GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
OH NO I tried to find a GIF of the Monty Python And The Holy Grail scene, where King Arthur goes "Old woman!" at the peasant man. I searched for "Monty Python old woman" POOR CAROL CLEVELAND SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS
I wish people focussed on *what people are not allowed to do in bathrooms*, not who's in there. You're ALREADY not allowed to assault people, or be a voyeur, or kidnap children, etc. Laws already exist, to protect everyone from everyone. Assuming trans people are an automatic threat is pathetic.
In the future, people will ask why Americans weren't shooting ICE agents, but we can't ask the same question today. Because TALKING ABOUT proportionate community-level self-defense is mischaracterized as endorsing violence, whilst people are DOING real violence offline, where mods fear to tread.
@pierrenovellie.bsky.social I've been catching up on the earliest Button Boyses... About 007: First Light, I can't see a shred of Cruise in that face. When the face reveal happened, all I thought was "that's what Bear Grylls thinks he looks like."
To anyone celebrating the erosion of trans rights: How many trans women & men have you met? Walked by in a bathroom? Shared a changing space with? The only honest answer is YOU DON'T KNOW, which kind of undermines your whole crusade, don't you think? Go fuck yourselves. Thanks.
90s: spellcheck can help, but check it didn't mess up a word 2000s: predictive text can help, but check it didn't mess up a sentence 2010s: voice to text can help, but check it didn't mess up a message 2020s: AI can help...
No usually one for the pop culture discussions, but... Aunt Sissy IS Harmony's mother. Bet you a Mars Bar. A #Severance thread. - If your bio mother had a severed version, you might call them "aunt" - Harmony was sure reintegration was impossible. She tried it, & failed to get her mother back 1/
I've been enjoying Severance, & there's something I hope I'm wrong about. I started wondering if the name "Reghabi" was chosen because it sounds like ruh guh bee, or R G B (red green blue), the primary colours of light (lumon). That might be a bit much. Fingers crossed it's just a name.
You can’t expect people to do anything practical in response to Trump/Musk when they don’t even have the integrity to close their Twitter accounts.
The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive. Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!
It's fucking wild to me that the UK government pays over £20 BILLION in housing benefit annually, to help people pay rent. Don't worry, I'm not saying that low-income and unemployed/disabled people shouldn't be helped. I'm saying that's a lot of money to put directly in the pockets of landlords!

This will never not be hilarious. @zafarcakes.bsky.social & @5teviem.bsky.social & Bilal's dad. And the credits say @herring1967.bsky.social but I don't think he could make it on the day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVmc...

For discussions about alt text on media, I saw this simple guide doing the rounds. I like to call it the caption-ybara, but I don't think that name is going to catch on. #AltText #accessibility #disability #VisualImpairment #VisuallyImpaired #ScreenReader
Please don't use "fancy" or non-standard text in your posts (characters that look like letters, but weren't typed directly into the app or website). This is how hard you're making it for some users, regardless of whether or not you think it looks hard to read. #accessibility youtu.be/XqY_yWwOuVY
