    They've made that a complete non-story by going with the now typical Twitter rundown in place of actual content. If they had anyone with an even vaguely satirical or even functioning mind working there they'd have picked up the 'vessel in distress' angle and ran like fuck with it, rather than taking up a tenth of the total real estate with some genius who photoshopped him upside down.

    I expect SNL will try to do it as some version of Spicer being held hostage and trying to signal for help, and it'll be crap.

    Yeah, turning articles into a twitter feed is a piss-poor practice. I'd rather hear more about John Surtees' fantastic career instead of "Here's Paul Hollywood's thoughts in less than 140 characters #bread."

    1. Just took a massive dump and my father in law went in straight after me. Regretting not cracking the window.

    I'd quite like to take a walk around Haiti, even though it'd be a daft idea without blacking up first. They're all mental.

    Before Giggles gets mad without reading more than the headline. You get what the point of the bill is right?

    Yeah, they don't have to abide by the same regulations (or something like that) so now they're able to post utter shite.

    I'm not interested in the story so much as how the writer has painstakingly avoided any use of personal pronouns. Is Monroe one of those made up genders you get now?

    Fell apart as a person after reading a tweet? Fair enough it was a shitty thing to post (and he's well within his rights to nail someone for it) but fucking hell, get a grip.

    Having sat in on this exact meeting inside a pro-LGBT HIV Charity, that meeting would take about 7 years at the Beeb.

    @Disco She/He/Whatever has been very public about suffering from anxiety/panic attacks long before they were even a public figure. I know it's easy to say 'get a grip' but you may as well go into the Depression thread on here and tell everyone to just cheer up.

    There's a woman in one of the departments here who has changed from a Ms to a 'Mx'. No idea.

    Telling depressed folk to "cheer up" is not comparable to using the wrong pronoun.

    If someone called me "her", I would correct them and move on. Actually, if someone continually used the wrong pronoun for me, I would probably block them and move on with my life - it's not my job to force people to use pronouns that they don't want to use - they would be a dick for not doing so - but then I wouldn't hang out with them - problem solved.

    That's not what she was falling apart from. She was getting it from all sides from a bunch of people who thought she vandalised a war memorial. Reading helps.

    If [s]he is that prone to panic attacks then maybe carving out a career as a mouthy Twitter personality isn't the best idea. Anyway, remember when [s]he accused David Cameron of using his dead son as cover for not actually privatising the NHS? That strikes me as being pretty libellous (even under the superior American system), so lol at this entire story.

    She got famous off writing a cooking blog for people on/below the poverty line to make healthy family meals not being a 'mouthy Twitter personality' so let's drop that line of attack.

    On the judgement, it's a terrible, terrible case that'll be abused by the 'bad' people as much as used by the 'good' people. What happens if Hopkins writes yet another terrible article and I call her a racist that wants brown people dead (she is) and then she gets sacked?

    The cooking got things rolling, but [s]he has since developed into an all-round activist rent-a-gob sort, largely through social media and Guardian articles. The [wo]man is a cunt.

    Monroe, who was assigned female at birth, identifies as non-binary transgender
    Nah, Melisa, you're a lesbian. Like millions of others. 'Assigned' makes it sound like some stolen birthright. Transgenders despise their physical form. You seem alright with yours. Still, props on the court win.
