buy licensed merch, or pay a streaming service to watch it, you will literally be helping to propogate transphobia. Continue to enjoy anything you currently own if you want. That is where separating the art from the artist comes into it. But if you still actively promote the material online and thereby increase the demand for it; again, transphobia, arguably.

Non-UK people should read up about Laurence Fox if they want a good laugh.

Some career highlights:

• Destroyed his acting career and his marriage by being an upper class right wing shit.
• Destroyed his subsequent gig as a right wing pundit on GB News by being too misogynist on air.
• Called some drag queens paedophiles after they called him racist. He was sued for defamation and he countersued. He lost on both counts.
• Stood for election as an MP and lost his deposit.
• Stood for election as London Mayor and lost his deposit.
• Tried to stand for election as London Mayor a second time and didn't get on the ballot because he didn't fill in the paperwork correctly
• Stood for election to the London Assembly and lost his deposit.

And I do my best to leave low effort shitpost comments!
