The feeling I felt watching was familiar but I couldn't place it for a few minutes....then I realised....I felt the way I feel when I'm at a party and Cards Against Humanity comes out.

French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Stupid, unworkable, AND needlessly cruel are the slogans of the day.
I suspect they're delaying it because its mental and unworkable - and is clearly aimed at the exclusion of trans, and gender conforming people, from society.

Pleased to be one of the supporting musos in the research of this brilliant piece. I also had Singles Going Steady on cassette, it rarely left the Walkman.

Brilliant interview. The insight into your different creative processes was really interesting. Knowing when to wait/not relying on inspiration to strike. I think birdwatching is a great analogy. And I’d like to apologise on behalf of my generation for the queuing in pubs debacle.
