It's a fairly local issue. We do, after all, live in Britain, the country that is aiding and abetting the genocide.
Saul Staniforth@saulstaniforth.bsky.social · 5d agoBBC Host: "Zacks talked a lot about Gaza. Thats not a local issue is it. Thats not going to improve peoples lives there" Saying that genocide is bad & we shouldn't be funding, arming or supporting the regime doing it. What a terrible person! How dare he, right?
There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.
AI detection software, made out of genAI by the same dipshits making genAI, is being targeted at Black writers so that an Arday can happen but with no human able to be held accountable.
Hetan Shah@hetanshah.bsky.social · 6d agoFrance’s most prestigious literary prize has pulled a book from the longlist they think may have been written by AI. This is the start of what is going to become an authenticity nightmare for all concerned: authors, publishers, awards, readers www.ft.com/content/b002...
When's the last time you even had your teeth rotated? Simple maintenance like that is important.

Also had to explain the concept of same sex marriage to someone at a beginners D&D session last night. I used the phrase “oh, so it’s okay for that guy to have horns and a tail but two women can’t be happy together”
The best thing about moving to a new city most definitely is discovering the joy of all the news venues. Had our anniversary dinner in a new indie pub with a decent veggie menu. And non-alcoholic 1664 on tap.
I remember when every table at an indie comics show looked like the table on the right. Then people found out that artists were scouted for Adventure Time at SPX, and suddenly comic shows became a competition for the attention of art directors and not so much about making comics.

"The Grenfell inquiry ... found she slowed down the installation of self-closing mechanisms on fire doors in the tower for “financial and practical reasons”, despite warnings from the London fire brigade that their absence compromised fire escape routes."

France here. We might joke about it, but it is well known here that the specter from the future Mamdani watched over our ancestors.
@moderation.bsky.app can you please reinstate Lexi Alexander.
Looks like Lexi Alexander (@lexialex.bsky.social) was suspended? WTF? She's one of the most vocal Palestinian supporters on here (and is Palestinian herself). @mommunism.bsky.social had you noticed?
I hate the MCU punisher. It's so tough because Ray Stevenson and Lexi Alexander made the perfect punisher movie. Like, literally the best of all time. The dude looked like shit, lived in a sewer, and was just a piece of shit.
Unless you die instantly in an accident you WILL become disabled at some point in your lifetime. Everything you can do now is temporary. It’s as inevitable as death, and just like it you don’t get to pick when or how.

We have masked militias closing down ports while the press denounces the useless disabled scroungers. Tell me, if you don't think this is fascism, what is it?

Sure, seems totally fine for a bunch of masked men to stop traffic around a port
just stop oil protesters got five years in jail for *planning* to do this to the M25.
