So turns out in the UK, it’s only a crime to sexually harass a child over the course of several weeks if she’s NOT transgender. Live and learn.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been cleared of harassing a transgender activist, but was found guilty of criminal damage to her mobile phone.

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is still one of the prettiest anime I've ever seen. The color palette has rich earthy tones that make the world feel real.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Labour is actively wasting our money for the sole purpose of being cruel to people who have done nothing wrong
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

I wonder if tech creeps are gonna do what the automotive industry did when they invented the crime of jaywalking to shift the blame for safety issues onto the public
re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

I think my favorite subgenre of cartoon intro are where they go over the premise & backstory; but because it's based on an adult property they need to hastily recast everything to be child-friendly. Please, I swear nothing r-rated happens, please buy your kids a lunchbox, please I'm begging you-
