San Francisco is lovely

It's the Republican head-in-the-sand stance on human accelerated climate change that I find utterly abhorrent (as well as the bat shit crazy stance on guns and abortion related healthcare) that means I would have voted for fucking Mr. Bean before 34 x convicted felon, sex offender and pathological liar Donald J Trump.

Battle of the benches in the championship telly game tonight, with Niall McGinn at home to Alfie Bavidge.

some games we have scraped to a 1 goal win. Other games we have absolutely dominated ... to a 1 goal win. It's about time we absolutely whipped someone's ass. This will be a real acid test for Jimmy. Doc will know we are starting from the hammering we got at Hampden, but will his team be able to contain us? I am going for 4‐0 Dons - Topi, Rubi, Devlin and Duk to score

Jesus fucking wept. This kind of attitude is EXACTLY why the Democrats lost. "well, i don't think this is a big deal so no-one else should and if you do you're a bigot. We know better, just suck it up oiks" 1. Whether you like it or not it's not a fucking side issue at all. As I said prior a lot of people have become single issue voters over it over here (look at the collapse of the female vote for the SNP if you need an example) and I would be very surprised if it's not the same in the states. 2. Where was I when people in positions of authority were raping women? Condemning it whenever I became aware of it. Giving birth in a cell? Also condemning it. The difference here is that in both cases the prison staff are failing in their duty of care and there are processes in place to to discipline them for it and for them to lose their jobs. Prisons are not meant to be holiday camps but, equally, people should be safe within them. It's interesting though that you show concern on those fronts but then show nothing but contempt for woman when you trivialise rape by saying "Or any other far more pressing issues in women's prisons that don't involved getting biffed by a tranny.". Why are you ok with with women getting locked up with males that want to rape them that they can't escape from cos, you know, prison? Genuine question. Also what are these issues in womans prisons that are more pressing that inmates being raped? Again, genuine question. 3 "It's fucking mental how such a side issue has been elevated to something important. It's impressive actually. It started with an attempt to help a relatively small number of people with identity issues, was picked up by the crap-rags who made it the biggest issue of our times" This is not what happened at all. What started out as a very noble cause to raise awareness for those suffering the mental health condition, gender dysphoria, was hijacked and has now basically become a male supremacy movement. Further to that the ideological capture of institutions (see the edinburgh rape crisis centre controversy for example) and the indoctrination of children in schools has further stoked the fire. I feel absolutely gutted for the actually gender dysphoric because none of them wanted this. 4. It's not about "genital history" it's about an emperors new clothes level delusion (namely the concept that sex is not real and immutable) sweeping the world and weak minded people going along with it because they are too scared to offend or be branded a bigot. Hope you enjoyed your wee virtue signal though

Quite impressive. Though if you find Aberdeen Ole repetitive…

Heidenheim fans in Grassmarket before the game.

Anti abortion, anti gay marriage, pro guns. I expect thats my US trips on hold till im 52 at the earliest.

Please to be enlightening me. This is news to me. Personally I believe that economics is the last thing you should be thinking about when tackling climate change. Not much point in having a strong economy under water unless we evolve gills post haste. I can't really be arsed explaining the importance of admitting there's a problem to someone who appears to be much more pedantic than they are stupid. Whether there's a solution or not I don't know but there are countless steps that can be taken in the right direction. And the first one is not pretending that it doesn't exist because it doesn't suit your agenda. Or maybe they just can't be arsed. When Covid became too much of an inconvenience they just decided to pretend it didn't exist. After all it was only the weak that were dying. I happen to agree that EVs aren't the answer on their own but again they are a step in the right direction. The carbon footprint of EVs is an overplayed card but the more widespread they become the smaller the carbon footprint of each car will become. Personally I believe the aviation and shipping industry have to take much of the responsibility as well as manufacturing.

Next you'll be telling me Ron DeSantis is a fine upstanding politician and a credit to your new home state of Florida and not one of the worst human beings that has ever lived full stop period.

I also don't think you can underestimate the effect Identity politics has had on this result as well btw. It's made plenty of people, and not just women, single issue voters over here so no reason to think it won't be over there and I think it is a big reason why so many demographics that would normally vote Democrat heavily weigh in for trump. Most folks don't want to see males in women's sports and prisons and are sick of being called bigots for refusing to pretend that someone wasn't born the way they were. It will be interesting to see the effect a trump presidency has on this issue both domestically and internationally.

It's another death nell for the planet imo. He, along with all his authoritarian friends, will rape and pillage the world. Two countries will cease to exist next year and that will be directly due to his foreign policy and the friends he keeps. Clue, it's not the ones currently committing genocide. I don't envy the yanks, they were voting between two shades of shite, but I will respectively disagree that he was the less evil of the two. The media in the US is false, like much of the country but to say it was anti trump is laughable. CNN definitely. I'm afraid that you will soon realise that his policies and corporate tax cuts will do fuck all, the US is fucked. Isn't the debt 100% of GDP already? JD Vance is the one to watch out for, you're right. He seems like one evil fucker. Trump is just bumbling old fool, vance is the real evil.

what a fucking shite week this is turning out to be.
