The backlash against actors still working on Potter projects, including Hugh Laurie, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Katherine Parkinson, Matt Berry, Riz Ahmed, Louise Brealey, John Lithgow, James McAvoy, Michelle Gomez, Mark Addy, Warwick Davis and Rose Wilson is still not big enough to deter others.

Another one here where the British press just smashed fuck out of a member of the public’s life for no good reason, just because they wanted to and nobody will stop them doing at. And they’re still going, even now.

One of my earliest memories is a showing of Disney's original Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, where the queen's transformation into the hag scared the absolute shit out of baby me and I had to leave the theater. I don't think I was older than three. Four at the absolute maximum.

First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

Imagine the uproar if a celebrity posted: "I wrote a new piece about trans rights and whether or not I want J.K. Rowling dead. Spoiler: I don't. But..."

My ‘I don’t want trans people dead’ T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

Polymarket allowed users to bet on whether any one of the 7 defendants in the Cornell rape case will be charged with a felony sex crime and the market did almost HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN VOLUME

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

This is why. The content was restricted to age 18+ because of this (CENSORED) reference to people having sex. in a video that is like 50% footage of mass shootouts. which is exactly a point made in the video, in the segment that was restricted.

THE VIDEO WAS UNLISTED FOR A FULL WEEK BEFORE IT WENT PUBLIC I'M MAKING NO FUCKING MONEY FROM A VIDEO *AGAIN* FOR FUCK SAKE

In keeping with the accuracy of LLM reliability, 12% of the cocktails contain raccoon urine, and 3% contain arsenic. Even the bartenders won't know which is which.

There’s a “pro-data center party” taking place in D.C. right now, with a generative AI photo booth, AI themed cocktails

It was hard limiting myself to nine games. I had to cut several Lucasgames adventures, Movie Musical Madness, You Don't Know Jack, Master of Orion 2, various Final Fantasies, Denki Blocks, Worms, Professor Layton, and once I hit "post", I'll remember five more games that should have made the list.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Honestly the discourse really is just a lot of cis people going "won't you trannies just accept you are less than human scum that don't matter and throw yourselves on the pyre for me". You can dress it in fancy words but a ban on trans healthcare will kill trans people & you demand we support it

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

Repeat after me, fellow cishet folks: I will not watch the HP show sincerely. I will not watch it ironically. I will not watch it on a free trial. I will not watch it on someone else's account. I will not watch it to mock it. I will not watch it on a pirate website. I will not watch it at all.
