A two panel comic of Loki from A Bad God's Guide to Being Good. In the first panel he's looking breezy and innocent and holding up a book. He's saying, "I think it's great that children read prose novels." In the second panel, he's looking more mischievous and saying, "It's a perfectly GATEWAY to comics."
Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?
Single cover for Blackstreet's No Diggity
Bill Withers album Just As I Am, which contains the song Grandma's Hands
Single cover for Delakota's The Rock
Bill Withers' album Still Bill which contains the song Kissing My Love
I love when you're listening to something and you finally clock on to a sample, and today's Bill Withers listen has given me Blackstreet's No Diggity (Grandma's Hands) and Delakota's The Rock (Kissing My Love)

Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bellβs detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
Odd that Nigel's post doesn't include a photo of a beaver, just a fanny
100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says βtheyβre having problems with their economy again.β
This is from 1975.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Today, we're publishing Don't Steal This Book - a (mostly) empty book from almost 10,000 authors, protesting the theft of their work by AI companies.

Exactly, it's all just drawing lines and picking dates where if you're on that side of it after this day then you don't count, and it's all so arbitrary and only serves to divide us
It boils my piss this kind of talk, because in so much these squalid little racists stopped bothering to learn new things after they left school, but they routinely forget one of the most basic things from History class: NO PEOPLE IS ORIGINALLY FROM THIS ISLAND, WE ALL CAME HERE
Anyone else got a hyphen? No, didn't think so
Everyone knows Jutes, Angles, Saxons, then you add in the Celts, Romans, Norse, Normans, and every other people that came here through Empire, WWII, Windrush, and onwards, not a one originally from here, all of them rightly now a part of here
I'd love to know who he thinks are actually indigenous to this island given that we are the only place in the world where that is described as a joining of two peoples from another country, and our history is a long one of new groups turning up and whoops you're part of us now too
Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and βwearβ it, with a behavior known as βcovering reactionβ, mainly because they shy away from light. So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.

Me in a purple "might do a little stomp as a treat" t-shirt, roaring
Got mine!
I guess belief was just never really in me
I always took it as a fiction, to the extent that when I was about 5 and Bethlehem was mentioned on the news, and my reaction was "What, it's a real place?"
Stopped going to Sunday School as soon as my brothers were old enough to go by themselves

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word βgenocideβ but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
