The Metropolitan Railway was the very first underground railway in the world, and opened to the public on this day in 1863. It served London from then until 1933, for 70 years. It was also known as the Met. Former Met tracks and stations are used by the London Underground's Metropolitan, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, Piccadilly, Jubilee and Victoria lines, and by Chiltern Railways and Great Northern.
Its main line headed northwest from the financial district in the City of London to what would later become Middlesex. Its first line connected the main-line railway termini at Paddington, Euston, and King's Cross to the City. The first section was built beneath the New Road using cut-and-cover between Paddington and King's Cross and in tunnel and cuttings beside Farringdon Road from King's Cross to near Smithfield, near the City. It opened to the public on 10 January 1863 with gas-lit wooden carriages hauled by steam locomotives, the world's first passenger-carrying designated underground railway.

Between the ‘men hitting back’ and the “gay is political” tt gamer posts today, I’m feeling very ‘we need to totally and completely shutdown cis men until we can figure out what’s going on” this morning
Cis men are feeling the big pinch from neoliberalism and are losing their minds. Expect them to take it out on women, LGBTQ, the disabled as their quality of life continues to slip.
That and there’s always been a general vibe of entitlement among Cismen in our society that comes from being the top of the hierarchy under patriarchy and shit. But yeah I think it’s predictable that as material conditions deteriorate they’ll lash out more.
Also like unfortunately mainstream TTRPG spaces can be hella reactionary. I remember the pants shitting Reddit had a while back when wizards put a canonically trans character in one of the main dnd modules lol. I’m not surprised to see some push back to lgbt inclusion but it is grating af
