Goodbye to the Port and Brandy, to the Vodka and the Stag,
To the Schmiddick and the Harpic, the bottled draught and keg.
As I sat lookin' up the Guinness ad I could never figure out
How your man stayed up on the surfboard after 14 pints of stout.

JK Rowling claims to want to protect women but let's not forget that she gave an invisibility cloak and a map that gives you live updates on where everyone is to a teenage boy.

Catching up with Big Picture draft episodes and Sean asking "is A Knight's Tale a good film" in the 2001 draft has irrationally pissed me off. He didn't even ask it a snarky way, it was a genuine question as though he hadn't seen it or didn't remember it which in a way makes it so much worse.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday.

O'Leary said on RTÉ Radio that there’s been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.

“The ‘grown women’ of Ireland remember very well what erasure and control and lack of bodily autonomy feel like and it’s for this very reason that we stand so passionately with the trans community today”

I am NEVER going to understand y’all going to Twitter to see the terrible things they’re saying and sharing with people who left Twitter because of all the terrible things they’re saying.

If we wanted to see it, we would. You don’t have to report back Barbara Walters!

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
