Maybe it's fair to let to you know that if you're a transphobe and you come into my mentions, I'm probably just going to block you without responding.

@mayd @Tom_Rowsell @s8mb Usually they owned the place. For example, most towns ending -ham (homestead) just mean such-and-such's home. Like Dagenham would've been "Dæccan hamm," the home of a man called Dæcca. "-ing" is "people of," so Gillingham is home of the people (i.e. family or followers) of Gylla.

@Tom_Rowsell @s8mb Were they random or were they closely associated with the place?

Crass, unimaginative and, in the case of “Seacole”, desperate. English towns are not named after historical figures - this isn’t America.

@erichovind A Christian is the only person ever to order the use of an atomic bomb on human beings.

So true!

Having a memory is illegal in Britain. The pre-charge detention for terrorism suspects in the UK was increased from 7 days to 14 days under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. When that happened, the Conservative Party voted against it for being an overreach of the state. Tony Blair later wanted to make it 90 days, but was defeated. But now, the Labour Party will arrest old people for holding placards, label them terrorists, and the right-wing media will cheer them on.

@TheLincoln @Marc__Watkins @mavisclare I definitely have zero interest in reading something the author couldn't even be bothered to write.

@Marc__Watkins @mavisclare But the question is probably how readers will react. If readers by and large reject books with disclosed AI (outside of specific uses) then I suspect many will keep lying.

Welp. I've been expecting a scandal like this sooner rather than later nytimes.com/2026/03/19/boo…

@juliet_turner6 "danger" is a bit of a value judgement, ejaculating to death is a male bee's best-case scenario

Not sure how to feel about this😊

@jjpluska @tomieinlove [xkcd voice] "first, everything in the universe is destroyed. then it gets interesting."

@tomieinlove Wish 3, make every proton a neutron and every neutron a proton

(Monkey's Paw): I will grant you three wishes...but remember...be careful what you wish for [chuckles evilly]...you might get it. (Me): triple the price of insulin (Monkey's Paw): ha ha...you—what? (Me): wish 2, quadruple world hunger

@KMPartei The ACP isn't even communist, they're just extremely conservative Putin fans with an affected communist aesthetic

Das muss so hart gehen wenn man dumm ist

@murdo_fraser No more carol concerts

This is appalling. No more open air masses if the Pope visits? No more evangelical rallies? Charles II tried to ban conventicles and that didn’t end well. What a clown Farage is.

@GTx2021 @EPM106 And she was part of the investigation, so the issue isn't relevance. But it's still crazy to give it a dual-meaning title that symbolically identifies Sally Ride with the disaster!

@EPM106 The Challenger flew successful missions before the explosion, she was aboard for two of those.

fucking insane thing to call the movie lol

@mattforney @NateH8574 Matt have you ever heard of the Normandy Landings

@NateH8574 "Bombing your enemy into submission has a 0% success rate in history." A certain Austrian painter who lost a world war would beg to differ.

Gangster move to blow up Iran, leave, and let our useless Europoor "allies" deal with a crisis of their own making. Enjoy skyrocketing energy bills, retards!

@Dannyjokes Let's see your picture from the Oscars, Danny

Me and the boys after taking Chinese Peptides for 5 years

I assume Jack is just as punctilious about calling Munich "München", Cairo "Al-Qāhirah", and so on. Otherwise, he'd just be displaying the sort of knee-jerk parochialism that gives Welsh nationalism a bad name, and I'm sure that's not the case.

@catek72 @redditchrache Power, control, costly signalling, right-wing authoritarian identity politics

@redditchrache In fact, only tiny numbers of abortions happen after the 24 week limit and only for medical reasons. Why do you want to jeopardise the health of women by forcing them to continue with a pregnancy that could kill them?

SEX SELECTIVE ABORTION UP TO BIRTH NOW LEGAL When I was pregnant in the 90s in Solihull, West Midlands we were all told by doctors, nurses and midwives that we could not find out the sex of our child during scans, even if the professional doing the scan in an NHS clinic could see what it was on the screen. The reason was that the local Asian communities around Birmingham would abort female foetuses. This was not a right wing talking point. It was official NHS policy and discussed openly. Friends in other parts of the country without large Asian populations could have scans to find out the sex of their babies on the NHS. Now, Parliament has legalised any woman aborting a foetus up until birth for any reason. Including if it is the wrong sex. This is deeply disturbing, very very sad and totally against British values. In fact only tiny numbers of the population support this. All those Labour MPs and peers who voted for this should be ashamed. The left are always trying to foist this on us under the spin of it being "pro woman" and "pro choice". There is nothing pro woman about this. And there is certainly no consideration at all for the unborn child. I support abortion rights up until the current limit which is already very liberal compared to other countries. It makes me personally uncomfortable but I do accept it is important to have the choice for women, and I would not want to see that rolled back. But what the Lords voted for last night is morally reprehensible and utterly wrong. I voted against it but there were not enough of us.

@flying_rodent And Christmas carolling

Bye bye Orange walks

@theweeflea @HumzaYousaf @JohnCleese Just say you haven't read it and you don't understand it. Even your very first example is not about "unbelievers," it's about self-defence against people who attacking you. It'd be very easy to misuse Bible quotes this way, and you would rightly call anyone who did so dishonest.

@HumzaYousaf @HumzaYousaf @JohnCleese Humza - are you saying the Quran is wrong. Do you disavow these verses as 'Satanic verses'? Or do you affirm them as a good Muslim? Can you go back to telling the truth please?

John, you made a career mocking the ignorant. It's sad to see you now joining their ranks. Islam does not teach Muslims to kill all non-Muslims. In fact, the Quran explicitly commands kindness and justice towards those of other faiths. Can you go back to being funny please?

@CmnSensCrusader @AutisticClip You people truly are the most gullible rubes on the planet

@AutisticClip Muslims can rape little girls without punishment But if you dare offend a feminist youd be jailed The question is why dont feminists get mad at the fact hundreds of thousands of british girls are humiliated, beaten & raped by muslims?

ClavicuIar finds out you can get arrested for saying “foid” in the UK “What a f*cking joke of a country.”

@GianmarcoSoresi You owe me compensation for exposing me to this

This is why casting directors are so important

@Peter_Hopton @RosaZambonini I think you have enough information now to understand this situation without my assistance.

@garydunion @RosaZambonini So she’s using a picture of her having a stroke to have go at Sarwar? and her hardly ever on X too……..

Heres my face after having a stroke nine years ago. The most terrifying time of my life. Sometimes when Im tired you can still see it. It was crap. Some politicians are crap. We must do better

@Peter_Hopton @RosaZambonini You asked for the relevance of Rosa's stroke was to her comment about politician conduct. The relevance is only apparent in the context of these events, which Rosa did not explicitly describe. So no, I wasn't making a point, I was just providing you with the answer you requested.

@garydunion @RosaZambonini Got a point Gary?

@LeeAndersonMP_ All words are made up Lee

Islamaphobia ! There is no such thing. Its a made up word often used by Labour politicians to help keep their safe city seats. Newsflash - The Greens are on to you.
