Every UK and Irish news outlet rn is opting for bullshit euphemisms like “unrest” and pussyfooting around calling what just happened in Belfast what it fucking was; a pogrom. Nazis attempted a pogrom of (primarily black African) migrants.

Let me be explicitly extremely clear: the broad majority of these Nazis are organized well connected Loyalists. The media is bothsidesing this too to sell you a lie. Irish people are often racist, but these are organized pro-British gangs who have been planning this kind of riot behaviour and practising it on innocent Irish people and non-white immigrants in the North for years. They have done this openly, inciting hate and violence with bonfires, car burnings, door knockings and targeted harrassment campaigns. They have been protected with cries of 'respecting their culture' from every level in policing and government. This is not an attempt to stoke fear, but it is a reminder that these riots are not a shock to anyone tapped into Irish politics. These are the culminations of years of racism being ratified into the culture of the North of Ireland.

the scariest thing about the generative AI thing is how quickly people have accepted it as an indefinite, irrevocable part of their reality. people have genuinely convinced themselves that ChatGPT is the only solution to most tasks - tasks they did with their own brain without any large effort two years ago. like you know damn well all of us used to write emails ourselves why are we pretending like this is an impossible task to do with your own two hands. what's with the fucking. AI revisionism. i feel like i am going insane.

Reblog if it's okay if I anonymously confess something to you.

You all owe Chris Chibnall an apology because yes his run wasn’t great but it didn’t end the entire show

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

If you want me, I'll be in the bookstore smelling the paperbacks like a pervert.
