"I've been thinking a lot about it"

[Uncle]

rest of the tweet

🤯 Listen to this extraordinary exchange between Camilla Tominey and Labour’s Health Secretary James Murray. It is genuinely jaw-dropping.

Camilla: “You’re quite pro-trans, aren’t you? Do you think a woman can have a penis? Because you did previously?”

Murray: “No, I don’t.”

Camilla: “So you’ve changed your mind?”

Murray: “Yes.”

Camilla: “Why?”

Murray stumbles. He says he’s been thinking about the issue over recent years and would not now say trans women are women.

Camilla hits back: “You must have known that before. You are very well educated. How on earth can you have previously thought that a woman can have a penis?”

He had no real answer. Because there isn’t one.

This is not some backbench MP. This is the Secretary of State for Health, the man responsible for the entire NHS, puberty blocker policy, women’s health services, and child safeguarding.

He spent years either believing or pretending to believe that biological sex is fluid and that women can have penises. Only now, when the Cass Review, court rulings, and public opinion have made that position politically toxic, has he magically “changed his mind”.

Think about the damage done while he held that view. The eroded women’s rights. The confused children fast-tracked toward hormones and surgery. The female prisoners and athletes forced to share spaces with biological males. All enabled or ignored by senior Labour figures like him.

This level of ideological delusion at the very top of government is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Basic biology should never have been up for debate, let alone something a Health Secretary had to “evolve” on.

Right: Dumbass Mamdani sits on the wrong side of the desk!

Left: He intentionally sits on the wrong side of the desk!



Meanwhile in reality the desk has drawers on both sides. Centrists keep winning

At this point I'm convinced that each generation desperately wants to have a Tan Suit moment.

Not to call it out, but to be the one who creates the fake controversy in the first place.

Sydney GAY AND LESBIAN Mardi Gras

Trans: "This should be all about me."

Saturday’s vote followed a contentious annual meeting in November, when members voted to pass a resolution to encourage all Mardi Gras “parade participants to make support for transgender rights a key part of their float”.

The board decided against implementing members’ wishes because it “sought to impose creative direction on parade participants in a way that is inconsistent with our established application process”, among other reasons.

Completely fair.

Pride in Protest, in response, accused the organisation of being transphobic and put the resolution to a vote once again on Saturday.

Of course they did.

In February, Pride in Protest’s float was kicked out of the Mardi Gras parade, less than 24 hours before the event, after claiming that a Jewish float supported genocide.

The woman who accused Platner of rape almost didn't come forward because she likes his politics

They should name names. Not because I care about any "antisemitism" regarding this but I need to know which House member is that dumb.

There's a lot of idiots on this thing though, so many possibilities: https://www.legistorm.com/organization/summary/122796/House_Bipartisan_Task_Force_for_Combating_Anti_Semitism.html

Feels like an Eleanor Holmes Norton statement.

Everyone continues being very normal about football 

[benji]

I like how there's never any question that the President of Argentina just made his team win on Israel's orders? Or something? I'm not exactly sure what this conspiracy is supposed to be. The end is just standard ref whining from losing fans.

WELL ACTUALLY BENJAMIN

The argies and Fifa have fixed an entire world cup before (the one they hosted), and they had a lot of help in the last one too tbf

Numerous results at numerous world cups have later been revealed to have been fixed by players, teams or refs

It's like the indians and man united, or Jeff and gamer girls. They're just fanboys trying to help one of the most corrupt FAs.

As much as I love football, international football has been corrupt from the jump. One of the good things about football versus other sports is that sometimes the fix doesn't matter cos the other team are too good. There are loads of books about different elements of match fixing and tournament fixing in football but the public acts like it just doesn't happen. That's before you even get into things like the selective application of rules, financial rules, suspensions, who can buy a club, who gets deducted points, player ownership, bungs and bribes.

It won't have anything to do with israel though tbf

More like Dumbass Report, am I right?

[DavidCroquet]

Have they not followed the Tara Reade situation like...at all, since the allegations originally came out? Aren't these supposed to be informed political commentators?

Anyway I always think of this fucking guy (Nathan J Robinson) whenever Tara Reade comes up, so here's an image. The tiffany lamp and the rotary phone make me laugh.

It angers me so much I can barely sleep at night.
But joke's on her, Haaland's obviously a MtF transbian. The communist Left wins again.

EDIT: Misread the post as you haven't followed Reade's situation, so you're probably already aware of this.

She flew to Russia where she was greeted by none other than Maria Butina and was granted political asylum



Sometimes I pity Russia for having to put on these dog and pony shows for the most bottom of the barrel western "celebrities"/"dissidents". Have some self-respect god dammit.

I am just a random young American woman with no skin in any game but I wanted to tell you that you live rent-free in my head.  I think about you way too often and talk about you with friends who're sick of hearing about this topic.  You are one of the most transparent and embarrassing people I have ever come across and, as an empath, that transparency and shamelessness cut right to my core.  Back in the day I had a small group of fellow Readers on Twitter but we disbanded long ago, and in 2026 I no longer have any outlet for my myriad and complex thoughts about your character, and I'm thus compelled to share them here, with you...

Tara's latest youtube video (about UFOs) has 27 views.

The inescapable urge to turn every sports event into a race war. Left, Right, they both love it.

Factually Incorrect

[Potato]

In today's least surprising news, young people, raised on a diet of social media outage and political advocacy dressed up as education, claim to be more interested and knowledgeable about indigenous history while having less actual knowledge of that history than older people.

https://theconversation.com/younger-australians-show-greater-interest-in-indigenous-histories-but-know-less-about-them-new-research-286958

Younger Australians aged 18–39 proved more interested in and felt more knowledgeable about Indigenous histories. In fact, Indigenous history was the leading area of interest and knowledge for these age groups.

Around 40% of younger Australians were most interested in Indigenous history. By contrast, one-quarter or less of those aged 50 or over said they were interested in Indigenous history.

The difference was even starker when it came to levels of claimed knowledge. Around one-third (34%) of those aged 18–29 said they knew most about Indigenous history, but this dropped to 13% of those aged 50–59, and only 6% for those aged 70 or over.

More to the story

These findings demonstrate a clear generational divide. However, other results in the survey indicate that the gap in knowledge between younger and older Australians may not be all that it seems.

When asked to indicate whether they were aware of seven specific events in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, only three received majority recognition from respondents overall.

The remaining four received minority recognition, with around 1 in 10 Australians saying they were unaware of any of the listed events.

Again, age proved the key factor in determining awareness of these events, but here the trend reversed. While younger Australians claimed greater knowledge of Indigenous history, they ranked lowest on these key events.

In general, awareness levels trended upwards with age. The exception is the Frontier Wars, for which there was minimal difference between the youngest and oldest cohorts (35% versus 39%).

No listed event received majority recognition from those aged 18–29, though the Rudd government’s apology to the Stolen Generations came close with 48% recognition.

By contrast, more than 70% of those aged 70 or over said they were aware of most events. The exception was the Howard government’s denial of the Stolen Generations, which received 58% recognition.

Maybe if they spent less time bleating about imaginary genocides online and more time learning about the actual history, we might get somewhere. Until then, nothing will change.

Yup and it's sometimes as simple as players like Ronaldo, Mbappe and Messi bringing in more viewers and $$$ than Croatia or Egypt.
Most players don't give a damn about the national team winning either because their bread and butter is whatever high level competition they are in.
