Yep, nobody else confused about how the NHS can't give people a goddamn psychiatrist/psychologist but can somehow provide the resources to foist another bloody minded beurocrat at you? All these things inevitably cost more than just giving people what is needed.

if governments really cared about the mental health of their citizens they'd adequately fund the people who can do something about it. instead, they're putting job coaches in gp surgeries and mental health places. because they don't you healthy, they want you productive for a bit until you burn out.

I thought that Hux was a neat character in the first film, Gleeson gave him a lot of weight as this horrible little fascist in a version of the Empire where that ideology was as much a driving force as the Sith/force stuff.

So they open TLJ with him as a comedy character who gets Marvel quipped at.

Bootleggirl on twitter writes: "I still dislike the Star Wars sequels but I can't no longer fault them for running with the premise of "20 years after fascism, same fascism again, but stupider" bc I just lived through that.

Oh no my Grinning Man autism has been activated again and now it's going to be all I can think about for a while.

God I wish that show would come back to London, I'm so glad there was a production in Australia last year rather than being gone altogether, but that's a bit of a commute.

"The consumers won't care if it's AI."

Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

I met Patricia Quinn at a signing at one of the 40th events, and she was so sweet, wanted to get a quick pic leaning by her signing table, and she insisted on getting up and doing like, a photoshoot with me and my friend who were both in costume.

And even at 71 her legs were better than mine.

Guess we will just have to wait for the trash people to be transphobic to our friends rather than the nearly 100% accurate "Jonathan chait follower" or "Jesse singal follower" tag when curating our user experience.

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.
