Yell, Shetland, 1928. Fourteen-year-old Merran meets a mysterious stranger on the beach who causes her to question whether there was more to her brother's drowning five years prior. But the stranger, Solveg, isn't all she seems, and her presence brings danger to the community.

This is the same MO as when "The Sun" campaigned for the release of a prisoner whom they not only were instrumental in getting locked up, but were baying for the death penalty at the time.

You don’t get to bankroll a genocide…

Embolden and cheer on the perpetrators

I was in Odessa last night, with a mobile air defense team from the 11th Brigade (UKR National Guard). Watching these guys work is inspiring. But the Shaheds just kept coming. A few got through.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

GB News is not a commercial media company. It is a far-right propaganda outlet that does not even try to operate on profit/loss terms, but is paid for to the tune of tens of millions of pounds a year by its rich extremist backers.

If it wasn't it would have shut down long ago.

GB News pay party political leader Nigel Farage over half a million pounds. The TV channel pays him five times his MP salary - and as much as his other 11 further external jobs put together

A man on this bus was discussing an ex's problems in a surprisingly calm and therapeutically-aware tone, only 1) she's in such serious trouble she's risking custody of her kids 2) which are also his kids 3) the therapy-speak was the shield justifying him doing nothing. For his own children

Imagine being a Tory and dressing in the seventh Doctor’s clothes. The seventh Doctor who defeated Thatcher-analogue Helen A, who fought race-hate, destroyed Nazis, stood against nuclear bombs and battled climate change. The anti-Tory seventh Doctor. Imagine how much of an idiot you’d have to be.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history
pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast
about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed
psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The
"known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis
White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale
Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television
and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing
wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked
whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether
his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but
he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from
his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this
interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think
that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself."

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from
the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into
ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten
a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further.
It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity
agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that,
but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person
who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the
statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had
a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the
U.S.

It's a shame but at the same time consider this. Assassin's Creed is mostly headed by a Canadian branch of Ubisoft. Not only would this get conservative backlash but the current President would try to Tariff Ubisoft specifically and request the game to say "Slavery was good, actually!"
