In general I agree, but I am going to have to ask you for a source on that last one.

Who’s next?

Me during the minute’s silence.

Can’t wait for the UK, Germany, and France Song Contest. I bet France still gives us nul points. /j

The building is already a Grade I listed building.

I don’t like that Zed has such an AI focus, but it is a pretty solid editor otherwise.

I guess I’m really gonna get it in the neck, then.

I’m going to miss the silkposting.

Isn’t ad blocking, as the industry magazine AdAge has called it, “robbery, plain and simple”?

Robbing corporations is based, though, actually.

Well, some are both software developers and furry artists, which I guess frees you up to be some other, hidden, third thing. Which I’m going to guess is either bass guitar player or train driver?

Roughly 50% of transgender and/or non-binary people are software developers and roughly 50% are furry artists, so it makes sense we would be more wary of AI.

I use arch, btw.

A statement so taco-coded that it might as well be singing Puttin’ on the Ritz.

I thought that the headline was talking about the mafia for a second, there.

I’m not a legal professional (merely an ill-informed amateur), and especially not an American one, but it seems to me like the judge’s order makes a pretty convincing argument that the injunction is legally warranted.

Maybe we might consider that federal law might be the problem before we rush to accuse the judge personally of being a nonce?

As someone who voted for Nick Clegg in their first ever general election vote, I think it’s important that we shatter our youth’s idealism early and often.

If I had a penny for every time I heard about new advancements about to revolutionise solar panel technology, I’d have glazed the bloody Sahara with them by now.

Reminder: “separating the art from the artist” is an approach to engaging with an artwork, and is a separate question from whether or not you should engage with an artwork when doing so has real life consequences.

Whether or not you should consume HP Lovecraft media despite the fact he was a racist is entirely up to you because he is long dead. He doesn’t make any money. He isn’t even racist any more. Because he’s dead.

When you consider whether or not you consume Harry Potter media, you must consider that JK Rowling will make money and will donate that money to anti-trans groups. If you still go on to buy licensed merch, or pay a streaming service to watch it, you will literally be helping to propogate transphobia. Continue to enjoy anything you currently own if you want. That is where separating the art from the artist comes into it. But if you still actively promote the material online and thereby increase the demand for it; again, transphobia, arguably.
