I hate to point this out but marches are an incredibly bad way to get news attention.

There is some kind of march with a 10,000+ attendance in the UK literally every week (often multiple times a week) and they are not considered newsworthy ever.

I have worked for news organisation where we were accused of bias for ignoring them all the time, but we ignored them all equally.

It's probably worth considering why that is. If that many people are having an issue being heard that often... maybe your publication isn't doing it's job, or maybe that job is not what you think? Especially if you consider this happened in a city with a population of like 275k people, with %15 of the entire transgender/non-binary UK population. Is the point of the news not to tell you what is happening around you?? It would be useful information to know that 40k people are going to be in the street. Especially if I want to join them.

Maybe journalists should report on it because those numbers sound made up as hell

Not one of ree have mentioned Kamala's past. What her policies are. What she's achieved. What she wants to achieve. Who she's friendly with. Who funding her. There is absolutely nothing of any substance in any of the "politics" threads. Instead there's page after page about her race and her gender and owning racists. I guess that's what happens when you get rid of all the people who were into politics.

What are you talking about? There's something outside of race and gender in politics?

I'm in Canada and was driving this afternoon, and had this random thought that there are too many Tesla's on the road. Don't have an issue with the car but F Elon and if everyone is driving the same car that's pretty lame.

Then I looked to my left and a Tesla drove by with the license plate "TY ELON" :\

https://www.resetera.com/threads/few-democrats-willing-to-buy-a-tesla-after-elon-musk-backs-trump-investor-warns.933282/page-3?post=126158958#post-126158958

It's the opposite for me. If I'm going to be spending a fucking huge amount of money on an item I won't be using it to support a piece of shit like Elon. As someone who can actually afford a Tesla that likely means we're decently well off and able to actually vote with our wallets and make a difference.

The model 3 is a less than 40K car, do these people think that Tesla is in the luxury category exclusively?  

you bet your ass im gonna judge the fuck outta anyone buying a Tesla these days

eat my full asshole

“Comedy”

They should buy a cheap Chinese electric car instead. I hear those companies support the superior "take a carrot" approach to morality and basic human decency...

And I've unfortunately met/witness some internet chuds in real life; the worse being a screening of Ghostbusters 2016 I went to where once the credits rolled, the men a few seats next to me stood up and started SCREAMING at everyone and the screen about how much they HATED the movie, using all the chud arguments.

Still scarred after 8 years. Stay safe.

40,000 seems a hell of a stretch for that kind of march.

This is not the first time that T002 Tyrant has told porky pies to make Trans issues look more important than they are.

London Pride was a few weeks and at the top end gets supposedly gets 32,000 marching and tons of visitors its probably more realistically below that and we’re to believe a trans and non binary march does better than that? 

It is Brighton though...

I just came back from vacation from the Dominican Republic but was thinking of this place over the weekend of just how black and white it can be on topics.

On the topic of Republican = Bad

I met a bunch of pleasant Americans, while we kept politics to a minimum there was some who explained in detail that while they hate Trump they are still republicans for a bunch of seemingly valid reasons and then went on to explain in thoughtful detail why voting democrat does not make sense for them.

Republicans = bad doesn't mean all Republicans are cartoonish sociopaths. Your pleasant interactions with a tiny number of people doesn't suddenly take away their actions, what they vote for, or invalidate the opinions of people they are intentionally doing irreparable harm to. I doubt you could give any seemingly valid reasons to vote Republican that actually hold up to the tiniest bit of scrutiny. You seem to think people saying Republicans are bad don't have interactions with these people in real life.

The only valid thing said in this post.

If he wants to be truly populist to where it matters, the younger generation, how about he stop arming the genocide? These promises ring so hollow to me, even though I'm happy for everyone that gets their student/medical debt cancelled, etc.

Harris' VP is definitely gonna be a boring white guy. Only question is which one.

Shapiro is very popular and also not white — white appearing, yes, but he is Jewish. Would be a great pick.

It's only important to note that a lot of era members are faking it due to strong moderation.

I wonder if he regards that as a bad thing?  Many on Era seem to feel a it being built upon fear of being reported by others to the authorities when they have wrong thoughts is something that is a positive. 



I'm still awaiting Nepenthe's ruling on the "real," genetic make-up, ethnicity, race, etc. of Kamala so I have the correct opinion.

As far as two hearts bluesky updates, they have a new headmate named “Nanako-Chan”, they reveal that their ketamine prescription is either out or they’ve stopped taking it, and they wear adult diapers…

T002 Tyrant
40,000 people marched in Brighton's Trans and Non-Binary pride, marched for rights, marched to let people know we're here. That's double 2022's figure and 10,000 higher than last year. Yet nothing from the British press.

It just is insane the radio silence in the UK about anything positive about trans and non-binary people in the news.

And nothing from The Bire press.

 Silence is Violence

Benji, do better.

Hmmmmm, Tyrant went for a name change….interesting news, much more interesting than the pride march numbers.

I’m also not sure why they’re pearl clutching that the media didn’t report anything, who fucking cares? They had a peaceful march, nobody cares about this during pride month, it’s like reporting that water is wet

Love seeing the moderation take these wild fucking lurches.

ALL-STAFF MEMO:
ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE. 
Ban any "zionists", with prejudice.

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS ALL-STAFF MEMO:
WE ARE EXCITED FOR KAMALA. 
Ban all criticisms about her husband, her stance on Israel, and any potential Jewish running mates. Also administer a level 5 side-eye to any posters still doing the genocide joe thing. 

Anyway...

Sounds like republicans are criticizing Kamala for not having kids now, which is pretty stupid. However, some of these counterarguments on Era...

If you can't have/don't have kids, why would "having a say on children" be important to you? Are you also campaigning for a place in government?

Apparently Trump's campaign thought Biden was going to be a stubborn (from being an old white Irish guy) and stay in. They had no plan for him dropping out because they couldn't even fathom the idea of him putting his ego aside for the country

He should have known humility is a concept valued among Irish people. None of those "notions" thank you.

Biden should have got drunk and picked a fight with Trump at the debate, then.

I've had issues with increased anxiety and even suicidal thoughts on some meds.

Thankfully my only issue now is sexually. It's like once a week I gotta run maintenance on "this thing" and it feels like I nutted an actual nut or passed a stone.

Ain't nothing "thankfully" or "only" about that last side effect, holy shit.

Poor reetard doesn't even realize that they need to see a urologist. Could be pelvic floor dysfunction or worse.

I love The Boys but I have to hard disagree. Homelander is just the same evil bad guy we've seen in any number of shows or movies. Yes the way the scriptwriters have managed to map that onto the MAGA crowd is clever and very of it's time but that doesn't really come close to how the Joker was written and acted which is pretty timeless.

Ennis was a worse villain that ledgers joker.

Hey guys, I'm so concerned about genocide halfway across the world, I'm going to sit this one out so we can have a fascist take the lead and we can have our own genocide.

So what the fuck are you even saying? They did the right thing and kicked the bastard out. Now hiepefully we can get a non genocidal candidate we can support against Trump.

I would actually believe it due to the way these things are culturally contagious while simultaneously insular and demanding constant affirmation from similarly-damaged people (see portland, seattle, LA...)
