I think this was supposed to be a glowing obit about what a swell guy Harry Belafonte was, but it reads way differently than intended. Dude glowed alright. Holy crap.

Otherwise, the only thing that's changed since his activist days is his ilk no longer tap dance around tossing out an uncle Tom reference as a pejorative.

He acted as a liaison between the civil rights movement and Hollywood, speaking out about the racism he said he had experienced. 

Belafonte also used his fame to promote the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa and famine relief through the recording of the song 'We Are the World' and concerts in 1985.

Years later, Belafonte criticized the George W. Bush administration and compared Colin Powell, the first Black secretary of state, to a slave 'permitted to come into the house of the master.'

Transtifa's getting increasingly aggressive with their threats towards the frontline detrans and desisters in attempt to silence their voices, so please keep Keep P, her mom, and all the frontline detrans and desisters in your prayers. 🙏🏼

I'm sure this is but one of many predatory groomers masquerading as therapists for kids.

Note the handle, too; quirky queer so we know queer pedagogy is being pimped under the guise of therapy by someone who's quirky.

Recognize their language so its weaponization fails. And keep these freaks far away from schools and your loved ones. 🤬

So yeah, EM's gonna be on Maher tonight. Ugh. I loathe Maher but already set a reminder.. 🍿🍿🍿🔥

This one's still blowing my mind. I've been saying for months that the crap with The Tavi's GIDS center closing was nonsense because they're just re-opening piles of small community clinics with all the same NHS and Tavi faculty.

So that The Telegraph is just now pointing it out along with this bit about the Tavi needing to provide docs to the court by this Friday? It has a feeling of shid rolling uphill. It's nice. 🖕😊

It comes after concerns were raised within the Trust that the release of information under FOI laws was effectively being blocked because of the “potential reputational impact”.

The trans clinic is due to close after concerns were raised about its treatment and an independent review found that it was “not a safe and viable option”.

It has since emerged that staff from the controversial clinic will be involved in setting up and training staff at the new regional centres which will replace it. The Tavistock was originally ordered to close this spring but is still operating.

The older I get, the less and less I like Carlin, that said - this piece is as relevant today as it ever was.

I’ve thrown my little touches on this, of course. Enjoy!

(BE WARNED: The language in this one is quite rough.)

While Australia's attempted flex via global censorship machinations is reprehensible, the 🪃 response was perfect. 🤭👀

Speaking to The Publica, Reduxx EIC Anna Slatz expressed amusement over the notice.

“What are they going to do? Throw a boomerang at me? I am in Canada.” Slatz said. “Jokes aside, it is concerning that the government of Australia apparently has a dedicated arm to policing mean speech on the internet on a global scale.

After I received the email, I was so incredulous that I looked up the Commissioner to make sure it was real, and ended up spending an hour in total awe of the fact they actually had an ‘adult cyber abuse’ division.”

And this dude? This is the dude Australia's worried about his feels being hurt over complaints. About him. Then there are the very valid questions below; so, wtaf's goin on, Australia? 🤡🌎🤨

“Football NSW has failed to answer the simple questions, ‘What is a woman?’ and ‘Why have a woman’s division if men can play in it.’ They have failed in safeguarding fairness and safety for girls and women.”

I'm glad she's (FTM) happy with the remodel but the insufferable smarm? Neither the equipment or passability matters if that smarm isn't brought under control. And, if that other thing goes plunk onto the floor at dinner? Date's prolly over. 🤭

Great watch... And still relevant!

In an update on yesterday's crybaby football dude, this has gotta be the worst way to learn that giving up the 2A means there's no 1A, either. Good luck, Australia.

Police visited Smith on March 30 and handed her an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) requiring that she does not discuss or approach Dennis – despite the fact that Smith lives over 200 miles from Dennis. The AVO acts as an interim order that will stand until a hearing later this month, at which point the court will decide whether it is justified.

Pornhub and kids. Erry time. They make the right noises while their actions remain predatory. That place needs out of businessed next, right after Vice. 🤬

While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for protecting our users, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk.

This guy's making legit points and hopefully, they reach all of the ears in need of hearing them. 🙏🏼
