"Sure did, ladies. Proper banger: catchy chorus, synth hooks, guitar solo, driving beat, the works"
"Sounds good, let's hit the studio"

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Just popped over to BBC2 for a few minutes of snowboarding. Couldn't fucking stand Flat Bear in 1999, and time hasn't mellowed me on it #TOTP

An obscure detail in early Pokemon games:
In the Pewter City Pokemart in Gen 1, there is an NPC complaining that he was ripped off by a Magikarp salesman. But if you visit the same building in Gen 2, you can find the same person bragging about a Gyarados he's trained.

No idea if me using this will make any difference, but it can't hurt
New pronoun labeller just dropped! Instructions are in the thread and as this is something that becomes more useful the more people are using it, plz do pass it along
The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

So a Norwegian biathlete cheated on his girlfriend at the Olympics (many such cases) and then told her about it on the phone (fair play) she dumped him (which I respect) and he then gave an interview where he told the whole world about everything in an attempt to do penance or something
What happened? WHAT DID I MISS? Sounds interesting.....

So RTÉ (Ireland's national broadcaster), showed Formula 1 here from 1995 to 2004.
This was their promo/advert for the 1999 Spanish GP.
One of the most baffling/somewhat funny things I've ever watched. What were they sniffing when deciding this was a good idea 😂
