There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

I saw this, checked... And they did it to me, too.

Now back without Copilot.
Microsoft is going to price gouge you by adding their genAI to your subscription without your consent, and they are not transparent about how to avoid this bullshit.

Here's how to change your subscription back to "Classic" for a lower charge without Copilot: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffi...

The Exalted campaign has hiy the inevitable (as every other one always has before it, regardless of edition) - the Solars have entered Yu Shan, without knowing Certain Things.

I know I've said as much myself more than once but it pretty much always bears repeating in a biz where too many customers act like you're trying to cheat them asking for more than 30 bucks for a fully illustrated, professionally written book.
Tabletop RPG books aren't overpriced. Not even the ones that just had price hikes.
They're specialty technical creative writing social interaction manuals.
At x2 current prices, they wouldn't be overpriced.
This is a huge part of why most ttRPG creators leave the industry.

It is 2010. I am reading an overly-ambitious ePM (Enterprise Project Management) implementation plan with deep sceptisism.

It is 2015. I am freshly redundant after the ePM that got brought in years after the 2010 ePM was abandoned midway turned out to do my job for me.

A note for American followers ;what actually happened in Parliament today was that Labour succeeded in protecting a bill (aimed at protecting children) from being killed off by opportunistic Tory addition of yet another inquiry adding to existing inquiries they failed to act on.
