I placed an order with a French online shop a few days ago, and was presented with options for title: Madame, Monsieur and Neutre. Oh my, the fabled three genders!

Wondering whether this would constitute the world's cheapest bottom surgery, I went ahead with "neuter Marek Isalski".

Imagine my surprise and delight when I received the "order being processed" email a few days later: "Bonjour magnifique Isalski Marek"

New non-binary French-language "m." title just dropped, and it's *magnificent*.

Well, there goes the union, then.

Over the next fifteen years the tech sector in London failed to recruit and retain systems developers as "neckbeards" retired or passed away but were not replaced by a younger generation of software engineers. Historians would attribute this shortage to … 1/4

Then the banking systems in London completely collapsed in the early hours of the morning on 19th January 2038, and the City's reputation never recovered. Scotland's First Minister immediately pushed for and subsequently won an independence referendum.

This documentary series tells the story of how trans rights destroyed the last vestiges of the British Empire, and why the countries of the formerly United Kingdom subsequently adopted anarcho-socialist political policies and economies. 2/2

Over the next fifteen years the tech sector in London failed to recruit and retain systems developers as "neckbeards" retired or passed away but were not replaced by a younger generation of software engineers. Historians would attribute this shortage to the "Great Catgirl Migration" as skilled workers relocated to Scotland. The financial sector in England's capital had already been struggling to reinvent itself on the global stage despite two decades since Brexit. 1/2
