For the second successive week on OQL, I've got the double on pop music questions, and this week I also got the makeup youtuber question. What is happening.

Idk if there's something more going on behind the scenes, but if it is just because she's not the number 1 any more its a bit pathetic.

Disappointed by the first episode of the new Walking With Dinosaurs series. CGI is probably technically better than the originals but the compositing is worse and it feels less real. Storyline is clichéd and they pick a very overdone set of species. The paleontology sections don't add much.

The GC position is that GRR bill in Scotland was a threat to women's rights because if anyone can acquire a GRC then they can easily access womens spaces. Also, that a GRC doesn't allow you to access womens spaces.

Not making time to watch the actual programme everyone’s talking about but seemingly having time to absorb a twitter conspiracy about it is the most Kemi Badenoch response I ever heard

I was getting kinda worried that I wasn't improving at chess any more, after a brief bit of bad form, but now I've made an effort to play a bit slower and deliberate more thoroughly I've got over 900 elo and have won my last 8 matches. A new personal best on both counts!

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
