I'm scoring a series of brand new Doctor Who audio adventures bye wonderful @77yearsteam.bsky.social. Here'smy theme for the Red Twilight Doctor (inspired by a piece by Jed T. E. Rhodes.) Very excited for you to experience the series, I've been having an absolute blast. youtu.be/s0BoYKXpo6o

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

The whole "Tylenol causes autism" thing just reminds me of the plot of Scanners, which is making me wonder if I can make Michael Ironside's head explode by infodumping about the Radiophonics Workshop.

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

I do not think LLMs are people. I do not even think they have the same sanctity and value as animals, and I say that as a meat-eater. If I am wrong in that position, I suppose that would turn out to be bigoted of me. But I’m not, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Would love to chat to some horror influencers/reviews about the Holmwood Foundation. To get Season Two funded we’re going to need a lot of help. Can anyone help? Please like/share!

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again... 'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'

Just putting a line out to thank the lovely trans allies who orbit my wee circle like the very nice and lovely to talk to @katiegangel.bsky.social, @georgelock13.bsky.social and @frazzles-0303.bsky.social Having peeps like you about makes the world a better this for this little transfem gremlin :3

Stephen King's sincere love of the entire pop and rock genre has given many n00b writers a misleading impression of how cheap and easy it is to quote your favourite songs at the beginning of every chapter.

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

The immediate reaction of @lilromana.bsky.social on seeing this "CHRIS MORRIS!!!!!" right in my ear

New to this one, but would really recommend reading the short intro and then clicking on the sound file. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_sc...

If I do cancel my Disney subscription, as a protest, I just realised I can still watch all the Marvel and Star Wars and Alien and Simpsons I want. Good old physical media. The best way to not have to depend on the whims of corporate dicks. Pay once, and when they pivot fash, you don't have to.

There are no aliens invading Earth. TEOTW is simply about the evil that human beings inflict upon each other as a fascist power grows in strength. Think how much less of a story it would be if the twist in Part Four was that Salamander was working with the Daleks or the Cybermen. 5) #DoctorWho

There has got to be a better way to buy concert tickets than waiting for ages to get onto a buggy page that doesn't respond half the time, click a seat, and then wait another 60 seconds to find out if you actually got that seat or not

Usually when someone dies, the people who considered them a hero will share their greatest quotes and epic moments. It's extremely telling that Charlie Kirk supporters are NOT doing that because they'd have to share, ya know, his quotes. They can't share vids of him either coz he was such a douche.

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

I wonder if the Prime Minister might have anything to say today about how the world's richest man urged a huge fascist mob to effect a change in government and incited them to violence, because I feel like that's not something we should encourage

Presenting… ♦️ Doctor Who: Red Twilight♦️ A new audio series releasing November 2025. One story, 12 episodes— all with a full cast and original soundtrack. In the distant future, the Doctor has lived countless lifetimes; gone on an infinite number of adventures. (1/3)

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

Big news about the pod coming soon! Including our scheduled episodes, chances for you to be heard on the podcast, and a few exciting gets!

Since the financial crisis, it’s just been the Thatcherite consensus thrashing around in molten steel like the liquid Terminator in the second movie, trying on all its different guises - the cop, the mum, Sarah, the security guard - but none of them are impervious to getting melted.

This is a huge story. Don't let him get away with it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think the security and military services were perfectly open regarding their contempt for democracy and their willingness to “step in”. Houghton went on telly to confirm his fascism and Marr nodded along. www.theguardian.com/politics/vid...

It looks like the ruling classes of country after country have looked at a choice between a) “mostly neoliberalism, but now without you” and b) “mostly neoliberalism but with Hitler, and you get to stay on as the tame opposition” and they have all been palm-slamming button b) like its Hungry Hippos.

Look at Britain, where the mere idea of even partially rolling back bits of the Thatcherite consensus and maybe doing fewer American wars has very quickly driven our entire media/political class completely insane.

A couple of years back companies started using AI voiceover and my voiceover gigs disappeared. And then they realised it wasn't quite working...and started using VO artists again. You can create something that is passably a human voice but you can't create something that's even passably human.

The last 5 of my 20 Barrow Guard are on the march! 🥳 Excellent figures to make up the honour guard for my Wight King. Absolutely loved painting these and I can't wait to paint more; 3 more knights and then my "standard" skeletons. Can't wait! #nerdlings

"Sylvester Stallone was so tired of not getting acting work that he wrote his own script and you know what script that w-" "Rocky" "...yeah...." Me walking away thinking about my scriptwriting degree, my mound of unproduced scripts and how Rocky was nearly 50 years ago:

This is the thing, isn't it. The UK media collectively decided that calling someone a fascist is worse than holding far-right views in the first place

The political/media class *chose* not to make a big deal out of Jenrick associating with a Neo-Nazi, precisely because it disrupted their scripted narratives about what these protests are and what they mean, precisely because violent Hitler fanatics being involved *is salient* to 'bystanders'

Noone gives this take the other way round, do they? No one advises conservatives that calling their enemies communists, extremists, anti-semites, Britain haters etc. "doesn't work" Because political name calling plainly *does* work, if done regularly at sufficient volume with a big enough platform

Boosting this account too as Soad's other account has been shadowbanned, people aren't seeing notifications it seems.

Wow! RFK Jr single-handedly slashes autism diagnosis waiting times

One problem with having “computer” as your job is that after work you don’t want to do fun computer

I am once again thinking about John Carpenter’s Creature from the Black Lagoon, which featured a design by Rick Baker of the Gill-Man. Universal reportedly canceled the project after Memoirs of an Invisible Man fared poorly at the box office.

I used to think we move into a future that had the values of Star Trek, but now it’s clear we are moving towards a Blakes 7 world. Who wants to be the Villa to my Gan.

I know this is my specific flavor of autism, but the claim that a material analysis of sex classes leads to TERF ideology makes me furious because a material analysis does the opposite.

this legitimately made me bust out laughing, he’s completely serious and his whole account is videos like this
