Mackenzie Crook has become the antidote to Ricky Gervais's cruel comedy
Crook looks for the humanity in everyone - Gervais only points out their stupidity

Fair play to grandad - he knew never to sit on anything that didn't have a good wide flared base on it.

Every Wednesday I go to yoga with a retired gay man and then we go back to his house and eat the dinner his husband cooked for us while we were out, and when I told them some of the stuff the UK government are doing to trans people they literally said "it's happening again!"
HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

Toad looked at the sunshine coming through the window. “Frog,” he said, “I am so glad that you came over.”
“I always do,” said Frog.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

Ah yes artists, famously undedicated to their work, never obsessive, who don’t understand {checks notes} creating things.
This shit right here is why people hate you AI assholes. Myopic and arrogant.
You’re not creating or iterating anything? You literally invented a soulless box to do it for you.

Paused before I got started, do I could grab a bedtime milkshake. Now I'm ready!
Won't really be commenting on this one. The important think is Illya is like catnip, Napoleon is a little jealous, Angela Lansbury is having a great time!

🧵Spotted on Sunday Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
An athletic woman (40s?) is walking with a teen (14?) towards the markets. With a cheerful smile at the blue sky overhead she says: "It's such a nice day, we shoulda gone bare feet!" (1)

To celebrate here’s a lovely naturalistic painting of a hippo on a small flake of limestone. Painted by an Egyptian artist some 3,500 years ago!

The BBC reporting on Beth Upton’s current employment situation is definitely not in the public interest, and it is insane how much the British press freely get away with harassing her for the crime of simply living her life existing as a trans person in the UK.
