here's to 2024 the one year in the last five where anti hero hasn't been part of the soundtrack

i remember way back when a few of the team were playing around with training AIs. this was '23 though, less of a panic over ai then.

finally, the most important feature of atproto, the thing that actual enables the alcoves and courtyards model it was supposed to be and puts blooski ahead of other twitterlikes, has been proposed. i think? whitelisting!

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/07/2026

....it enables whitelisting? ooh. better three and a half years late than never 😋

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/07/2026

noice. we can do whitelisting this way?

ok look I gotta admit twitter is all janky and evil now but there's content you can't find anywhere else, like this just showed up on my for you page

sassy gay friend is another one, but maybe works better with standard white girl? adding in standard white boys sister (main character family) would also allow for brooding bad boy to have an episode (i think gay romance would subvert it a bit *too* much for the story).

this alas may be too late, these are possibly dead horse tropes now.

anthology series focusing on magical character tropes. common thread is standard white boy, who comes into the life of the manic pixie dream girl in one episode, the wise black elder the next episode etc. episodes are from the character PoV obviously, the standard white boy is a prop for the others

janet frasier, stargate sg1 i would have season 7 finished (started watching at season 8, then looped back around at the end), except... i don't want to get to that episode. anna volovodov from the expanse diana cavendish, little witch academia cerereanscratchpad.blogspot.com/2022/04/stro...

like, it could easily have been a d20 game with the fantasy high crew (only seen freshman year though). some of the player-character pairings in the hypothetical feel obvious, based on their fantasy high choices and general vibes...

also realised, in the skellin episode, that it isn't *like* a DnD campaign, it *is* a DnD campaign. once you imagine brennan lee mulligan voicing the trolls, you can't unsee it. this is why it is so loved, this is why it is so hated.

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 19/06/2026

nope. being stationary with a far bigger buffer and a more predictable environment gives you a much larger margin for error. more slack so to speak. they won't be a libertarian paradise, but 18th century sailing is a poor analogy, especially since antarctic bases and oil rigs exist.

010

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 19/06/2026

not really. oil rigs, antarctic bases already exist and are far closer to the situation they'll be in, and being stationary allows you a lot more buffer.

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 17/06/2026

i'm just doubling down on being a filthy centrist classic liberal anyhow still. don't discount the impact of actual things that really happened in real life. the masses aren't NPCs that do whatever their puppet masters tell them, they have agency of their own. not slaves of the algorithm.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 17/06/2026

does this happen here in the opposite direction? i don't spend enough time here to know. i can definitely see a rightward shift on twitter (what is this "X"?), but i live in britain, where there is a steady stream of radicalising horror stories about the regime, so it could just be that.

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

it's frankly bizarre to talk to these people. somehow knife carrying is simultaneously such a problem as to warrant removing the points from kitchen knives, but also not a problem at all if you say your god commands it. my country is in a very dark place because of awful people like her.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

okay then, scrap all knife laws. the laws are either justified or not; a bunch of MPs this week have popped up to say they aren't, so they should be stricken from the books.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

look at the state of our MPs... SAD! the principle that rules apply equally to all is a sacred part of english culture. she thinks it's okay to spit on it. i suppose we can compromise -- any exemptions from laws must include english people, given its importance in our culture?

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

but, having different laws for groups based on the statistical risk of crime for them is really, really not a path britain should be continuing down. just legalise carrying knives if you don't think people carrying them is dangerous.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

if you don't know of the principle that rules apply equally to all, you know nothing of the people you purport to represent. why even have knife laws if you have exemptions for those who claim god lets them have knives? because that particular group is low risk? so are english protestants.

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

here that folks, if we let them take away kirpans, soon everyone else will be banned from carrying knives also

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

yeah, they might take away my right to carry a knife in public too!

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 06/06/2026

in this country, we support equality before the law. of course we should not have any exemptions for religious faith. anything else is unbritish.

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 05/06/2026

let me put it this way: i believe the state has no business telling you who you allow in your bedroom, or your bathroom, or your bed & breakfast

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/06/2026

i usually try to avoid politics on here, or at least i did, but what has happened has destroyed the legitimacy of the regime i live under. people need to be able to trust the police, and they cannot, at least if they live in hampshire. policing by consent is dead.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/06/2026

surely, of all the things that relate to that night, we can agree on this: hampshire police is fundamentally rotten. their command knew what happened that night and still defended the officers actions. we can't have untrained thugs with warrant cards be patrolling our streets.

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/06/2026

isn't "don't move an injured person unless there is immediate danger" one of the most basic rules of first aid? *especially* if its suspected to be a fall from a height? that dragging and manhandling casualties is apparently normal practise for hampshire police renders the whole force unfit. fire.

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 03/06/2026

stop trying to deflect. you're so far down an extremist rabbit whole you think equality before the law is "racist".

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

and? so what? the law as it stands violates a sacred cultural tradition in england, it needs to be struck. it is not racism to demand equality before the law come ahead of people's private beliefs.

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

having seen the footage, i don't think we can say for clear it wasn't murder. you're not supposed to manhandle a severely injured person like that. i know they've claimed he would have died anyway (*cough* fentanyl claims*) but... perhaps he would have died slower. he did die handcuffed.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

when i said i'm committing to the bit of being a filthy centrist classical liberal i mean it. i come from a long cultural tradition that holds tightly the value of everyone following the same rules, that's why we were the ones who invented and codified football. justice is necessarily blind.

000

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

"you lose the exemption if you commit murder" no shit sherlock, but that's never used as an argument why anyone else should be free to carry. i have no intention of murdering anybody, i don't know if i could find it in myself to do that, so should i be free to carry say a bowie knife or seax?

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

a special privilege that has no place in a liberal society such as ours. the kirpan is as sacred to sikhs as the principle of equal treatment before the law is to us. people are understandably shocked to find out the degree to which parliament has violated a core principle of our traditional culture

100

Hedge Queen Alice @notyourdove.atproto.systems · 02/06/2026

and? you're still objecting to the idea of equal treatment under the law. no one wants to "ban the kirpan". you can have a small symbolic blade as a symbol of your faith, we just want you to be subject to the same laws on possession as everyone else in the country. you're accustomed to privilege.

i shall not apologise for my commitment to the bit. even if it means i am hated by all (most everyone). why should i? they're the ones who suck.

just got out from a personal ideological crisis only to reaffirm my filthy centrism (classical anglo liberalism)
