Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I would have thought it was made on film so would mostly just be a rescan. Would also need agreement from the BBC.

It's also where the modern trend of holding a tiny microphone came from.

I also just looked them up (once I'd worked out what the song was actually called!) and am no clearer. Apart from that it's not an anthem to the joys of public transport, which is disappointing.

If Sadiq Khan is a trans ally, why is he allowing JK Rowling’s Harry Potter to take over the Christmas lights in Oxford Circus? Email him now and ask him to pull the plug on transphobia. goodlaw.social/e1ae3f

I like River Deep Mountain High, but that's because I hadn't heard any other versions of the song when this came out.

This is fun: at 07:54 you'll hear John Witty, the voice of T-Mat, testing out mid-range tape recorders that Dr Who fans were very likely using to audio record the programme off-air in the mid-1960s. youtu.be/k01-lnUe2WU?...

If someone is accused of rape, they broke the social contract. I don’t know why we keep acting like they didn’t and being shunned from their community is unjust punishment. Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean they should just retain all privilege and be given more chances in the mean time.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

A fascinating read. And all the more poignant as my grandad was one of those who did as he was told and stayed in his camp.
