My cousin's gay and he's been called a homophobe for some of the things he's said because he doesn't fall in with the alaphbet soup twitter crowd. I think some of the extremest do alot more harm than good.
(Regarding the Asher's case, he said "I know I should boycott them, being a fruit and all, but I love their sausage rolls too much").

Kinda looking forward to seeing Hogwarts Legacy smash up the charts and record books.

Great little story about the US liberal intolerance of anyone's religious convictions. All bow before the ever expanding acronym

Found out through this (maybe I knew but had forgotten?) that rt.com is now fully blocked in France, had to switch to VPN to see this.


Says it's not secure for me rather than blocked but I can't open it.

They don't tell you sites are blocked in transparent language, that would be too honest.

For fear we knew what was going or had an independent thought.

Verbatim 'prejudice of any kind against taxi drivers is unacceptable'.

You couldn't make it up, so ridiculous.

'Cameraperson'. Watching that documentary about the homeless hitchiker killer guy and two (so far) cameramen are credited as such. 'Player of the match', that's another one. Jesus.

It's official- we are dinosaurs and the world is leaving us behind.

I was watching Celtic v Morton and the female co commentator (on BBC!) said man of the match. Fair play to her, she'll probably get sacked though.

Player of the match just doesn't have the same ring to it at all. Pointless anyway as it's not a mixed sport yet.

What is the cunts call linesman now? Refs assistant? Why?

Well some of them are women. They've been calling them refs assistants since before that though so I reckon the idea behind the name change was something else, like to try make them feel more important in the hope it would instill competence in them or something along those lines

If sports would be mixed, there would be only men playing, at least when it comes to the top games/matches. OK, females might have a chance in knitting.

Anyone get a look at the mixed doubles final in the knitting championship this year?
