Fantastically beautiful.

I have decided that what the world desperately needs is more Terry Pratchett. Go find someone who hasn't read him yet and force them to do so, Clockwork Orange style.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

@patstaresat.bsky.social ok, I'm racking my brain here and I have to ask... Did you invent the phrase "number go up"?

Undertale. It changed what I thought media could be, how stories could be told, and honestly made me a slightly better person.

Side note, did Busta Rhymes break some kinda record with Taking Everything? Bro spat the entire steel mill.

Saw Bad Guys 2. This animation is so good, guys. Holy shit. Outrageously gorgeous. It's a bit dumb, but then they're trying to steal something called "Mcguffinite", so being clever is obviously not the point. Great time.

I suppose this is the point when I should say again that:

the amount of money the videogames industry brings into the UK economy every year is *more than double* the value of the fishing and steel industries *combined*

what this country is really good at is producing culture

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · Aug 17

yes. yes yes.

the UK is (not just the originator but) the setting for some of the most popular culture in the world. there is a whole genre of videogames that are set in an imagined Britain. 'soft' power is real economic and even political power.

Stephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · Aug 16

Agree. One thing that I really liked about @jpspencer.bsky.social’s Labour Together report is it included culture in “growth spending”. So much policy about regional development in the UK basically regards culture, tourism, etc. as distractions from the real work of building trains to nowhere.

Yknow, I think one of the most interesting things that came out of that game was "We cannot have a Utopia before we first have a Utopian." Utopia is a people, not a place.

I use 1 half of common letter pairings. So T goes together with H and R a lot, so I can de-prioritise those letters in many cases.

I know lots of these people. They would claim not to, they just can't spot their own cognitive dissonance. SOME would, but most just aren't thinking.

People often use the defence that trans people "have the opportunity to sexually gratify themselves" in single sex spaces.
I am a gay man. Should I be barred from male toilets? Male prisons? What's the logic here?
