it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Dick Cheney, George W. Bush’s vice president, dead at 84 Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84, his family said in a statement

I have no shame or hesitation in saying that I'm glad this man is dead, and the world is a better place without him.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

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.

Fucking hell, God Save the King is a dirge.

Just a shame it happened *after* the Tech Dif recordings so you can't bring it up.

Wow! That's amazing. The boyhood dream has come true for Gary Brannan.

I have come to the conclusion that cocktails are intentionally named in ways intended to cause mirth and embarrassment when ordering.

"What would you like?" says the waitress, a good five years younger than me.

"Can I get a Blowjob?" says I, the gormless rube that has fallen for their trap.

I don't read often, but when I do, it's Bill Bryson books. I try not to laugh out loud in public out of principle, but that man has a way with words that breaks me down every page.

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing.

Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust.

Unbound stole our money.

These past few years I've been dreading the month of June because that's when right-wingers carry out their most brazen attacks on trans people

Wooooow.

Unbound/Boundless didn't have enough cash to pay their authors, but they did have enough to throw thousands at a Tory's leadership campaign.

I cannot express how fucked up this is. Unbound/Boundless have scammed hundreds of creatives and tens of thousands of fans out of hundreds of thousands of pounds. It's absolutely despicable.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

God, I fucking love music

While many critics of AI might hope that familiarity with the tools – with their frequent hallucinations and often outdated knowledge bases – would breed contempt, the opposite appears to be the case. Those Britons who use AI chatbots more frequently are the most likely to think they are good at pretty much all of the tasks listed.

This Yougov survey contains an important finding: people who rely heavily on ChatGPT rate it as being "good" at tasks that we ABSOLUTELY know for sure it is very bad at

imo, this is a strong piece of evidence these heavy users simply do not ever check outputs

Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit.

And if you ARE intentionally a transphobe, kindly either fuck off or educate yourself, whichever you're capable of.

I got a lie in. 06:45 instead of 06:30. I was chuffed.
