An oldie but a goodie. In 1968 a bunch of entitled hippy bastards sent a letter detailing their specious demands to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford. This was their letter of reply, which speaks to how far the academy has since fallen.

Something people don't mention enough is that JK Rowling is a domestic violence survivor. She didn't have a victim mentality. She survived by writing the best-selling children's books of a generation. With that said, she's still a DV survivor, and she inherently understands coercive control and abuse dynamics, and she identifies them in the trans activist movement. It amazes me that she has exercised so much restraint in discussing the depths of the effects of her own witch-hunt in an age where few resist doing so, but she doesn't because she doesn't have a victim complex, and that is why they hate her so much.

Heard some younger people say they can’t believe undiagnosed ADHD adults made it through school with no support at all. We didn’t just survive it. We built a whole personality around hiding it, got told we were “smart but lazy” by almost every teacher, and only learned the word executive dysfunction in our thirties.

I hate the clocks going backwards and forwards. When I was young, we didn’t even have clocks. If we got hungry, we ate each other. We were poor, but we were happy. Good times. Not that we had time. It hadn’t been invented. We had to make our own time out of string and cholera.

‘There is a major problem’ in French is ‘Il y une couille dans le potage’ literally: ‘there is a testicle in the soup’.

Life is barely 80 years. We should buy the $70,000 Ford F-150. Eat Texas Roadhouse ribs every single Tuesday. Get married four times in Vegas just for the cake. Anyway I am currently rinsing out a ziploc bag to dry on the dish rack.

I'm not the "Misses social cues" kind of autistic I'm actually the "I think You're social cues are cowardly and you should speak up like an adult" kind of autistic

Compound swearwords, like ‘shitgibbon’, work best when the second word is a two-syllable word where the first syllable is stressed and contains the same vowel as the swearword. This is why ‘cock-womble’ works but ‘dick-womble’ does not.

「ナイル川のナイルは現地の言葉で川という意味」って話は有名だけど、調べてみたらガンジス川のガンジスも川だったし、インダス川のインダスも川だったし、ドナウ川のドナウも川だったし、オリノコ川のオリノコも川だったし、メナム川のメナムも川だったし、メコン川のメコンも川だった。

This is why Cardiff's airport has always been so annoying. Easier to get back to Cardiff from Bristol, with cheaper flights
Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

It’s important for your development as a person to have a solid 6 months where the only person who cares if you live or die is the gas station guy

Dear Trans Activists, If you’re going to get this over-dramatic every time an employer or service provider agrees to abide by equality law you need to expand your historical analogies. Rosa Parks & Nazi Germany is getting a bit samey. Tell us how girls having female only changing rooms is the same as the Destruction of Carthage. Or how single sex refuges are exactly like the Cromwellian Conquest of Ireland. Up your game.
