Ask me about Hotel Del Luna, I want everyone to watch it. :)
I like cats, art, info about early years education and neurodivergence.
And Hotel Del Luna.
If I follow you I don't expect you do it back, don't feel like you have to. :)

I'll say it again: watching Robert Jenrick do "cunning politics" is like watching a toddler hide behind a cushion.
"Where's Robert gone? THERE HE IS! Oh no! Where is he? THERE HE IS!"

This is why it always pisses me off when I'm watching a bad movie and people tell me "No it's good, you just have to turn your brain off in order to enjoy it." No. A good movie gives your brain things to think about. Even if it's just a kid's movie from 40 years ago. Detail should be its own reward.

Sarah's bedroom in the movie Labyrinth is one of the best examples of set design as environmental storytelling and foreshadowing/backstory in the history of cinema. Everyone knows it is filled with things that you see later in the film, but there's even more that you don't notice at a glance.

As always, 2 things can be true at once:
1. Any police force using AI to generate reports & evidence for their decisions should be disciplined & heads should roll
2. The ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans was likely justified due to real risk of racist, violent hooliganism #r4today

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Feel so much for Sarah, having done all this training, to have to pull out. Yet to be prepared to face the risk in the first place for other people says a lot about who she is. The GoFundMe is still open- can their threats increase how much she raises?

A woman was pulled out of Britain’s most gruelling ultra marathon after receiving death threats over her fundraising for Afghan women and girls.
Sarah Porter was nearly a third of the way through the 108-mile Montane Winter Spine Challenger South endurance race when organisers made the “difficult decision” to withdraw her, due to threats to her life in relation to the charity she runs helping women and girls in war zones.

Being shoved to the ground and threatened with arrest by the police at the Sarah Everard vigil was probably the single most radicalising moment of my life. But everything about her murder showed the terrifying violent and exculpatory potential of the British state.
The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

It’s a lawless totalitarian occupation of an American city.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

you can't ban social media for kids if you also don't allow them to exist in physical spaces. you either get kids at the mall or kids on social media. you can't just put kids in solitary confinement. i'm so tired of this shit.
Banning social media for kids may be good or bad but that guy is a comically obvious bullshit artist with entire books full of trite lessons extrapolated from anecdotes that are themselves barely half-true.
