Apparenty, David Tennant wore an enby pin and a t-shirt reading "leave trans kids alone you absolute freaks" for the official Good Omens 2 press photos.
hmm. i may have spoken too soon. the mobo's NIC isn't taking a connection. fortunately i have an old wifi dongle, maybe bong ri^H^H^H a set of fresh drivers will fix my install. obsessive gadget hoarding saves the day once more!
[turns chair around, sits in it backwards, addresses camera] hey, human kids. you know, it's all well and good to listen to Tom Waits. Sure, we've all stashed a copy of "Swordfishtrombone" behind the toilet tank, there's no shame in admitting it. But if you find yourself identifying too closely with his music, you're headed down a dark path, amigo.
if you find yourself nodding, sighing and wistfully whispering "same" into your bourbon-stained pork-pie hat while listening to "Rain Dogs," it's time to seek help. remember, the first step is to stop eating cold beans out of a dead hobo's shoe down by the Cadillac graveyard off 34th and Calico, using your broken dreams as a spoon.

"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"
This is increasingly how it feels, when things you "own" digitally become inaccessible, and when shows which are locked in streaming services can get delisted on a whim, disappearing forever.
Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.
[Edit: In case this wasn't clear, this is about entertainment and digital ownership, not physical goods]
attention #millenials and #genz: allow, for just, a moment your #genx elders to pass on to you the sweet, lilting refrains of an anthem of seasons past. let it lift thy spirits and inspire both young and old to persevere in times of darkness.

We're half way through the fundraising period.
There are just 5 days left. I know everyone is tired (including me) lol. But let's get through this and hold the British Museum accountable!!
If you ever wanted to do something about the British Museum's theft, please spread the word:

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.
BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.

The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.
This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.
The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.
Please boost and share.

Twitter is like a top of the range Lamborghini but you’re trapped in the boot full of broken bottles and it’s being driven over a cliff by a madman.
Mastodon is like sitting in the back of a dilapidated VW camper van, with knackered suspension, no air conditioning, but lots of nice passengers having a sing-song and there’s a dog called Mr. Snuffles.
note for later: four was too much

Keeping this here for anyone who might need it. Please share freely so we can end the need to share it at all :/
so i'm thinking that every leftist group should have its own subset of GWAR cosplayers with their own Doof Wagon who show up at protest to horrify and annoy fascists. in this way a better world can be forged through the Scumdogs of the Universe.
