Jolyon and his imaginary friend

[worrisomeasset]

One of them is telling porkies, and I’ve a pretty good idea which one it is.

Yep. I bet she gets it all the live long bloody day.

I have to say, I do think it would be somewhat tricky space to live in.

People wanting you, all the time, for all sorts of different reasons. Some of them really awful.

Hard to remain grounded. And I think she makes a good fist of it.

And that amount of money and influence is one thing, but having the articulation and insight to be able burn willy-nilly, is quite another.

it's almost metaphysical. I wonder if it's no coincidence that she had to write about witchcraft ✨

Genius !

The name of the poster is also very funny. Took me a moment.

Step aside wannabes.

I did F.L.A.M.E.S and JKR and I got 82% 'F'

The gold standard for friendship.

Just had this pop on my Facebook. He's completely delusional

Da fuck is he on about?

Believe it or not, he's claiming that the GLP's embarrassing failed challenge contained such incisive legal analysis that Bridget Phillipson demanded revisions from the EHRC, which is the reason the EHRC has offered a revised version.

Absolute cargo cult thinking, assuming it's not a deliberate and cynical lie.

TRAs might be uninformed and blind, but they're not all bloody stupid.

They're so going to see his spin.

I'm sure that you have evidence to support the claim that they've not all bloody stupid.

Name one that isn't bloody stupid?

Just messing but it is a pretty brave statement.

Well yes, I was trying to think of a word that was like stupid but wasn't stupid 😁

Well, the people who quietly undermined women’s rights and for quite a long time enforced ‘no debate’ (remember, the stealth was deliberate strategy) weren’t stupid in their tactics.

I think people like this genuinely believe they are being wronged by disbelief despite the thing being disbelieved not actually being, y'know, true.

I think the - well, not logical, but emotional chain of reasoning is something like:

This thing could have happened. It didn't, but it could have. So my story of a thing that didn't happen but could have still counts as proof it can happen. And not believing my lie that I suffered a thing is morally the same as not believing an actual victim of the thing. Are you monsters happy now? Are you proud that you have caused a thing that we warned you would happen but didn't actually happen but could have to theoretically actually happen?
