Okay, if people are going to share screenshots of other people being transphobic, could you please put some kind of moderation tag on them?
I've seen the same Graham Linehan post a dozen times this morning now, and it's upsetting me.

My little sister had a Talking Teddy Ruxpin back in the 90s.
When the batteries got low it used to randomly start talking, but groaning it in a low pitched voice, in the middle of the fucking night, and scare the shit out of us.
It also picked up emergency services radio broadcasts on road trips.

I will say, if you can't even remember you have a child in the back you're probably not fit to be driving *at all* - but of course this isn't about improving road safety.
Exclusive: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat.

The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

I was convinced I was going to lose that tooth, and half of it basically disintegrated as soon as the dentist touched it, but he somehow managed to rescue it, and it has a new temporary cap on it.
My whole face is swollen right now, but he assured me it would settle down in a couple of days.
