the americanisation of the british right wing is just pathetic, like you can’t even be your own kind of wanker any more

war on christmas (lol), bathroom bans (we don’t call them bathrooms here), DEI (we didn’t used to put those letters that way round), even 15-minute cities (what the actual fuck)

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.
If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.

I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles
Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people.

Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot?

What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

Considering the original Muppet Show featured a lot of British TV entertainers (Bruce Forsyth, Spike Milligan etc.) what modern prime time UK stars would you want to see in a reboot?

Because La Voix and Claudia Winkleman would be at the top of my list. And maybe Philomena Cunk (in character)

I'm loving tuning in every so often to Alex Horne's How-Long-a-Thon and catching the most bizarre exchanges - he was just doing the worm with Mr Blobby (who talks in far more full sentences than I remember) #howlongathon #su2c

Getting barred from the US because I keep quoting Horrible Histories and it goes against Trump's version of world history
Getting barred from the USA because the ICE agent doesn't know who Ace Rimmer is or why I keep misattributing his catchphrase to recently dead celebrities and is angry that I didn't write out the context in full in case an American stumbled upon it

Does... does Trump think the London mayor is Khan from Star Trek?
President Trump, "In my opinion many European countries will not be viable countries any longer"

"If you take a look at London, you have a Mayor named Khan, he's a horrible mayor. An incompetent mayor. But he's a horrible vicious disgusting mayor"

This was my instinct with it as well: it's *hard* and it takes a lot of work, but that's because the tools are shitty. Like, you can make great art with limited resources - sometimes it even helps! - but genAI is almost actively working *against* artistry because of the way it's created.
I've spoken with someone who made something similar recently and I don't think the studio are wrong in their description. Think of it closer to a digitally composite animation patched together from an unreliable generator.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

i really love how the guardian and bbc are scrambling to put literally anything together on the sandie peggie case after the court found that the supreme court judgement does not mean trans women can be summarily banned from women's toilets
