When I talk about the motherhood penalty being a choice, that it is caused by policies made by those who are not impacted by them, this is what I mean. The key players here are all men.

PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!
Big thanks to @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social and @edwinet.bsky.social for the shoutout in today's Sunday Papers post! If you enjoyed my work at Eurogamer, please do check out youtube.com/platform32 as I'll be hitting the ground running with that from tomorrow! www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-sunday-p...
Just heard that the whole Eurogamer video team has been made redundant. Damn. One of the YouTube channels that kept me sane during Covid times.
Fuuuuck. The entire Eurogamer videoteam, and parts of Outside Xbox affected? Fuck Ziff Davis and this IGN monopolisation.
This would be better if everyone involved was a Muppet.
Television began on this day in 1926. Shortly after that, Doctor Who fans started a campaign to get rid of the current producer.
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
The FIFA Peace Prize doesn't mean what it used to
What, in case they don't give it back?
Though I think most traditions in Ireland and Scotland related to that night (like jack o'lanterns) were started during medieval or early modern times (and hence more related to Christian beliefs of the night), and nothing to do with the ancient Celtic festival.
Yeah, Oiche Shamhna (the first night of Samhain and when modern-day Halloween falls) marks the start of winter here in Ireland. Though date has obviously shifted over time because we use Gregorian calendar, and the ancient Celts had their own calendar.
7.9 out of 11 seems low.
Today I learned:
“This is Spinal Tap” is the only movie on IMDB that’s rated on a scale from one to eleven.
Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.
"Tap tap tap at the bloody window pane. I looked out. You know who it was?"
Fenella Racist, the former Conservative Minister for Housing (6-9 October 2021), has sensationally defected to Reform UK.
Racist, 52, who lost her seat to a Labour newcomer with a large face and a briefcase, said the Tories had lost sight of ordinary voters’ priorities, which is a code they use.
This is the most 90s-ass game ad I have seen since commercial breaks between Dragonball Z.
Here’s why I’m in favour of a wealth tax, or at the very least an unrealised gains tax;
Say I buy £20k of stock in a company and the stock price skyrocketed and that stock is now worth £100,000 my net worth is up £80k without paying tax or NI on that. If I earned £80k that’s £23,042.60 in tax & NI

Loved Tomorrow's World at the time, and love looking back at Tomorrow's World today.

If you were writing a comedy film about a guy who has spent billions in investor cash on building AI, this is what you would have him do about two-thirds of the way through.
This is my version of the Tom Holland lip sync video.
Tweet from Marc (@marcsnetiker): lol who called it The Crucible and not Subpoena the Teenage Witch
I want a new version where Mike Teavee is an iPad kid who pitches a fit when an Oompa Loompa tries to take it from him for safekeeping during the tour, and then walks right into the river or something because he's distracted by watching Mr. Beast at top volume.
A door wedge with the name “Hodor” engraved into it.
Found in my brother’s house and I’m upset.
