right-wing movements often have a sort of needy, demanding "mom says you have to play with me" element to them – see the conflation of people not wanting you around with 'being silenced' – and the AI people definitely have it pretty bad

feel like shit just want them back :(

The UK is imposing a trans bathroom ban by fiat and it's being done by their equivalent of the Democrats.

Trans men will be banned from all bathrooms and facilities because they're banned from the men's for being AFAB while being banned from the women's for looking like men and "causing alarm."

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

Idk who bill maher is, but I'm glad John Oliver made the leap to a big audience of americans, but part of me still wishes we could have him suffer another Andy Zaltzman pun run on the bugle

This is literally Skin Deep without the Space Pirates and the teapot assaults.

my final form

i hate how you people have taken a potential disability aid for deaf people, live captioning in the real world - and decided to make a facebook glasshole techbro pipedream out of it.

I think I actually took damage from that wetherspoons breakfast.

I cast Kidney Stone on the person who told me they were alright.

The teenage Dutch girls who seduced and killed Nazis - BBC Reel

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen & Hannie Shaft were a trio of teenage resistance fighters during WW2 in occupied Netherlands.

They helped Jewish people escape camps, they sabotaged railway lines, blew up bridges and they seduced many Nazi officers and left them dead and buried in the woods. Rad.

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Listen right, you just need to expand your horizons and get out of your ideological bubbly zone and like me listen to one youtuber with video thumbnails like this

Me and my youtube degree do not recognise Mount Stupid it's all plain sailing from here

Deaf person insight: Clarity is the problem, not volume. I can turn the volume up high on my hearing aids but it all becomes muffly and tinny and your TV shows "naturalistic" mumbly voice lines don't get any clearer from the surrounding music and foley.

4 soldiers eh?

My Long Shot hope is they've a PvE coop mode.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy both belong in The Hague.

Cool. I will probably never retire.
