Big shout out to all the people who were mad at me for not wanting them to vote labour cause they were “certain labour will be better on trans rights than the tories“, they couldn’t have done it (segregation) without you

I am so happy to see Anne Hathaway having a great summer, getting love from everyone important and hate from Elon Musk and his fans. She’s been consistently good her whole career, and had that 5 year period where she barely got any work because it was de rigueur to hate her in popular culture

Thought this was an interesting piece. There is so much pressure on companies do something on AI, it is going to end with a lot of slop, bad decisions. One report cited also claimed a 1/3 of workers in a poll admitted to actively sabotaging their firm's AI rollout. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/o...

The A.I. revolution is stalling because companies don’t want to admit that integrating the technology is expensive and slow and requires human effort.

Same deal with other places. Express enthusiasm for things you love on YouTube or Tumblr or TikTok or Instagram or wherever you find the nifty things. Not just fanworks, but anything. Is there a cute animal video on YouTube you watch a lot? Be sure to Like it, but commenting could be good too.

I know I bang this drum a lot but if there are fanworks you love on AO3 be it fanfic, fanvid, podfic, art, or something else, leave comments on them. Definitely leave kudos, but comments mean a lot. Don't have to say a lot—if you love it simply saying "I love this" may make someone's day. ❤️

A lot of columnists have lost their minds in recent years because social media has allowed people to talk back to them, whereas before they could say any old vile shit with next to no pushback

No. I don't always agree with comparisons like this but isn't this equivalent to saying having more women in the workplace is responsible for more sexism? A slippery slope. Racism and its perpetrators are the issue not those on the receiving end.

2. There *is* an important point here about context! The rise in racism against NHS staff is driven in large part by the simultaneous sharp growth in both non-white NHS staff *and* the growth in explicitly xenophobic/anti-immigrant rhetoric in UK politics. A point worth making!

Normal dudes, I guarantee the hottest thing you can do is roll or push up your sleeves and just have your forearms hanging out. They don't need to even be muscle-y or strong, they just gotta be yours

Rod Liddle was a stone-cold arsehole who actually said in a national newspaper that he couldn't be a teacher because he would inevitably try and shag the kids Apparently his editor has said, 'he challenged conventional thinking' If you mean 'was wrong in every conceivable way' then, yes

Always a treat visiting Lahpet in Covent Garden, London. Fabulous Burmese food including their signature lahpet thoke (tea leaf salad), pe palata (yellow pea flatbread), braised beef curry and ohn no kauk swé (chicken and noodles in a rich coconut broth). 🌿
