Off to Sparkle Weekend (Trans Pride) in Manchester today so digging this out 🥰

Me regarding this weather.

Can’t leave Fred and Carrie out of having their moment.

when AI companies go bankrupt

We had a heatwave in the summer of 76 and just got on with it. Back then the sun was known as Ra and his word was gospel. We fired 12 people from each community into the sun to appease him. Only four came back, but they were... different. Hose pipe ban was on. We got by visiting the old haunted well

“Make sure you don’t lose everything when you upgrade to Windows 11!” Oh, babygirl.

So how did we get here, with Starmer on the way out after two years? To some extent, it does go back to the beginning. It was not an enthusiastic victory for Labour. Getting rid of the Tories was the top reason people voted for them in 2024, though with their message of 'Change' also resonating.

"The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam" is a great rule to have against AI content

That lipsync was art. ART. There was only one person on that stage. Honestly it’s the same calibre and category of Latrice’s pregnant performance, despite embodying an entirely different energy.

Where’s Andy Burnham going?

Well, that was a fucking ride.

ok water calm down

Ooooohhh this stings

Heartbroken to hear that Marjane Satrapi has died. Her long term partner died last year and that clearly hit her really hard but still, 56 is no age. If you've not read 'Persepolis' now would be the time to do it.

I wish I could write like this. And I wish Lindy West wrote tutorial papers in psychometrics. (Source: Lindy West, 2019 essay collection 'The Witches Are Coming')

I’m in Glasgow (in case I forgot to mention) and saw a billboard advert for a beer talking about the World Cup and had a guy in an England shirt. I think it’s my first time seeing colonisation in action.

Vile. Awful. Disgusting. Homophobic. How can it be chilly yet humid? Scotland, you are a mystery to me.

But I thought there was a crisis of free speech at universities and students should hear opinions they don’t like? Oh silly me. This only applies to right wing opinions.

I’m an Oscar winner 💅

The centre can be radical the same way a circle can have corners. Someone put this man in the bin.

This is an omen, right? Some sort of omen. Feels like this sort of thing portends something of ill fate.

No ma’am. It is 8 in the morning am.

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

Unironically this is v cool

The folly of the algorithm continues to trip over its own shoelaces. A post comes up in Spanish and I try to see if I can read it, so now in turn every other suggested post is in Spanish, regardless of content.

Holy cow the opening sequence of Maul Shadow Lord had a higher animation budget than all of Rebels. The textures, the lighting, the FX. This is absolutely how they wanted Rebels and Clone Wars to look, it’s gorgeous.

of course all the chaos is funny and I'm glad that Keir Starmer, a bad person, is having a bad time. but jfc what a waste of two years, what a waste of a majority, what a waste of a once in a generation window to improve things. and now it's just 24/7 infighting, briefing, backstabbing. pathetic

"Yep, here’s your problem. Someone set this thing to Evil."

Got logged out of a streaming app on my phone. Password doesn’t match. Request a code via email. Code doesn’t come through to the mail app. Try checking in browser instead. Knowing my password isn’t enough for some reason. Enter the last four digits of your phone number.

there's something disgusting about cis ppl using hrt for sexual kicks while calling me a pervert for using it to reduce suicidal ideation.

Four degrees when I’m leaving for work and twenty degrees when I’ll be on my way home? A girl can’t plan around that.

All Stars? Okay.

One of those days where I got up early and thought I was making good time but it turns out I disassociated in the shower until I hit my regular schedule.

Best three minutes of scripted comedy ever created?

‼️Greens GAIN Kent council seat from Reform 🟢 Grn: 39% (+27) ➡️ Ref: 33% (-7) 🔵 Con: 15% (-4) 🔴 Lab: 10% (-12) ⚪️ Ind: 1% (-2) 🟠 Lib: 1% (-2) Ward: Cliftonville (+/- vs 2025 election)

Me when someone says they used AI for anything.

Washed my socks with the beavers on so I’ve been singing “I’m a beaver” to the tune of “I’m a Believer” from motion picture soundtrack of the seminal film Shrek (2001).

I may be late picking this up, but do fascism and 🚬 share an etymological root?
