Labour are all "get people back to work!" while gutting one of the industries the UK is most famous for, an industry with plenty of jobs very suited for disabled people. All my tv work is with the US. Now more than ever, I really wish it wasn't!

Hello I'm still alive - haven't been massively active on here or over on the bad place, but definitely going to be using BlueSky as the base of operations from now on I reckon... Anyhow, here's one of my favourite photographs I took just before Christmas!

I was looking for a pen in Awdry's study (sorry Luke) when I found THIS! This is a photograph of the engine that Topham Hatt himself built in 1905! She looks quite cheery for such a jerry-rigged engine, perhaps that has something to do with who's taking the photo! (Screenshot by Rhydyronen)

the worst thing is even the consultation puts the burden on creators, because all the questions are like 'given generative AI is obviously BRILLIANT and anyone who wouldn't want to let LLMs eat their copyrighted material HATES THEIR COUNTRY, do you think what we're suggesting is good?'

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it. The law only ever serves capital.

I've filled it out, even though half the questions are leading and the other half are opaque jargon. Generally, Labour have been suckered by tech bros and want to sell out the creative sector.

🚨 Statement from Trans Kids Deserve Better on their action - occupying Wes Streeting's constituency office - which ended this morning.

submitted 160 days ago • 8 comments

Puberty blockers have been used safely since 1988 for trans kids. No issues. No one had concerns until GC's raised their ugly heads and decided it was best to eradicate trans people. It's never been about PB's, the agenda is purely and simply ensuring trans people and their healthcare doesn't exist.
