There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

My hot take on the coffee/interview debate is that a) bring coffee if you want but b) one of the reasons I got my current job (and I was told this by the interviewers!) was that I was offered a coffee and asked where to put my mug afterwards... So there is an advantage to not bringing your own.

Spent my evening deep in Go-Man by @hamishsteele.bsky.social - glorious, vibrant and evocative fun (plus the cutest monsters I've ever seen). Shall definitely be picking up Volume 2.
The cover of Go-Man Volume 1: Champion of Earth by Hamish Steele.

Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

Eddie, I know exactly how you feel
Eddie, a brown daschund, lies beneath a grey blanket on a fluffy white bed. His snout just about peeps out of the blanket, his eyes droopy, making him appear intensely reluctant to get up and out of bed. .

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?

this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either

Everyone, please be aware that this is not actually any sort of apology, it's pure condescension which doesn't even describe trans people as trans people, so point out to everyone that no, she has not changed, this is pure PR in the hopes that the TV series doesn't flop.

Water nationalisation for our water security? End north sea oil & gas - invest in renewables for our energy security? A maximum workplace temperature for worker security? No. A request not to sell BBQs. This is dire from Andy Burnham. Spectacularly mishandling the crisis.
Burnham had faced calls from the green party to chair a cobra meeting on the heatwaves with leader Zack Polanski accusing the pm of inaction amid threats to public health and food supplies

Saw the Death Note musical yesterday. It's probably as close as the story can get to satisfactorily fitting in 2 hours, but go to see it for the amazing staging and the incredible music. It's a properly great show even if it's lacking a little bit of narrative sauce.

Very disappointing to see title sequences made out of AI slop now. The Stuart Fails To Save the Universe one ends with a card joking that it looks good despite having no budget. Which they clearly did because they have a Danny Elfman theme song. But not CG artists who definitely need the work more.
