JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.
Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.
However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.
But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.
It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.
We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

Just taking a moment to remind everyone that JK Rowling is a Holocaust denier.
The looting & burning of the library of Die Institut für Sexualwissenschaft is an incredibly well-documented event that marks one of the first major events of Nazi persecution of the LGBT community.

Guess what, Jo. This definitely happened.
She has gone further to perpetuate lies about Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld that engage with the anti-semitic conspiracy theory that Jews are encouraging LGBT identities to end the reproduction of the Aryan race and take over the world.
HEY! GOOD NEWS! IF YOU DO HISTORICAL RESEARCH, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY COOL!
LGBT persecution by Nazis, especially trans persecution, is an area of the Holocaust that remains under-researched and under-documented. Historians are working hard to identify trans and queer victims and to illuminate their life stories. If you are at all interested in this, it's something you can do, too. Research for all!

Also there was only like two minutes of the episode left to give an explanation. I don’t think they would have had time to give a whole spiel like I did 😂
So I've been thinking a lot about back to reality. The despair squids tactics make a lot of sense for everybody, everybody that is except for Rimmer.
(Trigger warning for mentions of Suicidal thoughts I guess? If the word being repeated a few times is going to upset you then please just skip this post I don't want anyone upset or hurting themselves. Just being cautious)
For example, Kryten taking a human life, it makes sense that that would be his line as it goes entirely against his programming and the moral values he's developed/developing with the help of Lister.
The Cat being the vain and self-centered create he is (and that we all love him to be) would of course be driven to the depths of despair and suicidal ideality by the thought that he was in reality an anorak wearing stonehenge tooth having dork.
And Lister. Lister who discovered he's really a totalitarian state upholding monster who sends people to their deaths for standing against the state, yeah that would bum anyone out but especially Dave Lister who has seemingly lived his life as free as he wanted and however he wanted and as we know has extreme authority issues.
Then we come to Rimmer. I could kinda see making him an alcoholic bum, because let's face it Rimmer is very very particular about his own self image (to the point of lying even to himself to make himself seem better) despite all his shortcomings he's always prided himself on taking care of his own appearance and realising that that's all fake would certainly shake him but I can't see that being the source of his despair and suicidal ideality. No in fact the episode itself seems to make a point of reiterating that what he cant stand is that Lister is his far more successful half brother. And that is what bugs me.
All of Rimmers (to his knowledge at this point in time) full blooded brothers are more successful than he is in reality, his brothers are captains, high flyers in the space core. He's lived this "reality" 3 times over in his life why would the squid think making Lister his half-brother and far more successful would drive him to suicide?
It genuinely makes me wonder, there's a few different thoughts I have but I would love to hear anyone else's. It just seems so odd to me.

I get my media recommendations the old fashioned way: by watching someone I follow on here go on an unhinged reblog spree of media related content until I eventually decide to go "alright, what's all this then"

I mean Kryten does say it outright in the show:
“The hallucinations were designed to induce despair. To attack the very things we each consider quintessential to our self esteem. Take Mr. Rimmer. Back there he could no longer blame his failings and shortcomings on his parents because he shared his upbringing with you sir (Lister). His richer, more important half brother.”
Idk, I thought it was pretty clear personally, but maybe that’s just me. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out this isn’t the 90s anymore. This is the same guy who played Johnny Silverhand!!! 😅

That frankly says more about you OP than us. The fact that we can’t tell the difference isn’t very flattering, is it? What does that say about you? 🤣🤣🤣
I am not crazy! I know the new Fallout show is bad! I saw them retcon New Vegas out of existence. He blew up the NCR. As if obsidian could ever have made such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. Amazon covered their tracks, they got that idiot at Rotten Tomatoes to lie for them. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? They’ve done worse. The vault boy! Are you telling me that the logo just happens to be based off of Walton Goggins? No! They orchestrated it! Bethesda! They added references to the classic games! And I trusted them not to retcon them! And I shouldn't have. I watched all 8 episodes! What was I thinking? They’ll never change. They’ll never change! Ever since their first game, always the same! Couldn't keep their hands out of the canon! But not our Bethesda! Couldn't be precious Bethesda! Removing the Boneyard! And they get to have a TV show!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped them when I had the chance!

Ironically OP sounds like the kind of thing you see scrawled on the wall of a deserted Vault 😂

I cannot stress enough what a good choice Keanu Reeves is for the part. I’m so excited for this. Every time I imagine iconic Shadow scenes with Keanu Reeves doing the voice, I get chills 🤓😄

How the hell do people have so much energy to complain about everything non stop everyday?My coworker complains from the second she walks in to the second she leaves and wants EVERYONE to know about her problems. Its literally all day every day loud whining. Is it rude of me to tell her to stop? Because i cant take it anymore
