@metpoliceuk @TRobinsonNewEra The proper way to handle people who walk around and stab others is quite simple. You shoot them dead. Do your officers not even have a handgun? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is the moment the terrorist is taken down after stabbing two Jewish people in Golders Green.
This is England 2026.
Union Flag flying proudly by British Jews as an invader scum who likely hates everything British, attacks them!
Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧@TRobinsonNewEra
CCTV shows the moment a terrorist starts his attack in Golders Green, stabbing the first Jewish victim in the throat several times. Horrific!

Yes, the people who call themselves 'trans' exist and they deserve exactly the same rights as everyone else, which, fortunately, they already have in the UK. It would rightly be considered discrimination if a person was refused employment, housing or the vote because they identified as trans.
'Trans women are women' is a thought-terminating cliché. Men are not women. That doesn't mean they're not allowed to present themselves however they like, call themselves whatever they like and believe whatever they like about themselves. It means they haven't changed sex.
If we replace the objective, observable characteristic of sex with the unfalsifiable concept of gender identify, women and girls lose, among other things, their right to fair and safe sport and women-only spaces, including changing rooms, prison cells and rape crisis services.
Women and girls are provably more vulnerable to forms of abuse including sexual assault, harassment and voyeurism in mixed-sex spaces. There is no evidence that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same rates of criminal offending as all other men.
Trans people exist. I have no desire for them not to exist; indeed, I wish them safety, happiness and health. However, 'existence' does not, and should not, mean the violation of other people's right to privacy, dignity and freedom of speech, or the reconfiguration of society to indulge a fallacy.

what are some recent fantasy novels people have enjoyed that aren’t bookbricks?

@generallysucks @TheAlexSylvian I thoroughly enjoyed Gardens which is why I read the next one. It gets blown out of the water by the grandeur of the rest of the series but is still worth reading in its own.

@TheAlexSylvian Everyone always tells me to just suffer through the first book and I’m simply not going to do that

those malazan books better be good as hell if I'm going to commit to a ten book series

Busco un nombre de niña ridículamente antiguo. Piensa en un nombre de bisabuela.
Muy antiguo y raro.

@wife_geist Yeah. The contraction trends of the 1800s give us a lot of weird terms today, e.g. Soccer.

wait is “varsity” short for “uni-varsity”? because if so fuck off

@sttrangecacti When I rewatched a few years ago I started with S4 for this exact reason.

smallville, the main character doesn't show up until season 4
Iden@EdonTWT
are there any series where the main character is introduced much later in the show

@achillghost Sometimes it is a complete sentence.

@achillghost "Quite" has about 4 distinct meanings for Brits largely determined by intonation.
English
The different meaning of “quite” in American vs British English is also upsetting
grayfruit@thegrayfruit
just learned about this regional difference in definitions for the word "nonplussed" and it kinda ruined my day. the way we use it in america is basically an antonym to how it's used anywhere else. why are we like this?

@LucGrefte He'll probably complete that achievement in the first half of 2026

@shelovesore "The third day" is not "three days later"

I’m sorry, genuinely asking but i thought Jesus died on a Friday afternoon. Going by that and the fact that he resurrected 3 days after, aren’t we meant to be celebrating Easter on Monday and not Sunday?

@shalmanese @aedison Are they not..... the same guy???
English
@aedison Should always clarify which David Mitchell: the Cloud Atlas guy or Peep Show guy.
English
“I wouldn’t have predicted David Mitchell’s personal politics curdling as he became ever more famous until suddenly he was our Roger Allam in V For Vendetta. But you know what? Considering they make us watch it, he’s quite witty isn’t? Always was very witty. Oh—stand for anthem.”

If only there was some political movement that had been questioning the conflation of femaleness with femininity and maleness with masculinity since forever

The day you are born , they assign you a gender that dictates your whole Life. Your name, your identity, your rights, the colour you shall like, the clothes you will wear, the way you must behave, the way you sit, talk, smile, laugh, cry and you expect me to never question it?

Fun fact: Lucas liked The Last Jedi, unlike the installments that Abrams directed. The reason is simple, and revealed here—he wanted something new. Further, the crap that the worst and most negative fans pile on Rian Johnson for Luke Skywalker's arc? That was heavily based on Lucas's own original ideas—a broken Luke in self-imposed exile, haunted by a betrayal of a student, cut off from the Force, and acting as a mentor to a young female protagonist only reluctantly.
Hottest of takes here, but Rian Johnson was simply one of the best directors we ever had on a mainline Star Wars installment, and the fandom is full of childish idiots that should have been ignored. He has the originality of Lucas, respected his vision, and is innovative and the master of his craft. He managed to get more emotion out of the actors for Rey, Kylo, and Luke than Abrams ever did, and his special effects were interesting and spectacular. The throne room scene in particular was truly great.
That more people do not appreciate what Johnson did is because they are philistines. He should have been allowed to direct and write all three installments. Somewhere in an alternative universe, people there got to enjoy a sequel trilogy that wasn't childish and derivative trash. I'm jealous.

Bob Iger on George Lucas' disappointment after seeing The Force Awakens: "He didn’t hide his disappointment. ‘There’s nothing new,’ he said. In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to him to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, ‘There weren’t enough visual or technical leaps forward.’ He wasn’t wrong, but he also wasn’t appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We’d intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do." Was George right in his criticism?

he’s won a lot, from grand tours to world championships, but milan-san remo for me is one of tadej pogačar’s finest victories. to force yourself into contention at a sprinter-favouring race, lose and lose again, crash before the cipressa and then finally win in some style. wow.

Mads Pedersen will line up at Milano-Sanremo this weekend after recovering from a wrist fracture sustained earlier this season, with the Lidl-Trek rider cleared to race following a series of medical checks.
