    He's also got kind of a "dad from Frasier" thing going on.

    An ageing, weary Ninja Turtle (an old friend from my childhood) sits in his favourite armchair, like a retired Colonel contemplating life at his club while nursing his lumbago. All that's missing is his newspaper and brandy.

    Graham Linehan: I'm not transphobic, I'm just trying to protect lesbian women from fellas in dresses. Lesbian women: What the hell are you talking about? Graham Linehan: Shut up you lesbians. I know more about lesbians than you lesbians do.

    After the responses didn't go the way he intended, Graham Linehan has deleted his tweet where he laughs about fascist thugs shouting abuse at Owen Jones. Seems only fair to not let the evidence of what decent people think of go in the bin.

    tumblr taking away porn, Craigslist taking away personals section, backpage being taken down, I don't think people understand that this is a direct attack on sex workers & make working even more unsafe & difficult in a system that already gives sex workers no rights protections

    like it's not all jokes about tumblr, this is the beginning of a dangerous and easily set precedent that endangers sex workers

    Probably used it to bunk off work, though. "You coming in tomorrow, Francis?" "No - what's the point?"

    I bet that Francis Fukuyama still bought a new calender every year, and wrote down appointments in his diary. Bloody hypocrite.

    And yet Sikhs, Hindus, and even the odd Italian Catholic get attacked in the streets because they're mistaken for being Muslim. Islam isn't a race? Try telling the racists that.

    Replying to @AyoCaesar @AquilMuhammad5
    Muslim is not a race, it is a religious preference.

    This really is the nub of it; the likes of the Kochs and the Mercers do openly, what they accuse the likes of George Soros of doing in secret, and worse. And keep in mind, the Kochs have veto power over what professors get hired at universities they've given funding to.

    Replying to @CaseyExplosion
    The Koch's are the "Soros" of the right wing. Except they ACTUALLY do everything the right accused Soros of doing AND they aren't an anti-Semitic dogwhistle. It's mind blowing just how many pies they have their fingers in.

    Tbh anyone who thinks that "self ID will end women's sport" needs to do a liiiiiittle more research than watching that one episode of Futurama. Looking at the consultation mentioned here would be a good start.

    In 2003/4 the government specifically consulted sporting bodies (who’ve never succeeded in determining foolproof test for gender) on whether the GRA might impede fair competition and safety. They were satisfied it wasn’t going to “end women’s sport as we know it”

    spiked is funded by the US hard right. Who could ever have guessed.

    Spiked Online just admitted getting about $300,000 in funding from the Koch brothers.

    Then a few years later with the chick and the duck, someone must have gone ‘Guys, this is the monkey all over again’.

    I’d like to have sat in on the Friends writers’ meeting when they decided they were going in the wrong direction with the monkey.

    'What makes Edge of Darkness unforgettable is the way that a persistent strangeness, a weirdness even, continually seeps into the story's cracks.' Terrific piece by on the 1985 British series EDGE OF DARKNESS, examining it as a ghost story
