A robot in the form of a cuboid postbox with a curved back. The rectangular slot is its mouth, complete with rows of teeth, and it has a hinged hatch with a handle on its front. It has four stumpy banded legs on the bottom and two banded arms. In one hand it holds a strip of adhesive stamps with tiny images of what appears to be Bigbot on them, while in its other it holds up a sealed envelope.

10 LGBTQ+ organisations across Wales have written to Llais, the statutory patient watchdog, demanding action be taken to restore gender-affirming surgeries in Wales. cwiar.org/en/2026/09/1...

Dear Alyson Thomas,
Re: Pause of gender-affirming surgeries in Wales
We are writing jointly as organisations representing and supporting trans people and the wider LGBTQ+ community in Wales, regarding the decision made by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee to pause referrals for gender-affirming surgeries through the Welsh Gender Service.
We welcome Llais's public statement recognising the significant impact this decision has on trans people across Wales. Gender-affirming surgeries are safe and effective, backed by substantial clinical evidence. For many, gender-affirming surgery is a lifesaving procedure needed to live a normal and fulfilling life.
There has never been a national prohibition of a surgical procedure without clear evidence of harm before now. In such extraordinary circumstances, we believe the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee should have undertaken substantial patient consultation before reaching any decision.
We are calling on Llais as the Citizen Body for Health and Social Care to request an urgent meeting with the Joint Commissioning Committee and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board to:
• Raise a formal issue with the Joint Commissioning Committee regarding its decision to pause surgeries and its impacts on patient safety.
• Request that Joint Commissioning Committee agree to surgeries resuming whilst the investigation takes place
We also request that Llais works with us to advocate for a formal investigation into the decision making processes that led up to this current situation.• • Cwiar
Cymru
We urge Llais to use every avenue available to advocate for trans patients and hold
NHS Wales to account.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

AF: If you were, I'm sure this idea will horrify you, but if you were a government Corey, because ultimately it's them that we look to to try and sort these things out to protect us, exert control where we think control needs to be exerted, what would you be doing right now?

CD: Oh well I mean buying AI at the top of the market is the most ridiculous thing I can imagine, we can see that there's a time on the horizon can buy GPUs at 10p in the pound to hire as many you know unemployed applied statisticians as you'd like at knocked down rates and use open source models that will still be kicking around long after the firms that release them have been vaporized to do the useful things that AI can do because it's just a normal technology, it does useful things. If I wanted to do some growth here I would ignore all of that, not buy the asset at its most expensive and instead do something like repeal article six of the copyright directive that makes it illegal for British firms to reverse engineer and modify American defective tech products, and go into business selling things like kits that install a different app store on your iPhone that doesn't take 30p out of every pound in commissions and kits that jailbreak your printer so you don't have to pay 10,000 dollars a gallon for ink, and that sort of thing to a grateful world that would happily purchase those products instead of you know consuming the last drops of water in the United Kingdom that are not polluted by human faeces to cool a data center to make child pornography. I mean it just seems like an absolutely bizarre follow-on strategy done by people who have a superstitious dread of being seen as out of touch with the times.

The rim lighting effect in Paper Mario is created in an extremely simple manner.
[the sprites are taken, copied, recolored black, then the black version is offset, made transparent, and trimmed to the original sprite]
Note how this coincidentally results in a realistic shadow of the cap on Mario's face because the shadow is just the brim recolored black
