Weird, my Spotify Unwrapped forgot to show me how much of my subscription money went to the artists I listened to. Ah well! Perhaps next year.

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides.
Keir Starmer
100%
He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

Seeing people who ought to know better cheering to see a fourth night of WWE programming on US TV is a little disheartening.

Ah. I can't take the Yardbirds, even sans Crapton, seriously. Because all I can hear is "Gimme Some Money" by the Tap. I can hear the virtuosity but I can't hear any soul.

My personal low-stakes conspiracy theory is that this is all to discredit a piece of music that a) whips ass and b) is the work of an openly gay man who did an awful lot of charity work
Reminder that Whamaggeddon is absolute loser behaviour. It's one of the best Christmas songs of all time; every penny ever made from it goes to Band Aid charities; it's George fucking Michael!
"Ugh, I got Whamaggeddoned in Boots!"

Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

Absolutely insane to have spent Saturday battling crowds of shoppers and tourists in the West End, seen hordes of teenagers queuing for Korean food and Hollister Black Friday sales and sent youngest daughter off to Wembley to see a sell-out women international - and then read headlines like this.
Are there any other countries whose "patriotic" publications pay foreigners to write about what a hellhole they think their country is?

Announce a match on AEW's UK tour in December.

Seeing people blast the Amazon AI dubs but then announce they’ll be streaming Where the Winds Meet
I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

The new game "Where the Winds Meet" uses AI chat bots for NPCs. It's really uncomfortable.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'
Can't we just go back to the Zork school of NPC dialog?

Just seen an "LGB" gay man say he's all about "pride but the original version"
Yeah, uhhh, who's gonna tell him the original pride was a riot started by a black trans woman?
There would be no pride without us, working WITH our gay, lesbian and bisexual brothers and sisters to demand it

I've been avoiding spoilers: both Continental Classic leagues look loaded this year. Only Kevin Knight and Mascada Dorada have zero chance of winning more than a single upset. I only really enjoy league wrestling if it's relatively unpredictable, so this should be a good one.
