As much as we focus more of R*wling when talking about UK writers who cooked their brains a sea of toxic bigotry, mostly because of her ongoing cultural relevance and dragon's hoard of wealth she uses to fund hate campaigns against a 1% minority, but I think Graham Linehan is the truest example of how dedicating your life to obsessing over people's genitals can ruin your life. He was so dedicated to transphobia that his wife left him and he hasn't had a job in years.
I don't think I've seen someone that had Linehan's relative level of fame that has fallen in such a weird way. I don't think "currently unemployed TV comedy writer uses chatgpt to make transphobic fetish content" is one I had on my list of possibilities. This one is off the scale.

Somewhat related to that but there is another disturbing trend from cishet men where they are disproportionately offended that women do not trust them immediately and implicitly. Yes, racism can play a factor in these sorts of interactions but the men who complain about it the loudest are white guys who are offended women who are total strangers do not want to be alone with them at night. So offended by the idea that someone could view them as a possible threat that they become a real threat. They think their hurt feelings are more important than a woman’s safety. They think a stranger in an elevator inching away from them is a scathing personal insult. Eugh.
MTV, the channel that revolutionized the music industry, has today said its final Goodbye by moving to a digital-only model. Its 24-hour music channel has ceased to be officially its transmissions.
The end came with a nod to its beginnings, the last broadcast was the iconic videoclip of “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles, the same one that inaugurated the history of MTV on August 1, 1981. In this way, the channel closed after 44 years, with the same song that defined its birth
RIP 1st Aug 1981 - 31st Dec 2025

every time a country is invaded by the US under the excuse of “rescuing” its people, what’s left behind is either a cemetery or an open air asylum.
there isn’t a single case in history where the US actually saved a country from anything, what they did leave behind, consistently, were stolen resources, exploited land, and futures permanently scarred by military dictatorships.
what the US does in the middle east is widely known, what many people still don’t fully grasp is what they’ve done and continue to do in latin america.
they funded, trained, and supported military dictatorships across most of the region, and they infiltrated our cultures in a calculated, orchestrated way that still shapes us today.
to my LATAM stay strong cuz we’re going to need it in the years ahead.
