pros to making me james bond:

* surname is as close as makes no difference, same number of letters overall, so you can do a cool fade in transition costing ten million pounds
* twenty six movies about bond applying for visas which you can film in my kitchen, thus clawing back the £10m

People in the UK aren't getting transphobia from weird niche online communities.

They're getting it from the prime minister, the BBC, politicians and the newspapers in every newsagents in the country.
when this piece of shit is asked what good phone pouches are supposed to do, shs responds glibly about online radicalisation. where else would children learn to be transphobic in the tolerant UK, after all? ridiculous
On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

Right. I’m not paying a licence fee to see BBC News become even more like Fox News to 1.2 billion page visits a month. if they are going to be captured by fascists they can do it commercially. Being very charitable they can spin off BBC News and sell it and we keep radio 4 and Songs of praise
Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.

I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:

One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing

And then you'll say. Wait a second.

Fuck 'em

All you need to know.

Sonia Sodha, Emily Maitlis, Helen Joyce and Hannah Barnes have all had their say in the media in the last 24 hours.
How many trans people have the BBC had on this week discussing the BBC's pro-trans bias?

Zero.

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

"Ah, yes, the BBC is fostering a genocide against trans people, but on the other hand they make Eastenders so who can say if they are good or bad?"
I reckon a shared national popular culture is just as important (if not more important) than a fact based, impartial news service for liberal democracy to work.

TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.

Some folks feel really validated by having keys jingled at them and are just excited to have a machine that can jingle an infinite variety of keys in an unlimited number of patterns
People defending the chatbot NPC situation in Petit Planet insist that you can't expect a writer to come up with appropriate responses to anything a player might ask

I'd argue the NPC chatbot doesn't seem to be able to do this either, contradicting itself and stating generic gibberish.

Players of the beta for upcoming Hoyo title Petit Planet have noticed there’s an AI chatbot featured and at least one barista NPC whose dialogue is generated by AI

Fans of their titles are defending it saying “this is a good use of AI” and “you can’t stop AI at this point.”

This is from the TOS:

Can we stop this “parents know best” not always - LGBTQ people have to find community and find their own way because usually their parents know jack shit about being LGBTQ and that’s just facts!
