a good reminder most people who actually know trans people have no problem with us and the entire genocidal movement is astroturfed by a handful of billionaires and has nowhere near the amount of people behind it that you’d think it does from its cultural footprint

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to add value.

Speaking of British 80s TV (vaguely) the Leslie Nielsen ads for a shitty cider from the 80s deserve rewatching, if only for one genius cameo (and to practice your German on the subtitles)

If there is a way to fix this other than a new Terror, I do not at this stage know what it is. These people are whipping themselves up into a furious bloody frenzy to literally replicate the horrors of Nazism.

Lots of takes on "We Built This City" today, apparently.
It's not a song I have ever deliberately chosen to listen to, but its status as canonical "worst song ever" is far more tedious than the song itself. It's neither bad enough nor interesting enough to be worth the performative hatred.

But don't you see? If ADHDers like me get diagnosed and treated, we might have happy, fulfilled, lives not completely eaten up by the self-loathing and guilt that are the only things that allow us to even semi-function.
And people who don't hate themselves make Wes Streeting bitterly jealous.

An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

Last reskeet made me think, maybe I should do a daily "advent calendar" thread of not-awful Christmas songs. I will include Slade, Wizzard, and McCartney because they're amazing, but few of the other played-to-death ones.

Today's non-awful Christmas song advent calendar track is another a capella one, the Monkees performing the sixteenth century villancico "Riu Chiu".
Yes, they *could* sing that well.

Reading a Python book for work. It's been a couple of decades since I last looked at Python, but every page or so there's a "Gotcha!" section where it describes some stupid thing that Python does, and I'm reminded why I stopped using it the first time.

With the labour MP of the day, you understand why they regularly do things like proposing to make an existing crime illegal. They don't know how anything works.

Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

Hi @moderation.bsky.app
I would like an explanation for why a disabled queer survivor (me) talking about the treatment they receive from the UK government has had that post labelled "intolerant".
This is completely unacceptable.
