Shall we arrest Trump for doing all the crimes?
Yes. Letโs arrest Trump for doing all the crimes.
(They do not arrest Trump for doing all the crimes)
If I had as much money as Rowling I would be living on a super yacht anchored somewhere in Greece and you would likely hardly ever hear from me, not ranting about the trans on Twitter.
Makes u think.

Dear gods. RyanAir Stansted to Faro, the Friday night late flight. Sitting in row 1 so getting to see how the crew do deescalation (very very well actually).
If this was the US, where deescalation seems to be alien to the national psyche, itโd have been diverted to somewhere in Normandy with a bunch of people in zip ties and met by a SWAT team. As it was, it landed in Faro without incident and everyone continued on.
RyanAir have a reputation as a decent employer compared to many, AIUI, but these guys are not paid enough.
Other perk of sitting in row 1: if youโre not part of the โyay hay pissheads!โ crowd, the crew end up chatting to you in quieter times, and theyโre fun to talk to.

Yup. And you used the marline spike, or marline spike, to work it. Then contraction happened and it became โmarlinspikeโ.
But yes, it is indeed named after Marl Line, and the fish appears to be named after the tool.
Too many people think transphobes can be reasoned with. If only they could be made to understand.
But lots of them do understand. The thing that is missing is not your magic powers of explanation.
Transphobes do not need to be persuaded.
Transphobes need to be frightened.

โWhat can we do to make trans people feel welcomed in our party?โ
Why do UK parties keep asking this question? Itโs already been answered. They know what they need to do. They just wonโt do it.

Aside: one of the great things about Fedi is how itโs basically safe to point out the obvious similarities between having TERFs in your organisation and having fucking genital crabs.
Couldnโt do that on Elonโs hard right shite site.
Followup to the thing where TERFs had succeeded in getting a debate to remove recognition of non binary people from the UK Lib Dem consitirituon: excellent LGBT+ activists organised to โmove next businessโ when it came up (which is basically, โthis is so shit we arenโt even discussing itโ).
It worked. I also understand that the TERFs got booed when they tried to oppose.
They are busy crying on the legacy social media platforms where they are tolerated.
Good. Cry more, bastards.

The Who: The Boomers
Me: Oh, the generation that revived Nazism as a mainstream political force?
The Who: Um, er, that might be a minority
Me: And you personally, Mr Daltrey, you voted for Brexit and are currently busy on the wrong side of the โwar on wokeโ, arenโt you?
Daltrey: WOKE BASTARDS! DESTROYING ALL THAT IS GOOD AND PURE! BLOODY FOREIGNERS! RULE BRITANIA!

r/ukpol is on a โwhat would you do if you got wealthyโ thing, and one of them is โnever use RyanAir againโ.
Theyโd likely be shocked if they knew how many millionaires regularly fly RyanAir.

@ajlanes i have found that i usually book early enough to get a seat at the front of the plane, nice, and i pay for the fast track, breezy, and i have learned how to get immigration fast track when i return via stansted too, which sadly i have to get separately, but all in all it isnt that bad
and i gather ryanair treated their employees better than most through the panini, so ๐คท could be worse
could be better but not everywhere is reachable by train
I always get fasttrack for Stansted departures. for arrivals, I find it less of an issue.
Iโll book 1C if itโs available. Their green chicken curry is not terrible and itโs gluten free, which I need.
Iโve got the routine down now. My record for arriving at Faro is 4 minutes from fan stop to carpark.

Muse: Them ... they are ... degrading us
Me: How are the bad people degrading you? Show me on the dolly what they made you do that you didn't want to...
Muse: Um...
Me: It's paying taxes, isn't it? They asked for a tax return, didn't they?
Muse: EXACTLY! Those bastards!
The thing that so utterly pains me about the state of humanity is that your Donald Trumps, Boris Johnsons, Marine LePens, Silvio Berlusconis, Andrรฉ Venturas, and all such are painfully obvious bullshit merchants.
And people still buy what theyโre selling.

I think part of the reason is an assumption that all politicians are lying assholes, so you may as well back the one who's appealing to you and promising to upset the current order that you don't feel invested in.
I don't think they have any illusions about the character of these people, they just don't care.

At their spring conference this weekend, the UK #LiberalDemocrats are debating removing recognition of non binary people from their constitution.
If you have a Lib Dem MP, or councillor, you might want to let them know how you feel about this.

Portugal has a tankie communist party (PCP) and a vaguely Trumpian far right party (Chega! - Enough!)
And I feel like it must get terribly confusing while theyโre both in the same queue to give Putin a blowjob.
@Miguel Arroz Yeah. I fixed the typo but edits then have to refederate.
PCP kinda fucked what support they had left going full tankie over Ukraine.
@arroz@mastodon.social Also Chega insist on advertising their local candidates on billboards outside schools here in Lagos and then get indignant when the kids deface them with swastikas.
The kids are alright.

Since I was a kid, I have had occasional outbreaks of eczema in my ear canals. It baffled ENT for years: they had no idea why the โinfectionโ wouldnโt respond to anything they tried (they never tried corticosteroids).
Anyway, itโs doing it again, and it HURTS LIKE FUCK.
(I had to figure out if was eczema myself. No medical professional has ever done anything other than give me stuff to treat an ear infection, which I donโt have, and so never works).
