It's an attempt by Meta to swallow the fediverse via Microsoft's old "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy.

I almost fell for it, you won't catch me this easy MI5.
I'll be visiting family to give them presents and nothing else!
Oh and watching that Wallace and Gromit film that's gonna be on BBC One
Not just do you get a better sense of the measurements but also the feel of the fabric. If I'm gonna buy something to wear, I really wanna be sure it's nice against my skin before I buy.
Sadly, I live in the arse end of nowhere though, and there's a lot of stuff I can't find without looking online.
I don't really have strong memories of Christmas, I get the impression from my family that I tended to be less depressive at that time of year.
CW: suicide
Well, aside from that time I snuck off from a party and tried to kill myself in the woods, but I was doing that a lot that year so I'm not sure that counts as a Christmas specific thing.
If you pause it, it's much clearer that it's just been overlayed onto the video.

Cis is just the opposite of trans. If some people are trans then it follows others are cis.
20 years ago you'd be pissing and whining about the use of heterosexual.
Another unnecessary sequel?
I'm gonna skip this one, let me know when they put Jesus in space, or make him fight Jason Voorhees, or whatever these sortsa franchises do when they run outta ideas.
Careful not to burn yourself at that BBQ 'cos you'll have to go into debt to afford a sticking plaster. That is if any gathering of Americans larger than two doesn't just immediately devolve into a mass shooting again. Maybe you'll see a weather balloon and have to hide indoors from the Chinese.
You don't need to imagine, Ricky Gervais exists.
And getting offended by it really isn’t helping your case here.
Yes, rush to the defence of misgendering, that'll show us uppity transgenders. /s
I don't think picking an arbitrary time of, like, 9 years ago is accurate for when the western left's "idpol turn" started. Labour rights and anti racism have always been closely intertwined causes and the trade unions have been closely aligned with queer groups since the 80's at least.
But whatever.
Created a more organised front against the current reactionary pushes and helped getting marginalised people politically active despite the neoliberal attempt to crush grassroots political activism.
Plenty of people, myself for example: leftist agitation caused both a reform within the Welsh NHS' gender service to move away from antiquated gatekeeping and towards self-id and informed consent, while at the same time these same groups successfully pushed the Senedd to bring out free prescriptions. My poor, post-grad self wouldn't have had the time to fight to get a gender identity certificate nor the money to afford HRT treatment if it wasn't for the intersectional tactics of the "western left".
