It is incredible to me how made up this issue is. No one gave a shit ten years ago. Sure there were your individual mad, ignorant bigots but *Theresa May* was pushing for self-ID because it was the last little bit of logistical sorting out of a settled question: we're ok with Trans people

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

So many problems with this article, but the moment I lost it was when, having talked about the alleged over diagnosis of mental health problems, it then starts going on about ADHD, which isn't a mental health condition.

Migraines are wacky.

The sound of quiet but intense rock/metal music: Fine!

The sound of metal clanking as I carefully lift a fork out of a drawer: Nausea-inducing!

Honestly, what are brains even doing??

It's always lovely to be able to include 'alternate versions' of real people in my scenarios. 💜
Well my copy digital copy of Terminus by @irny.bsky.social is here and it's a beaut.

When I backed it I paid to name one of the characters after my dad. A priest. Father Alan Newman. Yeah he really was, maybe not biologically but in all the important ways. 1/

reddit chat about whether the Manchester Pusher is real (theory there's a serial killer who pushes their victims in the canal), and two far better names have already been suggested, "Canal Fatale" and "Jack the Dipper" honestly not sure which I like more

People act like art of any kind is "inaccessible" when what they really mean is they arent immediately good at it

Like Fuck man learning how to make the thing is part of the fun, growing stronger, better, more confident

These people are stealing their own future joy for the sake of hustle
Homie, my brother in Arceus. What do you mean by making music is inaccessible?? I learned through watching 360p YouTube videos on a barely working laptop with totally legal software as a high schooler 😭

Made this using AI? Nah man, that’s actual fraud behavior. No respect for the art or yourself

This is a slightly baffling case: it's a perfectly good, solid, bus shelter. It's been well-maintained and forms an attractive part of the local historic environment (which is otherwise blighted by the motorcar - if ever a high street would benefit from pedestrianisation it's Sheringham).
⚠️ Stand-off in Sheringham: Local campaigners have spent the past three nights camping out overnight in an extraordinary bid to save a 1950s Streamline Moderne style bus shelter in Norfolk, thwarting council contractors who attempted to demolish the structure at 2am.

It turns out that the extra bits I've been putting in the TERMINUS packages put them about 5g into a higher weight category for postage... 🤦🏻‍♀️

*Perhaps* I should have weighed these earlier

Well, never mind! I may just have to jimmy things around a bit.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.
