How weird and mysterious that transphobes are also against women's rights to bodily autonomy.

I'm deeply sick of living in a country where policy is designed not on its merits, on its ability to help the needy, to make positive change in the world, to protect the vulnerable, but to thread the needle of the exact amount of callousness and cruelty tol appeal to an (imaginary!) voting bloc.

Just a really big whoop for the transphobe cis women who've got UK women legally defined as an ambulant vagina with tits. Well done ladies. Not like we've spent literally centuries trying not to be reduced to that.

I'm quite comfortable with abolishing deportations and giving every immigrant and refugee a home and food and education and a job and safety, and if you object on the basis that we don't give citizens those things, my answer is simply that we should be giving those things already.

I’m finding the news so desperately bleak and upsetting — it feels like so many of the promises made to us about democracy, technology, justice, and economy are souring into a proto-dystopia

I've been trying all day to think of the right words to say about today's court ruling. Fuck TERFs seems to about cover it.

My heart hurts for our trans and non-binary friends and loved ones. Now, more than ever we need to step up and lend our support and uplift trans voices.

I'd like to add that it's not just that she's a bad person with horrible views, it's that she uses any interest in her work as confirmation that you support her views, and is using her money and influence to make things materially worse for trans people in the uk and beyond

Hugely enjoying The Studio on Apple TV. Fabulous cameos, Marty Scorsese acting his socks off, and the second episode is a wonderfully tense farce

Nope!

I get to see my girlfriend in 3.5 days. I am so excited 🥳

HOLD THE PHONE

STOP

STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW

A POIROT REMAKE WHERE HE'S FROM THE BELGIAN CONGO AND WE RE-INTERROGATE ALL THE GREATEST HITS FROM THAT POV WOULD SLAP

and then Hastings is like, his emotional support himbo and also a white dude who opens doors that would otherwise be closed to him

Another Friday. Another day of crying over how perfect #Severance is.

Creative industries are among the UK’s crown jewels – and AI is out to steal them | John Naughton The tech firms’ efforts to change copyright laws and gain free access to intellectual property is patently wrong

"The aim of public policy should be building a copyright regime that respects creative workers and engenders the confidence that AI can be fairly deployed to the benefit of all rather than just tech corporations."

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What I love most about #Severance (apart from EVERYTHING) is that I can never tell whats going to happen. Ive watched enough TV that I can usually predict how things are going to go but Severance is constantly surprising & delighting me by not doing whats expected. Thats why its the best thing on TV

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS. Stop referring to me as "Gulf Dukat" immediately or you will be sent to Ore Processing.

UK copyright law consultation ‘fixed’ in favour of AI firms, peer says Exclusive: Beeban Kidron says plans will lead to ‘wholesale’ transfer of wealth from creative industries to tech sector

This should worry all creatives:

A consultation on changes to UK copyright law is “fixed” in favour of artificial intelligence companies and will lead to a “wholesale” transfer of wealth from the creative industries to the tech tells The Guardian.

/looks around/

I mean, go for it.

I got up early to watch #Severance before work. I love this show more every week. Highlight of the week : That look between Milchick and Natalie. 💔

Imagine Arthur leaning over to Merlin every five minutes going "Magic?" And Merlin being like, "No that's a television."

I don't really go here, but I think a sequel series to Merlin, set in the modern day, where Arthur comes back and Merlin has to teach him about the modern world, and they fall in love, would actually be healing.

If you're not watching Severance, respectfully, what is wrong with you?

Happy Severence Season 2 day! 🎉
