Shame they have to filter some providers out, but honestly that saves a lot of messing about.

it has taken a while (and I'm only just finding out cos renewals), but Compare the Market have finally added the option to not provide gender by letting you pick Mx or Dr and not having a secondary gender field (or the clumsy "Dr (male)" and "Dr (female)" options they used to have).

Screenshot from Compare The Market car insurance. Cropped to "What’s your name? If you select ‘Dr’ or ‘Mx’ as your title, you may see fewer results. A small number of providers are still updating their systems to support these options. We’re working closely with them to ensure complete availability."

Can they get a better sponsor that won't make a ToS update to allow transphobia on their platform the same week the episode airs this time ? Stay tuned to find out !

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

Fuck AI.

This anime probably used AI images and that's all I want to talk about.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders.
But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

Time to shout out that in Pop Team Epic where they had that special with like 6-7 near identical episodes but slightly different, they used a different translator for every episode so they would all be slightly the different, but also the same.

We don’t use AI for subtitles. Every line is carefully timed and translated by real people (who cry during finales and debate Best Girls, just like you).

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 5d

OUR STATEMENT ON THE ACTION AGAINST FILIA

TERFS GATHER EVERY YEAR TO GLOAT ABOUT ATTACKS ON BODILY AUTONOMY AND TRANS PEOPLE'S SAFETY

THIS YEAR, WHEN WE FACE THE GREATEST ATTACKS ON OUR FREEDOMS, WE WILL NOT ALLOW THEM THE PRIVILEGE

STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (9/10/25)

LAST NIGHT, ACTIONISTS FROM BASH BACK TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE BRIGHTON CENTRE, VENUE OF THE FILIA CONFERENCE, WHICH PLAYS HOST TO SOME OF THE MOST VICIOUS TRANSPHOBIA IN POP POLITICS.

FILIA'S SPEAKERS THIS YEAR INCLUDE BIGOT-PROVOCATEURS JULIE BINDEL, LGB ALLIANCE AND "SCOTTISH LESBIANS" - A GROUP BEHIND THE SEGREGATIONIST 2025 SUPREME COURT RULING.
THEIR VILE AND HATEFUL RHETORIC LEADS TO THE SAME KIND OF DISCRIMINATORY VIOLENCE THAT KILLS HUNDREDS OF TRANS PEOPLE EVERY
YEAR.
THESE BIGOTS HAVE OUR BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. THEY USE THIS CONFERENCE TO GLOAT. THIS YEAR, WE WILL NOT LET THEM.

STATEMENT ON BASH BACK ACTION AGAINST FILIA (CONT.)

BASH BACK SEES FILIA AS NEITHER RADICAL NOR FEMINIST, SPREADING MISOGYNIST HATRED BACKED BY BOTH BILLIONAIRES AND THE STATE.

LIKE THE SUFFRAGETTES AND RADICAL QUEERS BEFORE US, THAT THE ONLY PATH TOWARD LIBERATION IS THROUGH ACTION.

TO THE ORGANISERS OF FILIA WE SAY THIS:

IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR TRADE OF TRANSPHOBIC HATE, IF YOU EXPECT TO CONTINUE IN YOUR QUEERBASHING AND TRANSMISOGYNY AND CALL IT "FEMINISM" THEN EXPECT RESISTANCE, EXPECT RETALIATION, EXPECT US.

PAINT WASHES OFF. BLOOD NEVER DOES.

I have never ran to update the @nekodesu.radio music library so fast. nkd.su/scatman-ski-... #NekoDesu

Screenshot from Wondance episode 1 showing a PC opened up to a YouTube lookalike playing the music video for "Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" by Scatman John. The subtitle at the top of the screen is "The singer Scatman John."

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them
