Across the pond, Mike Johnson won't guarantee a House vote on extending health care tax credits. Which was the whole reason those 8 Dems caved and capitulated.

Trust the Democratic Party to give us all another masterclass on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the American public.

And if anybody was wondering, the only thing Rebecca Tuvel took away from the experience was that she should double down and make this her whole deal.
"Are transgender people any different from those people who claim to be transracial? This is a question that can only be answered by me, here in my armchair."

Glad I left all of Meta's platforms back in January when Zuckerberg kissed Trump's ring. I becuase I knew this shit was inevitable, alongside transphobia, misogyny etc.

I'm not blessed with any special foresight, it just didn't take Nostradamus to predict this was what was coming.
Holy ferkin Moly, Facebook is just outright recommending far right propaganda to me... When signed in as the archaeosoup FB page.

This afternoon @ross-greer.bsky.social and I joined union organisers and sacked workers outside Rockstar Games in Edinburgh.

An allegation of union busting is one of the most serious possible breaches of fair work standards. This cannot be acceptable in any industry. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A transgender woman, Sarah Jane Riley, died in solitary confinement at Perth Prison in 2019, a day after being refused parole. An inquiry has now found that her death would have been avoided if proper suicide prevention measures had been in place.

A good wee documentary on the people of North Sentinel Island.

If you've ever thought "I like documentaries, but I wish on occasion that they had a sarcastic Brit interject with righteous anger when warranted", then you'll like what Moocake serves.

Still waiting for Tyrone to return though, IYKYK.

It was horrendous in every respect. I vividly recall an article from GamesMaster (a UK games magazine no longer in print) circa 2009-2010 about "weird" characters from mostly Japanese games.

It said of Bridget from the Guilty Gear games: "he's [sic] a bundle of wrongness". That stayed with me.
Western games journalism was horrendously racist in that era, it cannot be overstated just how fucking racist it was. You could tune into G4 and have a solid shot of Sessler saying some kind of orientalist shit or see it in any game magazine of the time. It was gross
This is from a *positive* review, where they still have to tell you this game would be NOTHING without the glorious West.

Anything a Japanese game did well in that era would be credited to a completely different culture.

I manage to succeed at this simply by choosing to keep on existing. Which sounds dark, and it is, but it's the simple choices that are often the most stark.
It's been a minor life goal for a good while now to do something major every year that would make The Family Party unhappy.

Unfortunately my planned one never happened last weekend, but I did get a big tattoo of a snake which I'm pretty sure counts to upset political Christian fundamentalists.

Frankfurt fans banned from Paris over violence. Not anti-German.

PSV Eindhoven fans banned from Paris. Not anti-Dutch.

"Rangers" fans banned from Celtic Park. Not anti-Protestant.

Legia Warsaw banned from Villa Park after injuring police officers. Not anti-Polish.

What's the difference here?

Define your music taste in 8 artists:

Difficult as I'm not really an album person, more an eclectic mix of individual songs. However, the closest to ranked groupings would be:

1 - Slade
2 - Queen
3 - Wendy Carlos
4 - John Williams
5 - Sting
6 - Kraftwerk
7 - BBC Radiophonic Workshop
8 - Epica
Define your music taste in 8 artists:

Impossible... But I'll give it a shot, lol.

1. Sublime
2. Tom Petty
3. Godsmack
4. Jesse Wells
5. James Taylor
6. Chris Stapleton
7. The Goo Goo Dolls
8. Cross Canadian Ragweed

Probably Jedi Power Battles on PS1.

As for the worst game I couldn't even finish because it was so bad, UK folks who were given a PS2 bundle for Christmas in the mid-2000s might remember a certain Smarties Meltdown.

The UK Government has been given clear warnings about the human rights implications of its crackdown on protest, and its failure to protect trans people.
Already, some within Labour are ready to join the far right in attacking the messenger and scrapping our human rights.

Goodbye to the slender-billed curlew, officially declared extinct today.

This is the first extinction from mainland Europe in centuries.
Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology
