our dog is pissed because i am eating QUICHE and she has only kibble
Have had that horrible experience of being asked to change the briefest paragraph in one of my books so a particular foreign publisher could avoid arrest in that country’s massive LGBTQ+ crackdown. I had to decline and therefore not be published - you don’t negotiate with tyrants - but what a world.
Very funny to see some people believe the BBC documentary about the famously litigious author will show her in a (correctly) bad light.
Robert Pattinson was born a voice actor but was cursed with a handsome face.
oh shit 10th anniversary of the infinity train pilot being released is on November 1. jeez. Oh man. Jeez. Jeez!
"We want more money but we don't want immigrants," is what she actually says, knowing that her hesitancy will not hide the conviction behind her words.
Peter Stefanovic@peterstefanovic.bsky.social · 23h ago"I think the majority of people in Britain know that leaving the EU was a mistake" Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Comittee, Dame Emily Thornberry MP, says she wants the next Labour manifesto to include rejoining the EU, but "we need to discuss" if it should also call for freedom of movement
There's no debating that Republican economic policies do not work if you're not ultra wealthy. Reagan was sworn in 56 years ago. The GOP cut everything they swore would fix the economy. The economy is more broken than in the Great Depression. The "party of economics" is economically incompetent.
if youre lobbying for people to use a social media app that has a built in child pornography generator im going to make some assumptions about you
The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT IN "THE GOLDBERGS," IN THE PRESUMPTIVE 80s THE KID HAD THE REISSUE OPTIMUS PRIME WITH THE SHORTER SMOKESTACKS FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND HIS GRANDFATHER(?) DRESSED UP SPECIFICALLY LIKE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OPTIMUS PRIME, WITH YELLOW ARM-ARROWS AND THE LIVE-ACTION MOVIE AUTOBOT SYMBOL
Daniel@deargodwhaat.bsky.social · yesterdayPrompts a fun question: whats the most niche historical inaccuracy in a piece of work that annoys you Not like 'oh they were referring to the wrong king' , more 'they had the wrong king on a banknote in one scene'
MASH was full of historical inaccuracies, but Radar having an issue of THE AVENGERS a full fifteen years too early really set off my Comic Book Guy tendencies.

If I had .1% of Chuck Tingle's creative vision (and output, for that matter), I would be unstoppable. I am, however, content to live in a world that has given us the treasure that is Chuck Tingle.

i always thought that death began the same day you stopped learning new things, the day you decided to stop trying to grow or change. How are people out here belligerently refusing to change or adapt at all??? im going feral
I really think more people should read Jacques Ellul’s “Propaganda: the Formation of Men’s Attitudes.” It’s so good.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · 2d agoWe’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
The targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2d agoUh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?
Keep writing. You didn’t create all these fictional people and ruin their lives just to abandon them halfway through.
Being trans isn't a choice. The only choice is: 1. Be in the closet and miserable 2. Transition and deal with the hate
If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.
