Night 2 of The Art of Dying horror marathon - The Devil’s Rejects. Rob Zombie gets a budget and manages to create a movie that combines the violence of The Wild Bunch into the horror of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Are we SURE that brain worm was removed from Jibber Jabber Bobby's brain?! Circumcised boys have more chance of autism?! WTF!

Hilarious how TPUSA wants to counter Bad Bunny - a global megastar - and one of the biggest shows in any given year on television... with their own halftime show. Prob have Tom McDonald and Fergatio Blow doing their style of propaganda crap.

I know it's easier to put Westwood as a former BBC Radio DJ but don't forget Global via Capital Xtra had him employed too after he was no longer at the BBC.

Can't say I'm surprised - given Jay's crashing out and their insistence on keeping Singal on.

I'll go even further than just needing to ask permission

any AI model which uses other people's data or work should ask for permission AND offer compensation. Any AI model which doesn't do this should be immediately deleted - not reworked to take stuff out - wholesale deleted and you start again.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

this is the guy responsible for the decimation of trans healthcare

this is a good example of how ppl refuse to acknowledge that transphobia causes problems

if there'd been pushback on him then we wouldn't be here now

the government used us trans ppl as a blueprint now they're using it on others

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 2d

Just as we are beginning to understand the biochemical basis of this horrendous condition, the government appoints the man perhaps most responsible for the mischaracterisation of ME/CFS – Simon Wesseley - to its *overdiagnosis* commission. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/controv...

if you don't understand that putin is running a capitalist oligarchy then you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Well I guess I made it in DISCOURSE when Trevor backwards is QTing me XD (Basically commenting on IWTV still being only 720p max quality while Drew of Beyond's moaning re Youtube getting more live wrestling.)

Matt D (he/Him) @legionaod.bsky.social · 2d

So GB News were found guilty of breaching the code as I and 71k others were right to point out BUT NO PUNISHMENT?! 1. I wouldn't call that a victory Good Law Project in hindsight and 2. time to bring down Ofcom... it is clearly not fit for purpose.

The first part of my spooky movie marathon titled The Art of Dying (and yes Terrifier trilogy is coming...) is here: open.substack.com/pub/theharve...

The Art Of Dying Part 1- Fireflies and Jigsaws!

So this year is the first time in a while I’m doing a spooky movie season - that ends just after Halloween because I can!

I'd say both are temu Reform. Greens - maybe in coalition with SNP and a Zarah led, bigots removed party - are the only opposition now. Lib Dems are just... there.

Matt D (he/Him) @legionaod.bsky.social · 2d

Have to laugh at Corderio being scared of more companies going to Youtube because it'll mess up Beyond - a company still willing to book a Gulak in 2025. Both are creeps and bad to have around.

Given Jenrick’s abhorrent racism being highlighted today… you do wonder if there will be defections back when the inevitable happens to Kemi.

Matt D (he/Him) @legionaod.bsky.social · 2d

Now I may be misremembering this but I’m sure there’s a BBC clip with either Chris Mason or Nick Robinson interviewing Tim Montgomerie where he admits if Jenrick had won he’d still be a Tory…

You haven’t misremembered! I remember Ian Hislop and Paul Merton bringing it up on an old HIGNFY compilation DVD.

Lib Dems are just… there. No relevance since they cosied up to what WAS right-wing in the UK.
