I will never forgive Moffatt for his portrayal of Churchill. I mean yeah, so many other things too but that’s the one that’s really getting to me right now.

It’s a shame that when people (Terry Pratchett in this example) were voicing concerns as far back as 1995, that they were dismissed. Imagine if they’d been taken seriously and we didn’t have the general shit show that is our current political situation.

“How are the Missy figures coming along?”
“We’ve run out of money to design a new head.”
“Just stick Captain Jack’s head on but change the hair so it isn’t obvious, no one will notice.”
It’s not just me right?

Well that’s that. There were only six people but they were all lovely and clued up.
Will it change anything? I don’t know. I know the person we met with is going to try. I’m tired of signing petitions that go nowhere, I’m tired of shouting online into a vacuum, atleast this is something productive

I have a meeting today with a member of the government to raise objections and concerns to the EHRCs guidance.
If you have concerns throw them at me now, I want to make sure I raise as much as possible and not just my white trans woman point of view.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds
give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!

Initial thoughts on Bye Sweet Carole from playing a bit last night.
- Hot damn this game is beautiful. The animation & storytelling is reminiscent of Don Bluth's more iconic work & is mostly fluid
- the controls can be a little finicky but overall the movement isn't bad
- the plot is intriguing

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Brewfest has changed! I’m sure the last time I played WoW properly it was just a lil thing, you had the dungeon, then at Dun Murough (I can’t spell that tonight) there was the area where you could buy drinks and every so often a mole machine would pop up? There was ram racing but not much else.
