Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

You need to understand this is exactly the kind of art I miss so much

not sure why I made this but now you have to see it

youtu.be/hX21ctsGhNc This video is a few days old, but watching it, it reminded me of some of my favourite craic from back in the #motherfoclóir days. It was funny, and educational, and managed to land on both counts. If you have 15 minutes, it's worth a watch. @darach.bsky.social

Literally how difficult is it to follow the standard WPATH has been recommending for years? Theyre reinventing the wheel and deciding it should be square instead ofcircle

Look at the state of this shite! 14 steps for a hrt script with a committee deciding if you're able to make decisions for yourself about your own body. They want to force these rules on private healthcare and you can never be free of the bastards. This will make the wait-list 50yrs within 5yrs.

“Everyone hates cameras in smart glasses. But if the camera is contained in a charm you wear around your neck, it shifts the agency. Suddenly, you’re not recording people. It’s just a cute little animated avatar looking out on the world.”

I can only second this. If you are in Glasgow, visit Category Is. It's much more than a bookshop. It's a community hub, a place of active resistance, and a big fucking hug.

Appalling that in 2026 our local queer spaces are getting their windows panned in. However I was so glad to be able to contribute to the massive outpouring of support from the community to help the shop fundraise for shutters. I love Category Is and recommend that you visit if you're in Glasgow

23 years too late I realised that Russell Crowe's character in Gladiator and Mandy Patinkin's character in Princess Bride are both called "the Spaniard" and both have a "my name is X, you killed my relative(s) and I'm going to kill you" speeches.

Janice Turner is the columnist who called Trump a 'feminist hero' for banning trans women from sport.

Kathy O'Donnell@kathyodonnell.bsky.social · last wk.

Here's Janice to tell you that something else she doesn't understand therefore isn't real and blah-blah-blah lost generation. Bored of trans, the queen of reactionary toss dressed up as concern is now on to ADHD.

Another one of the days when most of NI is holding its breath and the national news outlets in London have barely registered that anything has happened.

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

A reminder: eugenics does not belong in academia — it belongs in the trash. It’s pretty basic.

I am far from the first person to observe this, but Yuds stuff is classic auto-didact shit. Part of why we send smart kids off to college is so that they can meet a bunch of people smarter than they are and come to the painful realization that they aren't hot shit. Certainly worked for me.

They doxxed the fucking Prodigy crab

Me making plans for WorldCon

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

RIP TO ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT

NOT DOLLY PARTON

A mural in Edgewater of Dolly Parton

let's do UBI for her, she'd want us to

Ghostly Bree@mostlybree.kitrocha.com · 2mo ago

Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...

GNU Dolly Parton 💔 A genuinely wonderful human being. This beautiful artefact from the Pratchett household, circa the mid 80s, was known as the ‘Dolly Parton Eggcup.’

Godspeed and farewell to Frank Beard, ZZ Top’s steadfast drummer, the quiet engine behind the Texas blues-rock machine. #RIPFrankBeard

Thought it’d be nice to just have a simple vid without the fast editing to just show off the pots currently still available on the website. So enjoy a nice slow look at the pots and some smooth jazz 🎷 these pots are available on www.roseschmits.com Free UK shipping, worldwide available

I have been using the gym metaphor with my students for a while now (i.e., school work as “doing reps.”). But somehow I never referred to it as “brain day.” 10/10. Will steal.

Erika Hall@erikahall.bsky.social · 2mo ago

several people have been typing about this, but we can't let the VCsian dualism go unremarked. Reading, learning, putting words, concepts, knowledge, into your brain via eye, ear, touch etc. is fundamentally a physical act. You have to do the reps. A lot of guys out there skipping brain day.

I honestly think if you could just delete the British Press it would be one of the biggest net positives for humanity

HUGE: Seattle will provide free meals to all public school students, starting this fall. This week the city council unanimously approved $3.6 million to offer universal school meals. /1
