I thought I'd have seen more constituency polling for Gorton & Denton by now. Been a while since I closely followed a by-election but I seem to recall seeing a fair amount for eg Runcorn or Hartlepool.

it’s asinine because music production is for working class people but isn’t for people who have no real interest in music production. AI generators are for the latter but realize they sound much more appealing if they pretend they’re for the former

Dr Beth Upton went to work one day to help sick people, and that is it. She's done nothing wrong (highlighted by the courts), never got involved in the media, never said a bad word about anyone, even once. And she's been hounded out of the country by bigots who hate that she exists.

Please be careful in London. I have spent 25 years there, but I have never heard a story as frightening as this one from today in which nothing at all happened.

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Senior Labour MP @florenceeshalomi.bsky.social told me: "There is a lot of concern among female parliamentarians that when we raise things we are not taken seriously, and that is part of the toxicity around the leadership in No 10… we need to make sure we have reset on that.”
there’s a longer version here in which our hero follows up by telling him “you can go peacefully fuck yourself” after he claims to be “peacefully standing for my beliefs”

The funniest part about this line of thinking is later Clive Barker revealed just how homophobic his publisher was, and I think about the number of times this has happened that we will never hear about. www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/0/clive-b...

It's crazy that, in terms of video storage, 50 short years is the difference between losing TV footage forever because video tape was too precious a resource not to reuse, and Ring doorbells keeping everyone's footage on their servers in case they might, at some indeterminate point, pay to view it.
