Always a bit worried people are trying to find out where I work to complain about me when I see these.

The Telegraph just said the quiet part out loud…

If banning Graham Linehan from contacting “alleged victims” would “mean anyone from the transgender community,” that’s not because the rule was meaningless, it’s because his harassment has been that widespread.

That’s not a defence, it’s evidence!

Has there ever been a hacking scene in a film that's remotely like actual hacking?

Dr. Halloween @blurses.bsky.social · 1h

Though arguably bits later in the film wouldn't work, nor would any of the back story.

Maybe this is why I don't make films (or one of the reasons at least)

Christoph Waltz is very good, but I think the [Redacted] should have been a large intelligent and scary talking Octopus.

These fans spread hate everywhere they go.

Starmer is such a nasty piece of work.

Simply being on the same app as Will Stancil might be making us all stupider.

Like some sort of smooth brain osmosis or something.

If I was a member of the party of Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting, I wouldn't attempt to criticise politicians for insincerity or their personal qualities.

This stuff is so hilariously untrue as well. Really desperate stuff from dickheads panicking that their right-wing briefcase heroes are fucked.

This is an image currently being used by a really worthy, important, campaign on Instagram - it's part of a clearly AI generated short animation full of similar awfulness.

Why. Why???!!!!! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

It does nothing to help the cause.

Don't have money to pay an animator/filmmaker? Don't do an animation.

AI generated image of a woman writing in a notebook using both hands at the same time. Her left hand holds a pencil. Her right hand holds a pencil. Half of another pencil is sort of snapped in half in the middle of that hand. The fingers are delightfully bendy.

Once again I'm asking why Labour MPs can't use the alt text feature on this app?! You are using it to communicate to your constituents and others, why not use a feature that ensures more people, particularly those with disabilities, can understand your message??

It's not hard to do either!

The Labour Government is bringing back family services to our communities, with £221,184 of investment for Gloucestershire.

Every child in the Forest of Dean deserves the best start in life, and under this Labour Government, we’re making that happen.

I made a game a couple of weeks ago! For the very first time! Nearly 5000 people have played it! It's on the international games database! That's mad! PLUS it's about attempting to strangle a horse and dying in many, many ways! What's not to like!?

AND it's free!

Sam Altman told me OpenAI keeps burning his money so I asked him how much money he has and he just said he goes to SoftBank and gets more more money afterwards and I told him it sounds like he's just feeding money to the money fire and then his daughter started crying
