Would you look at that.
Holding them to account works when they know they stand a good chance of getting their arse kicked & it's not just accepted they did their job.

Let's hope they actually do what they are supposed to this time around.
“Ofcom has decided, exceptionally, to withdraw the 11 decisions and to consider afresh whether your complaints raise potentially substantive issues under the Broadcasting Code which warrant investigation by Ofcom.”

We said we’d sue over Ofcom’s decision to dismiss 22,000 complaints about transphobia on TalkTV – now the regulator has caved.

I hear the YP conference convener just called out someone using 'transphobic' and said they want to keep things respectful

There it is, lads.

There's your party.

I know this petition has much more support than it currently has. Please share far and wide. Petition to require generative AI to carry a watermark and to make it illegal to use a person’s likeness in generative AI without permission.

Petition: Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent
As AI generated content becomes increasingly realistic, we think laws should be put in place to prevent misuse. All such media should carry a permanent watermark or disclosure, alongside a blanket ban...

I mean, this really shouldn't be a shock to anyone, but it will be.

There will, sadly, be those who dismiss it, because it ain't old blighty! Which is ridiculous as our systems are under immense pressures, both climate & infrastructure related.
Short sightedness is too prevalent.

I originally came for the Katie McGrath podcasts, but I've stayed to enjoy others like this one.

They've been genuinely interesting to me. I highly recommend you check them out.

Fun fact: this scene came from a moment when I was staying with a close friend of mine and she had to walk me through an anxiety attack and tell me that I was not, in fact, dying on her couch.

My favorite thing about itch is that YOU own the ebook files!

If you have a Kindle or you read with a Kindle app on your phone or tablet, you can read the books that way:
yes! your kindle (and whatever devices you have with kindle apps on them) has a specific email that you can find in your Amazon account, it's probably be something like [email protected], you can email the file to that address and it'll show up on your kindle!

Honestly "Don't Engage, Just Block" has transformed my social media experience so profoundly that it's hard for me to describe. It's just so much better to be online now.
i also liked the fact that most of us who had come from the other site had the mentality of not giving "bad actors" the benefit of the doubt on here , and told all to block, not mute, an move on

My hot take for Bluesky is they should have kept the invite system
One of the great things about early Bsky is that we promoted the idea of engagement. That is, instead of follow for follow, we followed those who conversed with us. Engagement leads to connection. So please, let’s not lose that! Engage, not just like—that’s why I follow folks, myself!
