The hate is draining. People don't want to hear that, but it's true. We aren't made of steel. And after years of talking about this stuff, it takes a toll. I am optimistic for Europe in the long term, but *not* the short term. Weeks like this, I get why friends have left the continent altogether.
Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman
This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.
It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.
You can actually see the moment Ed Miliband thinks, what's the point burning through whatever political credibility I've got left energetically defending a man who's going to be gone in a matter of weeks.
Wow, it's like you should've written a book called Doppelganger instead of Naomi Klein.

As an aside, stop treating MTG as a serious person.
She is trying to get that racist stench off of her
When asked this week why he doesn't turn up to the Clacton business board or do other constituency work, his spokesperson said this week 'he makes personal donations to local charities and writes a column for the local paper'. THAT'S NOT WHAT HE IS PAID TO BE AN MP FOR.

Hi this joke is for me
Christopher Dent in Batman Annual #14 (1990), illustrated by Chris Sprouse
Also this picture of Harvey's dad looks oddly like him too:
Charles Dance in The Jewel in the Crown (1984)
When you see a picture of Charles Dance and are like, "Oh damn, he would've made a pretty handsome Harvey Dent back in the day"
When I see someone getting unhinged about a tv show because it doesn’t match the show in their head
Thank goodness for physical media and libraries, but otherwise, yuck.
"After years of legal fighting, HBO reached an agreement with the estate in 2024, which included removing Leaving Neverland from HBO Max. Reed’s 2025 follow-up [...] contains clips from the original film. Otherwise, good luck finding the documentary in the U.S. in any official form."
Don't have much to say about #MaulShadowLord E5-6, though they were very good, except that I admire the restraint with which they approached the final shot, and that Marrok was far more menacing here than in his appearance on Ahsoka.
Likewise, it's cool Rheena Sul is a completely new character.
Hippo horror movie!!
omg I cannot wait.
So I am reflecting on AI as one does and I have come to realize that “learn to use AI” and “embrace AI” and “develop AI literacy” won’t fucking protect ua from existential and stochastic harms of AI, and my overlooking this as a vector for criticism is really something.

Congratulations to Jamie Hernandez and Trung Le Nguyen, who both picked up awards at last week's Los Angeles Times Book Prizes.
Boxing magazine THE RING and Dark Horse are teaming up for THE MAN WHO BEAT THE MAN, a series by Gail Simone, Elisa Romboli, and Iolanda Zanfardino.
:D Thanks, I'm absolutely going to use "I roll my eyes at you" in future.

Does this mean Danny Pudi's middle name is Brie?
Sadly I don't expect better from Reform.☹️
Between Starmer, the Greens' antisemitism issue, Sharon Osbourne, and Kezia Dugdale, British politics sure has felt more like a pile of shit than usual this weekend.
Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.
There should also be a 2026 edit of *A View to a Kill* where James Bond finds out about the plot to destroy Silicon Valley, thinks for a moment, and then wanders off, hands in pockets, whistling.
So what was all that about boys not having enough good male role models again?
"Only three are original screenplays not based on existing books" is an odd qualifier given most classic films are based on books.
Screenshot of https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Expulsion_of_Unicron. "Primus drifted into a slumber, preventing Unicron from sensing his location. Before falling asleep, Primus provided the Thirteen with a glimpse of his origins and various battles against Unicron. Alpha Trion, the Memory of the Primes, read the first entry of his Covenant of Primus, which allowed the Primes to understand that they were imbued with facets of Primus and Unicron's natures and abilities, which would allow for new strategies to combat the Chaos Bringer. Immediately following their creation, the Thirteen split into three groups: Warriors: Prima Vector Prime Megatronus Onyx Prime Amalgamous Prime Strategists: Alpha Trion Quintus Prime Liege Maximo Micronus Prime Free Agents: Alchemist Prime Solus Prime Nexus Prime The Thirteenth Prime."
#Transformers talk: if the AOTP Liege Maximo toy is supposed to represent him in the past and present, then he's presumably a Warrior Prime, not a strategist. Question is, who takes his place among the Strategist Primes? My guess is Vector's space-time powers means he gets benched with the nerds.
