Having spent yesterday up in town for gig reasons, my biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of white people with no individual identity or personality who were desperate to be recognised as a part of something, especially if that thing meant being able to litter and piss freely on the street.

jokes aside, the way that kent has been decimated in recent years is absolutely tragic.

Have just read on the BBC that "the UK's first 'super-university', stretching across an entire region" is to be creaed by merging the universities of Kent and Greenwich, and I'm thinking it's a shame they've never heard of the University of the Highlands and Islands.

working out a LFF shortlist is an exercise in how to make something allegedly “short” when actually it’s very long

Hey folks, a reminder:

Don't use Gen ai.

You can either afford an artist/stock art, or you can't.

If you can't, you can make your own art/designs or abstain.

Or you can cheaper your entire brand and communicate to your audience that you peddle low-effort garbage by using a plagiarism machine.

Just a reminder that if you're working on the HBO Harry Potter show, or the audiobook, or making/buying licensed Harry Potter products, or covering *any* of the previously noted without mentioning JK Rowling's virulent and non-stop transphobia, this is what you're supporting:

Patrick Ness @patricknessbooks.bsky.social · Aug 6

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.

Thinking of starting a Patreon where I will upload Royalty Free Art for TTRPG people to use in whatever project they wish; so long as they credit me.

Would be cheaper than an AI art sub. And will do requests etc.

Would people be interested in that?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but box office earnings should NOT be a factor in a list that claims to be representing the BEST films of the 21st century.
