Serious point - the best bit of advice I’ve ever received from anyone from work (and in general, really) is don’t use the word “just” Nothing takes “just” 5 minutes It’s never “just” easy Even like, 6-7 years on it stays with me. Can’t remember last week but I can remember this lol

The Worst Witch, which I think would be fairly straightforward if it was a cinematic mechanic. It would need some kind of chaos dice.

ULEZ was exactly like when they brought in the seatbelt requirement for car users. People screaming about personal inconvenience or change, while there on the page was clear evidence that this would save lives. it was delivering the biggest improvement in London's health since the smog ban.

Exactly. in part because once the anti-ULEZ interests realised Khan wasn't going to back down on implementing it in london, they switched to containment mode. Poisoning the political well so central government or other local polities, without strong central leadership, wouldn't do it.

Ahem. I am looking for some book reccs for a friend of mine - early 20s male, autistic person - who is having a really hard time finding modern fantasy that isn't also at least partially romanstacy, which he cannot. Epic Tolkien is his bag, really, but he is seeking new stuff. Pls share for reach!

Just learned Amazon Prime in the UK is now showing the 'Pendragon Cycle' fantasy series, so in case anyone stumbles into watching it by mistake, know that it was made by far-right Trumpists at the Daily Wire, explicitly as violent right-wing Christian propaganda (this is a tweet by its creator)

Tweet from Jeremy Boering, creator of The Pendragon Cycle TV show: "As a teenager,@StephenLawhead's The Pendragon Cycle reshaped my understanding of faith, courage, and purpose. It rejected the shallow, “nice” Christianity of my youth and revealed a kind of Christian whose faith was forged in blood and sacrifice -- a world where the battle for king and country was inseparable from the battle for Christ and His Kingdom.

That story changed me, and I’ve spent years bringing it to life for the screen."

Honestly, seeing some English people get irritated at some Americans talking about them with the same sweeping assumptions and nonsense as they (the English) tend to talk about the Scots is one of the best parts of the sportsball right now. (I have no hope that they'll knock it off, it's cultural)

Tesco is extending its Kids Eat Free scheme to 7 days a week over the summer, where children get a free meal with an adult purchase, but honestly, this detail about how small the adult purchase can be broke my heart.

The Café and The Coffee Shop in Tesco will be offering one free Kids Hot Meal Deal, Kids Breakfast or Kids Pick ‘n’ Mix deal with any full price adult purchase when they scan their Tesco Clubcard. **The adult purchase could be something as small as an apple costing just 65 pence.** And with no limit to the number of Kid’s meals you can redeem, families of all sizes can benefit too.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

A few of the placards seen today as the fash got chased off Buchanan Street. Never forget: the far right are indeed dangerous and wicked; and they are also weird and pathetic, and we should say so.

Placard: "Racism is weird. Have you tried hobbies?"

Placard: "Send racists home to think again".

Placard: "Radicalised by basic decency".

Placard: "Psst. Fascists can't dance. (Pass it on.)"

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Photo of a small group of mostly men wearing black, with masks and balaclavas, surrounded by a Police Scotland cordon in the bottom of the photo, in the foreground. In the background, a very large colourful crowd of people with saltires, trade union banners, and hand-made signs in support of migrants and against racism have turned up to gather to show solidarity, and the far right guys were hoping to thwart that. They didn't.
