Homage to the incredibly helpful synopsis of one episode, from the TV guide we had while Voyager was airing.

The episode isn't about Mr Crusher; it's about Mr Streeting.

The difference a Labour government is making.

Something like 8 years ago I wrote an essay about how I was going to stop using the "trans women are women (etc)" slogan, because it felt tautological and ridiculous to be stating common sense over and over. But you know what? Trans women ARE women. Factually, biologically, materially, women.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Starting to think all those people insisting they read it for the articles might have been telling the truth after all ;)

The people rushing to say "But what about Truss/etc‽" when you say "Starmer is the worst PM":

The only reason I even know there was a Labour candidate is because I remember the weird ketchup and mustard branding and all the Labour higher-ups doomsaying about Reform. I can't even remember their gender, nevermind what their name was…

TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT

Transgenders rejoice 🎉

It's been ages since I've needed a newspaper to keep up with current events; instead I just sit down with my morning coffee and scroll back to see what trans women were discussing 10 months ago ;)

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

this is excessive force. there's zero room for debate on that. look at them.

The most horrific thing about this is that, all the abuse, all the slander/libel Linehan levelled at her, none of that got a conviction. A piece of property had more value than the trans child who linehan targetted. But even that lost its value when the courts realised it belonged to a tranny

If MPs drinking on the job is so acceptable, why are they having to defend it so much and why are they *still* going on about it? It would have been settled immediately. It's almost as if it's utterly indefensible…

I have so far encountered 2 of the new carousel things for images, and I already hate it and want the grid back. I doubt @bsky.app are going to remove it, but I at least want a toggle to choose which I get.

The games use the same files and think they're running on Windows, so I don't see why not. I Modded Divinity: Original Sin 2 with a script extender and a UI/QoL mod, and the only complication was the correct folder wasn't the one from the instructions (I think it ended up being the parent folder)

With regards to how well Bluesky is working today: We can tell. 🙃

A very happy 13th Anniversary Of The Death Of Margaret Thatcher to all who celebrate 🎉

pink "news" has been openly transphobic since 2024 btw. and now they're platforming an extremely dangerous transphobe and switching to a "reporter-free newsroom" aka turning to AI slop instead of actual journalism. please for the love of god stop supporting and reposting stuff from them

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

In the spirit of the season, here is Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

I do think "Avoid giving money to someone who will use that money to harm minorities, whose product is one fiction franchise out of literally thousands" is kind of a reasonable ask. Like it's not even activism, it's "don't actively contribute to harm."

I don’t think too much about what people do on their own time, but A, FUCK JKRs HATEFUL DELUDED SOUL, and B, when you have a justification locked and loaded for why you simply MUST consume Harry Potter media, you probably already know why everyone’s mad at you, and just don’t care, and I DO judge.

*stares at the labour party cabinet*

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Pre-order now to unlock the "Crown of Thorns" outfit, and keep an eye out for the Second Coming DLC which adds a brand new modern region with even more quests.

Finally, a real use case for JavaScript

Reminder that Zuck renamed the whole company because this was gonna be the next big pivot

I guess @stechlab-labels.bsky.social changed their labelling a few days ago, because it's suddenly become very spammy…

Worth noting that there are combined "she/her", "he/him", etc. labels further down the list after the split up "she", "her", "he", "him", etc. at the start, depending on how you want the labels to be presented.

Almost like there was a once in a lifetime pandemic involving a virus with lifelong consequences a few years ago or something

So what you're saying here is, streeting is even more ideologically opposed to trans people existing than his policies would imply, and he's managed to tone it down slightly for the sake of appearances...

That ‘there’s the door’ comment will go down in history as the greatest ever speech give by a Labour Prime Minister on behalf of the Green Party 🎉

I am so sick of hearing labour claim the GRA as a thing they did for our community. They didn't write that law because they cared, because they ideologically agreed with the cause of trans rights. They did it because they were forced to after being sued and taken to the ECHR.
