I've had to show my MP that they're not even hiding the comically evil side of things. They're named after the artifact used by Sauron to spy on the people of Middle-Earth, and their UK head's grandfather led the British Union of Fascists.

The pressure is mounting. Now is the time to act. Join over 83,000 people and message your local NHS Trust to say no to Palantir https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/

The school I work at has a policy. If a student/customer asks "do you have English for <topic>?" then the management will always say "yes", then come up with a syllabus later. I am now a teacher of "English for the supernatural and paranormal".

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

WADJET EYE IS 20 YEARS OLD!! Which means it’s time to celebrate with another group photo. It’s frankly ridiculous that the universe has allowed me to continue doing this for so long. I’m grateful for it every day. Thank you all.

20 games and 20 years worth of Wadjet Eye characters, all bunched up for a group photo.
