As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

The richest man in the world went insane because he can buy anything except the ability to tell a joke. That's how valuable jokes are.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill
How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

So I bit the bullet and installed Linux Mint on my old Surface Pro 4 the other day. So far so good - running a lot more smoothly right off the bat which is great. Gonna test out battery life a bit (previously it'd drain in like an hour which is not very useful on the move) but feels good!

Entirely expected at this point and yet equally I am amazed at someone squandering so much goodwill and political capital through incompetence and short sightedness. No lessons will be learned from this but it will be something to see Starmer leave under a cloud www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

Anecdotal but this really feels like it hits a particular nail on the head for me - to use the example here, I played a ton of deduction games last year (Blue Prince, Blake Manor, Roottrees, Alan Wake 2 (kinda), etc), because it was a great variety of experiences with some important shared elements
