Here's a thing that I despise: When someone is outed as an abuser, TERF, terrible human, and ppl start going "I never liked them anyway" "I never found them funny" "They never wrote good things to begin with" and seriously shut the hell up. All of that is just to position you are superior and (cont)

The big announcement: Doctor Who’s @sophiealdred.bsky.social to star in an @aptshadow.bsky.social @mikecollins99.bsky.social graphic novel published by me! #DoctorWho winteriscoming.net/first-look-d...

True - when I realised Twitter was choking my links to eg YouTube or Substack, that brought home to me how few people were using the chronological timeline, even when it remained available as an option.

Tell you what, when the AI bubble bursts, there are gonna be some fucking incredible gaming PCs around.

Fucking hell, I genuinely had no idea they were still going.

A cow wearing a t-shirt with the word "SICKOWS" on it looks through a window at 4 crudely made tools and says "MOO... HA HA HA... MOO!!"

did not expect the site of Thomas Beckett’s murder to be memorialized in a fashion that is quite so fucking metal

I think it's short for the kind of track it is - it builds so slowly, it feels like it should be at least five minutes long, but it isn't.

MOSTLY YOU SHOULD MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Not all of them, no, but several of the early ones don't seem to be available anywhere, and those were the ones I meant.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking "You know which of my mutuals has the same vibe as this band? @artofcoop.bsky.social" and I post this and he shares it immediately.

Nadine and the Swimming Lesson

"Yeah, yeah," sympathized Zaphod hardly at all.

Three points I keep repeating
1. Left and liberal voters actually really exist
2. The right and "centre" are trying to rule without liberals - they are way out over their skis
3. Reports of right wing total information control are greatly exaggerated

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

You know a country by its values. By what a country values. And it turns out thatwhat a country values can change overtime. Sometimes, though, there's a sort of cognitive delay between the country you think you are in, and the country you've actually become. For example, you can keep selling yourself, to foreigners, as the country of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, and luring busloads of tourists to Stratford-upon-Avon and Bath, and put a statue of George Orwell in front of the BBC, and imagine yourself a cultured and literate nation, which the rest of the world admires for its devotion to the written word - but if you then chronically underfund your cultural institutions, and treat your cultural workers with contempt, many people will suspect you of being full of it. And as the decades pass - and fewer and fewer Shakespeares and Austens and Orwells emerge from your little island - even more people will begin to suspect that in truth you do not value culture at all, and are in fact running a giant heritage museum in which the only cultural workers you respect are the dead ones.

"I am having a CRISIS of MASCULINITY" I scream as I fall out of the changing room at White Stuff after putting both legs into one trouser leg

4 panel comic P1: We begin with the words "It's... TRUNGLE!" Beneath that, 'gainst a background pink, the eponymous Trungle! Imagine a blue bucket that's been turned upside down. Coming out of its opening are a pair of distressingly human looking --and very bare-- legs. On the surface of the "bucket," an all too human face, which smiles with a slightly open-mouthed serenity. A little purple wide brimmed hat sits at a jaunty angle on their "head" P2: a borderless panel. At the top, a yellow caption box which reads "Everypeople enjoy Trungle!" Below that, a group of people --at a faded in the background-- stare down with adoration at Trungle, who walks toward us in the foreground P3: A high POV, as we look down on Trungle, who --backlit-- walks ever on, smile unwavering. A crowd of people part down the middle to make way for him. P4: Trungle --in silhouette-- walks toward a cave entrance in a high roxk wall, which has an ominous green glow within. A line of smiling people follow behind him. An anxious pink sky on the horizon. The final caption boxes read "Follow Trungle into rock hole!" "Trungle! FRIEND TRUNGLE!!"

trungle!

If the Prescott memo is true, and there is a secret cabal of LGBTQ+ journalists stopping any negative stories about trans people being published or aired at BBC News, then, I have to say, they’re doing a really fucking shit job of that.

The civil service uses VPNs. I'm pretty confident most government functions use VPNs.
