As a man who has a period & a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology, I want Jess Hilarious & those supporting her tirade to stop acting like “biology” justifies their transphobia. Y’all don’t know biology. You don’t want to go there, you aren’t qualified. My Black trans ass is though.

Since Blair - 30 years ago - people voted against mass immigration. Every election, they got up, got dressed, found a pilling station and voted to end mass immigration. 30 years they did that. Nothing changed. In fact, it got worse. So they organised marches and protests, and events and petitions and wrote to their MPs and tried every single thing they could legally, to tell the powers that be, that they wanted an end to mass immigration. The state has deliberately ignored and removed all legal options from the British and Irish people to legally, peacefully, have their demands answered. THEY, and nobody else, have created and caused division and riots and fury. The toothpaste can not go back in the tube. We are where we are because, and only because, of 30 years of failed government.

Believe it or not, this is a Costco in Texas. Absolutely disgusting.

Germans falling in love with the American South is the timeline cleanse I didn’t know I needed.

New York City is 9% Muslim and has a Muslim mayor, which scares a lot of people, most of whom don't live here. This afternoon on the train ride home (air-conditioned, thank god), I see an Arab-looking girl in a headscarf and a long, conservative dress chatting animatedly with her friend, a Chinese-American girl (New York is 15% Asian) in shorts and a tank top. As far as I can tell, neither one of them mentions Sharia or jihad; instead, they seem to be looking at pictures and arguing about which boy (I assume) looks cutest. They address each other as "bro." A Caribbean woman enters the car, chatting on her phone. She is heavyset and middle-aged, with dyed orange hair. She sits down and gets off the phone as the train leaves the station. Next stop, another middle-aged black woman, more conservatively dressed, sits down next to her. She's reading "Kin" by Tayari Jones (an Oprah Book Club recommendation). (New York is 20% black, about 1/3 of those from the Caribbean.) At the same time, a white father and daughter come in. People scrunch aside so they can sit together. He starts to read a picture book to her, but after a bit, she insists she can read on her own. He pulls out his own book. (New York is 31% non-Hispanic white.) A few stops later, a Hispanic man gets on the train with a guitar. Oh no! But it turns out he's pretty good (often not the case), I enjoy his plaintive ballads about love or something. I give him a dollar, and he says "Gracias." (New York is 29% Hispanic.) There's one annoying drunk dude, an older white guy. I assume he's drunk and not crazy or homeless because his clothes are nice and he's clutching a phone, but he seems on the verge of passing out, repeatedly bending over slowly until another lurch of the train wakes him up and he straightens. The dad with the daughter looks alert and peeved. Understandably! I get out at my stop, along with the drunk guy, but I take a different set of stairs to avoid dealing with him. Then a short walk from the station in the sweltering heat, with a brief stop at my Yemeni bodega (more Muslims!). Finally, I pass a Cuban-run barbershop with no one getting a haircut, and a couple sitting outside (the owners, I assume) listening to salsa. I get home and turn on the damn AC, safe once more from assault and/or bad serenades.

Look at the parasites run 🤣

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

Just had a conversation with Senator John Cornyn at the airport. I was very gracious & asked him to pass the SAVE America Act.
