Lydon just got desperate to stay relevant in his old age I think. 'Liking' Trump + Brexit had the whiff of scrape-the-barrel contrarianism. Had to laugh at that butter advert. No coming back from that. Do suspect Morrissey was always total arse. He disappointed so many when he went full-on fash

Lisa becomes disillusioned with her hero. Hilarious reaction from Morrissey management: "Poking fun at subjects is one thing," [..] "but when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.

"Even worse - calling the Morrissey character out for being a racist, without pointing out any specific instances, offers nothing. It only serves to insult the artist."

I have every confidence that the Bluesky Moderation Team meant well

Sooz Kempner, who is for some reason still able to talk with her tongue in her cheek, says that trans people are not very good at sport

Martha@marthalondon· Apr 13

to my sensibilities, the reportedly AI-generated original was a satire on Trump's self regard, which, if so, he fell for, hook line and sinker. This is an improvement for the MAGA faithful

@oakesmarianne.bsky.social (on Xit): 'Supreme Court ruling does not override the Equality Act, why does equalities minister say that. This is why we are in a mess. I pity any transphobe travelling to Europe, toilets are unisex, what will they do This is making the UK an even bigger laughing stock.'

Under-reporting of domestic abuse is a scandal in UK media, and that sadly those not murdered (1.5pw) so often commit suicide as only way out of hell (report March 2025). So why did Guardian headline this today? Have they sat on this article? Nothing 2 do with PBs & trans teen suicides of course 1/x

THE FACEBOOK FUNDRAISER SCREENSHOT HERE IS A SCAM. It is not by Lexi McMenamin as they have confirmed on Bluesky just now. *please repost*

Martha@marthalondon· Nov 6

@leximcmenamin.com hi and more power to your elbow. Hoping the Teen Vogue politics crew can rise from the ashes of this coup. This screenshot is from FB fundraiser. It is you or just a scam?

@bencollins.bsky.social Sorry a lot of us don't allow the cookie multilayer labyrinth just to read a satirical article. Appreciate the sentiment though

WTF? Probably a spoof, but if so irritating and cheap attempt to be mysterious IMO

Martha@marthalondon· Oct 17

TIL that Dr William Archibald Spooner was pro-vice-chancellor of New College Oxford as well as, at other times, Dean and Warden. Which of course has nothing whatsoever to do with this charming thought:

Martha@marthalondon· Oct 10

oh dear the everlasting cookie tickboxes! Sadly that's a no

Martha@marthalondon· Oct 10

oh noes!

Holly Brigstocke blocked me for this reply to her telling the Hope Not Hate guy to 'get in the sea'. No clue what her thing is

IIRC it was first a mission of the US fundie churches (Southern Baptists etc) who have bottomless funding available to influence press barons, creating astroturf pressure groups to lobby government and take legal actions against trans people in employment and employers who have equal rights policies

.. with all that money available, any rancid bigot with an axe to grind was on a free ride to notoriety with the press giving them free unquestioning publicity. Hope Not Hate guy was correct saying that it is multi-deprived areas with no immigrants that are the breeding grounds for the shock troops

..erm. Is this a spoof?

Marinus van der Lubbe (Dutch pronunciation: [maːˈrinʏs fɑn dər ˈlʏbə]; 13 January 1909 – 10 January 1934) was a Dutch communist who was tried, convicted, and executed by the government of Nazi Germany for setting fire to the Reichstag building—the national parliament of Germany—on 27 February 1933. During his trial, the prosecution argued that van der Lubbe had acted on behalf of a wider communist conspiracy, while left-wing anti-Nazis argued that the fire was a false flag attack arranged by the Nazis themselves. Most historians agree that van der Lubbe acted alone, although this is occasionally disputed. Nearly 75 years after the event, the German government granted van der Lubbe a posthumous pardon.[1]

The new chief executive of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has warned university leaders that their institutions might need to start doing “fewer things but doing them really well”, stating he is wary of a “crumbs for everyone” approach to funding.
