I've had to show my MP that they're not even hiding the comically evil side of things. They're named after the artifact used by Sauron to spy on the people of Middle-Earth, and their UK head's grandfather led the British Union of Fascists.

The school I work at has a policy. If a student/customer asks "do you have English for <topic>?" then the management will always say "yes", then come up with a syllabus later. I am now a teacher of "English for the supernatural and paranormal".
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
I do think it's amusing that the UK's new one-way effector drone (the effect being, "boom") is called "Nyan"

It's called "enshittification". Strengthen publishers and shareholders, weaken beloved media. With remakes this can be done imperceptibly over time.
We couldn't find the dragon in our last round of D&D, so the final boss of the chapter was a giant pineapple, who had been terrorising the village.

I remember at school in the early 2000s, we trained a Markov chain-baser chatbot user megabytes of erotic fiction. When asked a question, it could often give a sensible answer based on probability modelling, but then it would spew paragraphs of obscene gibberish like this
