Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. A tale of tragedy and destiny. Was Captain Ahab called Captain Ahab because he was Assigned Hunter At Birth? Or because All Hunters Are Bastards?

SECONDED, also, the thing that annoys me MOST about the stupid Plagiarism GenAI BarfBot Apologists is their claim that it is ABSOLUTELY INEVITABLE, like

What is WRONG with you?

Oh it's INEVITABLE? Really? Push a button, get a handful of warm NutraLoaf? That HAS to happen? You HAVE to have it?!

okay, if you think gAI is a positive, that its "here to stay", and you're so proud of using gAI to write create art, claim it. Disclose when you use it to read, write, think, create.
Have the integrity to publicly declare that you used gAI--its all the silence and secrecy that is so interesting.

Political parties banned from Manchester, London, Birmingham and Brighton Prides this year.

Statements in the images.

STANDING TOGETHER: A UNITED FRONT FOR TRANS RIGHTS
As the organisers of the UK's largest Pride events in Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester, we come together today in unequivocal solidarity with our trans community.
We are united not only in message, but in purpose.
At a time when trans rights in the UK are under growing attack, our resolve has never been stronger: we will not allow progress to be undone.
We will not stand by as the dignity, safety, and humanity of our trans siblings are debated, delayed, or denied.
What is happening here in the UK is not isolated. It is part of a disturbing global trend-from the banning of Pride events in Hungary to anti-trans legislation in the United States-where LGBTQ+ rights are being systematically rolled back.
The UK must not follow this path of regression. Instead, it must rise as a global leader in human rights and equality.
The recent ruling by the UK Supreme Court to exclude trans women from the definition of the term 'woman' underscores the urgent need for immediate action. In this moment, we choose to stand firmer, louder, and prouder in demanding change that protects and uplifts trans lives.
That is why this year, we are collectively suspending political party participation in our Pride events.
Know that this is not a symbolic gesture. It is a direct call for accountability and a refusal to platform those who have not protected our rights. We demand real commitments and measurable progress. The Pride movement was born from protest, and we must continue to embody that spirit with intention and urgency.

To move forward, we need more than promises. We need every political party to stand unequivocally with every member of the LGBTQ+ community, and to centre the voices of trans people in policy, practice, and public life. Collectively, we call for:
• Full and enforceable protections under the Equality Act
• Timely and dignified access to NHS gender-affirming healthcare
• A reformed, accessible Gender Recognition Certificate process
• Sustainable funding for trans-led services and support organisations across the UK
This is the minimum. Anything less is not allyship, it is abandonment.
To those in power: when you demonstrate true solidarity and tangible commitment to trans rights, we will stand with you. Until then, we will continue to speak truth to power and fight for a future where every trans person can live safely, freely, and proudly.
As Pride events across the UK face mounting challenges, our resolve only grows stronger. We will not be silenced. We will not be divided. Together, we will build a national movement rooted in justice, unity, and unapologetic pride.
Now, more than ever, we need everyone to show up for trans lives and show up for Pride.
In solidarity,
Birmingham Pride
Brighton Pride Pride in London Manchester Pride

Anyone who’s taken a bunch of primary kids on a school trip will know that even if the parents don’t speak English, you can’t even hear an accent by the time these kids have been in school for a year or two (it’s magical) so y’know if you think language is a big migration issue, you’re just a bigot.
