I've put the Christmas Tree up at work, so I suppose it's officially festive season. Which means it's time for Bruce Springsteen being horny at Christmas.

Wondering how many people they surveyed are men who think that their favourite action film can't be a Christmas film, because Christmas films are for women / children.
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.

Listening to Last Christmas because it is an all-time banger and George didn't die on Christmas Day for you to disrespect his memory by participating in Whamageddon

A fun thing to think about while watching James Bond is how Bond is a reflection of male beauty standards. Up 'til the end of Brosnan's run Bond has a hairy chest. As soon as Casino Royale happens, Bond is shaved smooth. Like a dolphin.

This has been my favourite episode of Doctor Who since it aired. It's beautiful and sad and Peter Capaldi is just really fucking tremendous in it.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

I know I'm really boring on social media because I'm not funny or hugely interesting, but then sometimes I see what people post on their own feeds and I'm just like, well at least I'm not *that* boring? So what I'm saying is, yes, I am a hypocritical bitch.

This is really good. What absolutely gets me is that the AI generated images are so...cute? Like they do not fit the aesthetics of CodBlops at all?
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
