May this truly be beginning of a real ceasefire, and the beginning of permanent peace and *true justice* for everyone in the land.

May the memories of all those annihilated in the genocide, all those slaughtered, be for a revolution.

Here’s what I’d like AI to be able to do: look at my calendar, look at traffic and suggest when I might want to leave and which public transport to take.

What i don't want AI to be able to do: take my job.

My opinion - bring back Dog licenses. Cost is much less for neutered animals, much higher for unneutered and subsidised for those rehoming dogs from animal rehoming organisations.

Did you know the voice of Disney's Prince Charming was gay? Neither did I, but according to this biography of actor Charles Laughton, Laughton and the actor Bill Phipps were having a not-apparently-secret affair during the making of Cinderella. Good for them!

Text from a book:
Brecht and Laughton also seem to have done the casting them-
selves: a few emigré actors, like Hugo Haas, as the Pope, quite a
number of serious young Hollywood actors, acquaintances of
Laughton (Frances Heflin, sister of Van, for example), but for the
most part, in James Lyon's phrase, 'both Laughton and Brecht
wanted unspoiled, teachable, younger people.' Many of these they
found in the recently defunct Actors' Lab, including one, Bill Phipps,
who, as it happens, became Laughton's lover, a troubled but none the
less sustaining relationship. He played Andrea, though Eric Bentley,
for one, reckons he was overparted. In general, the company they
assembled was young, eager and talented.

Of course we know exactly what Jenrick means, not least because he just told us. 'Integration' to him means dispersal (of small numbers of black faces) among the majority white population 'so they can't congregate, talk foreign languages, drag an area down and generally threaten us'.

It's grim.

After highlighting the lack of white people, the shadow justice secretary said it was not about “the colour of your skin or your faith” and he wanted people to live alongside each other.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘Stop doing this to him’

Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’ Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams, has spoken out against AI-generated content featuring her father. “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote in an Instagram story on Monday. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop.

Tomorrow is the big day for Jester & Fjord!

Are you all ready to celebrate the wedding in perfect Mighty Nein style? I’m sure nothing will go wrong at all 😂

A reinterpretation of Leighton’s “Call to Arms”, dedicated to the bride & groom💙✨
#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart @criticalrole.bsky.social

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.
