Ah, this warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart. Wait til you see the price a TERF had to pay for lying about a trans woman. "...also be required to publish a court-approved apology that must remain pinned on their social media channels for three months" www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/an-a...

An anti-trans activist lied about a trans athlete injuring cis women. Now she has to pay the price. - LGBTQ Nation

Kirralie Smith admitted in court she didn't have any evidence to back up her claim about a trans woman injuring two cis women.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

As I've said before, the biggest damage to a sense of pop music history was that the Boomers came up at the same time as the switch from 78s to 45s so all the radio stations threw out their Louis Jordan records and an "oldie" was something from the last five years.

The way the history of pop was warped by boomer criticism/historiography into a hard dividing line between a supposed glop past and Elvis-and-everything-after with a rock focus was a massive reductive mistake that is still playing out.

See? Sometimes cops do face legal consequences!

if an elite lobbying effort can convince you that you have to ban trans people from sports to survive in politics you straightforwardly do not have it in you to pass electoral reform, or stand up to the fossil fuel lobby, or do any of the difficult things that have to be done

The thing about the @amnestyuk.bsky.social grovelling apology is that it won't make the supporters of anti-rights groups like them, let alone give them money. What it *will* do is piss off exactly the kind of people they rely on for regular donations. Appeasing bullies never ends well.

It's a sad sign of the times that Wonder Man, which was really fun, quite lovely, AND earned its lead an Emmy nomination (deservedly), has been unrenewed. Even if there were sound business reasons for this, Jesus, what does a show gotta do to get multiple seasons in the current tv hellscape?

ever single regulation is in place because capitalists will poison you and everyone you know to save a few pennies on every single unit they make. they will cut every corner when not forced to be safe by goverments. "costly regulation" is lifesaving regulations

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

Calculators run objective computations. ChatGPT runs weighed pattern association, not based on what is true or anything else, just what is most commonly associated. Which means if I train it on Twitter it will start insisting that the Holocaust never happened within a single afternoon.

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Weird how these freaks are convinced it was a horrible disease grown in a lab but also nothing to worry about and masks were foolish.

Rep. Lauren Boebert insists that public Christian worship events are necessary for America to experience revival: "I don't think that Jesus ever called for any Christian to pray only silently or to keep their faith hidden only in the prayer closet."

This is definitely a normal thing that happens in sane, civilised societies.

Bill Oddie, what a lovely bloke. He wrote us a letter when we started making The Young Ones, wishing us the very best, and warning us against interference from higher up. He didn’t know anyone in the cast personally. It just came out of the blue. Lovely thing to do.

If it were the X-Men they could just rewrite Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died.”
