The British public: I can ignore mass sleaze, corruption, homophobia, sexism, blaming the victims of Grenfell tower, letting migrants drown and then criminalising lifeboats forming trying to save them, criminalising basically any form of political protest by banning any “annoying protests”, constant breaking of own COVID rules, not taking action against the systematic and violent misogyny in the police force, mismanaging the pandemic so that the country had the worst death count in Europe, the prime minister saying “let the bodies pile up in their thousands”, a terrible brexit deal, caring more about statues than BLM protesters, consistently voting to starve children, profiting of Saudi Arabia’s war crimes in Yemen, constant breaking of international law, lying to illegally pirogue parliament, still illegally occupying the Chagos islands, tax evasion, the foreign secretary holidaying while hundreds die in Afghanistan, literal eugenics from a political advisor, breaking international human rights laws with a bill that enables the government to revoke the right of Citizenship of immigrants arbitrarily but I draw the line at having an office party when I wasn’t allowed to.
it’s very inch resting to me that mainstream british media is trying soooo hard to make us feel sorry for cops when theyre the ones quite literally out there assaulting and murdering women and disrupting vigils and turning protests violent. fucking choke
Lisa Anne Auerbach - Take This Knitting Machine and Shove It
There was a shooting in the UK last night, the first once for a pretty long time - five people were shot dead, including a five year old girl, before the shooter turned the gun on himself.
The BBC is trying so hard to turn this into a discussion about the shooter's mental health. I already knew the BBC was a shit show but this genuinely disgusts me. The shooter was a white man in his early 20s and a self identified incel. If the shooter was a person of colour, no one would be making excuses for them and you can guarantee this would be called an act of terrorism, but because the shooter is white, every news outlet is acting as if he's some poor victim who shouldn't be held accountable for his actions.
He murdered innocent people. He murdered a child.
The white privilege and bias in the media isn't surprising, but it's still absolutely disgusting. Fuck the BBC and every other news site for trying to make people pity a literal murderer. Even if he did have mental health issues, that isn't a fucking excuse to kill people. Stop shielding him from his actions just because he's white.
Me: wow I love the pacifist themes of Doctor Who and how the Doctor tries their hardest to be kind and resolve conflict across time and space by talking about the root cause of problems and encouraging compromise
The Doctor: I gave you a chance and you were too stupid to take it, so now I’m gonna have to murder you and your entire species
also me:
couldn’t stop thinking about this post
Huh. So another W from Macklemore.

Batman: You're not Robin.
Cosplayer very much terrified, who hadn't had the courage to tell who he was when a 6'0ft tall man dressed as a bat dragged him into the batmobile:
