Be careful, there is a new scam going around.

If you see a wooden box filled with food, DON'T GO IN. A wall will fall behind you and you'll be stuck.

We need to make sure that everyone involved in this is remembered by history as hatefully as everyone involved in Section 28

This year I’ve been trying to make my garden more friendly to bees by planting wildflowers that provide lots of pollen and nectar. The flowers are here now and it’s amazing to see a plan come together and loads of happy bees everywhere ❤️

british fan chat

cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:

[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]

1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.

2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.

3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here.

4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft,

and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.

5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what you’re
thinking, lads:

6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?

7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018...

8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh…

TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate

9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.

By the time they remember,
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.

10
TOWER FAN 1:
So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out...

11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.

12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

Feeling very depressed recently. CFz helped a lot, but it’s over now and I’m kinda stuck again. Taking a day to myself to rest and see if it helps.

C-SPAN call-ins right now are a wild ride. Someone wanting Trump to “purge the government of career criminals”. Another had written a poem thanking God for giving Trump “angel wings”.

This is not neutrality. This is endorsement.

Get the fuck off of Facebook, Instagram and Threads. NOW.

www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Today, Platformer is sharing some of those guidelines.

In an answer to the question “Do insults about mental illness and abnormality violate when targeting people on the basis of gender or sexual orientation?” Meta now answers “no.” It gave the following examples of posts that do not violate its policies:

Non-violating: "Boys are weird."
Non-violating: "Trans people aren't real. They're mentally ill."
Non-violating: "Gays are not normal."
Non-violating: "Women are crazy."
Non-violating: "Trans people are freaks."

And in a follow-up questions about whether denying that a protected class violates the hateful content policy, Meta also answers no. It gave these as examples of posts that are now allowed on Facebook and Instagram:

"There's no such thing as trans children."
"God created two genders, 'transgender' people are not a real thing."
"This whole nonbinary thing is made up. Those people don't exist, they're just in need of some therapy."
"A trans woman isn't a woman, it's a pathetic confused man."
"A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it."

Coyote and fam baking cookies (don’t worry the coyote is fireproof and needs no glove)

A scene of a bright sunlit kitchen with one adult coyote sitting on the tiled floor surrounded by five eager coyote pups. There is wood cabinetry and a white oven with the door down, and a sheet of fresh hot cookies is pulled out by the fireproof paws of the adult coyote. One coyote pup perches on the counter top, looking down at the enticing treats. Three pups are clambering atop the adult and each other with eager expressions.

A large window with sheer curtains and a hanging spider plant is in the background. A sack of flour and metal mixing bowl can be seen on the countertop in the mid foreground, and in the foreground, the ears and back of head of the fifth coyote pop into frame.

I'm not even mad, this is just hilarious, imagine getting so ass-mad about my opinions on a convention that you think I'm asking them to serve drugs at the breakfast buffet
