Me when someone starts HRT.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

I will never forgive Moffatt for his portrayal of Churchill. I mean yeah, so many other things too but that’s the one that’s really getting to me right now.

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Screen shot from Wikipedia In a 1995 interview with Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Pratchett expressed concern about the potential spread of misinformation online. He felt that there was a "kind of parity of esteem of information" on the internet, and gave the example of Holocaust denial being presented on the same terms as peer-reviewed research, with no easy way to gauge reliability. Gates disagreed, saying that online authorities would index and check facts and sources in a much more sophisticated way than in print. The interview was rediscovered in 2019, and seen by Pratchett's biographer as prescient of fake news.

It’s a shame that when people (Terry Pratchett in this example) were voicing concerns as far back as 1995, that they were dismissed. Imagine if they’d been taken seriously and we didn’t have the general shit show that is our current political situation.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

A boxed collectible figure of Missy from Doctor Who, although the face looks like that of Jack Harkness

“How are the Missy figures coming along?”

“We’ve run out of money to design a new head.”

“Just stick Captain Jack’s head on but change the hair so it isn’t obvious, no one will notice.”

It’s not just me right?

Valid.

If you want to be really baffled, you should see them on Threads. I don’t know if it’s a load of bots or a load of libs but they are utterly convinced Starmer is crushing it and that it’s just the media being mean. I have died several times from the rage their delusions inspire (I got better).

Well that’s that. There were only six people but they were all lovely and clued up.

Will it change anything? I don’t know. I know the person we met with is going to try. I’m tired of signing petitions that go nowhere, I’m tired of shouting online into a vacuum, atleast this is something productive

I have a meeting today with a member of the government to raise objections and concerns to the EHRCs guidance.

If you have concerns throw them at me now, I want to make sure I raise as much as possible and not just my white trans woman point of view.

I’ve always been a hydropneumatic Citroën girl BUT I would kill for a 2CV they seem like fun little cars

"Damn right," he behemothed hoarsely.

Two-fat white men in suits.

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds

give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!

Initial thoughts on Bye Sweet Carole from playing a bit last night.
- Hot damn this game is beautiful. The animation & storytelling is reminiscent of Don Bluth's more iconic work & is mostly fluid
- the controls can be a little finicky but overall the movement isn't bad
- the plot is intriguing

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

… but it’s still put me off 😐

Electrolysis tonight and I’ve just found out that the numbing cream I use for my top lip is *a little strong.* it seems the USA have a bigger issue with lidocaine than the UK does, getting excitable at 7% strength. My cream is 16%. I’ve used a few tubes of it over the last year without any issues…

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Now there’s barrell riding, eating contest, ram racing, food/drink making and serving, a boss fight in the grounds that rewards random stuff. All I remember before is throwing empty tankards at the dark irons?
