The BBC, here, describing neo-Nazi associate and anti-feminist Kellie-Jay Keen as a "campaigner for women's rights", in case you had any doubts about their editorial line. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A quote from a BBC News article about welfare "reform":

Milburn's main recommendations to tackle the problem will be published later this year, but he said there had to be a system reset, part of which had to be reform of the benefits system.

Directly addressing those in the Labour Party nervous about reforms to welfare he said: "Labour is what it says on the tin.

"It's the party of work. Work gives purpose. Work gives income. Work gives meaning."

Nvidia management looking at the "hire fans!" memes and yelling "ship it!"

A meme image showing a split-screen comparison of an image of Aloy, the protagonist of Horizon: Zero Dawn. The left-hand image is a shot from the game; the right-hand image is the "fan-made" version, with every blemish in her skin surgically removed, and wearing immaculate make-up in the post-apocalypse.

About a 40% overlap with "favourites" here, but interesting to consider how to interpret "define", and the influence each has had on me.

The 9 anime that define me:
1. Revolutionary Girl Utena
2. Mushishi
3. Simoun
4. Maria-sama ga Miteru
5. Noir
6. ARIA the Animation
7. Chihayafuru
8. Bubblegum Crisis
9. Wandering Son

"Nobody is expecting there to be a toilet police", claims the replacement TERF at the head of the EHRC (because this is Britain and that would cost money), but if a force of volunteer purveyors of violence were to spontaneously arise... www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

A pair of images of Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace holding a red lightsaber horizontally. In the first, a single blade is extended, captioned "Nobody is expecting there to be a toilet police". In the second, both blades are extended, and the caption reads simply "But".

A panel from a Spiderman comic, featuring Spiderman talking to a muscular pteranodon who is riding a triceratops.

Spiderman: You can rewrite DNS on the fly, and you're using it to turn people into dinosaurs? But with tech like that, you could cure cancer!

Even the BBC can't quite cover up the judge's complete evisceration of Rowling's latest bigoted sock-puppet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

She dismissed Ms Kelly's argument that it was unfair to sacrifice the privacy of women, 20% of the workforce, for the interests of five transgender staff members, 0.5 % of the workforce.

Judge Sutherland pointed out that only a single person, Ms Kelly, had raised a complaint - which amounted to 0.05% of the female workforce.

Oh, so we're going to divide people into those with rights (humans), and those without ("sub-humans", one might call them)? This seems like a very normal, mainstream ideology whose merits we should be calmly debating. www.thetimes.com/article/af3a...

An excellent description of the UK government's desperate gullibility as they hope to find a wizard who will fix the things their failed ideology cannot. www.theregister.com/2025/07/22/o...

Some experts, however, aren't as convinced as the government that such technologies will deliver the promised national growth. Wayne Holmes, professor of critical studies of artificial intelligence and education at University College London's Knowledge Lab, doesn't mince his words on the topic.

"Policymakers and idiots around the world are just getting sucked into this hype-fest, believing the nonsense that these people are saying, that this is going to sort everything, can help solve all the problems of the world, and cancer is going to be solved in three weeks, poverty in five weeks," he told The Register.

"It's just utter, utter drivel and neoliberal nonsense. OpenAI and others like it – terrible, terrible companies, and to invest or to have a memorandum of understanding with them is just crazy. OpenAI is an incredibly unstable company that could collapse at any time. They are just working really hard to enhance their immediate value. And then clearly this memorandum is going to help them in that project, because they're just interested in making as much money as quickly as they can, because, in my opinion, they know that they're hitting a brick wall.

Boy, I sure do love using the Everything App!

A clip from a Guardian article:
Linda Yaccarino wrote: “When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.”

The BBC, seen here winning the "euphemism of the day" award. Oh, the chatbot was "inappropriate" and "widely criticised", was it? Why might that be, I wonder? And more importantly, why does the UK government still consider it an appropriate place to post its comms? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A BBC news story by Peter Hoskins, which starts:
"Elon Musk's artificial intelligence start-up xAI says it is working to remove "inappropriate" posts on the multi-billionaire's social network X.

The announcement came after the platform's Grok AI chatbot shared multiple comments that were widely criticised by users."

Abolish the Home Office. Raze it to the ground. Salt the earth.

A picture of the Home Office building overlaid with text from the long-term nuclear waste storage meme: "This is not a place of honour. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present in your time, as it was in ours."

Excellent, powerful work. Weasel Streeting should be confronted this way every time he shows his face in public.

A quote from Trans Kids Deserve Better member Tomfool:
"He [Streeting] has ignored our voices and taken away our healthcare; we have been given no dignity. He is capable of listening; he certainly listened to anti-trans groups about the decision to ban puberty blockers for trans kids, yet he didn't speak to us. He values the opinions of transphobes and of the adults that abuse us over our experiences which prove why we need access to puberty blockers.

I want to hand him a coffin directly, in person. To make him look a trans child in the eyes and face his fucking actions. I know he can feel our blood on his hands, and I hope it haunts him enough to make him realise he's doing the wrong thing."
