  Don’t buy BrewDog beer. Got it.

  Makes you wonder how much the rise of conservative evangelical Christianity and megachurches has to do with sheer social desperation.

  Maybe US cities lack public spaces and no one can afford to do things in the private spaces?

  The worrying development is that he’s starting to pump serious money into far-right politics in Europe. Nigel Farage should not still be a thing, but he’s going to be the best-funded politician in the UK, and quite possibly Britain’s Trump once Keir Starmer’s government out-Tories the Tories in uselessness and unpopularity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s across UK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s hope that allows many kids access to the care they need. If there’s a real concern about the safety of puberty blockers, then clinical trials are exactly what’s needed to find out. I’m not entirely convinced this is really due to medical concern though. It smells like Labour trying to out-bigot the Conservatives, just to prove they’re not lefties any more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s across UK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think allowing a child to make a decision that may impact them for the rest of their lives is a grey area to say the least.

  1. It’s not a child making the decision. It’s typically adults making the decision for the sake of the child, and based on the child’s needs.

  2. Deciding to go ahead with puberty is also a decision that impacts a child for the rest of their life. In cases of gender dysmorphia this can cause psychological trauma that won’t just clear up, and prolong the agony by forcing the person to live into adulthood with a body that feels deeply wrong. At this point, transitioning can be more difficult because the body may already have taken on pronounced characteristics associated with the wrong gender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember when Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek, said that it essentially cost nothing to produce “content”? Then he tried to walk it back when people pointed out what it said about his attitude to musicians who dedicate their whole lives to making music at great cost to themselves.

  Spotify’s CEO got roasted by artists after he said the cost of creating content is ‘close to zero.’ Now he’s trying to walk back his ‘clumsy’ remark

  This word “content” needs to die. It conflates art with crap, because execs see both in terms of dollars and are too ignorant and incurious to tell the difference.

  If they can keep a bit of money for themselves by not doing this, they will not do this. For the people who run corporations the emphasis in “human resources” is on resources. You are to be mined for value until it is no longer profitable to do so.
