    I legit had to reread this several times before I realised it wasn’t intended to be a conversation between the Beta Male and the Alpha Male.

    I just stumbled across this nugget of advice from Scott McCloud. I feel I’ve spent years going into long-winded, rambling monologues based on the principle that is here deftly condensed into two panels.

    Just so you’re not swayed by the headline, a teacher was not suspended for refusing to use the “they” pronoun for a pupil. He was suspended for gatecrashing an anniversary dinner to publicly harass the principal over being requested to use the “they”pronoun for a pupil.

    I just walked out of a shop in Glasgow, and a little kid standing with his mum says, “Well, well, well, look who it is: some guy.” I could spend hours at the writing desk trying to come up with a line that good.

    This is why I rejected the people defending Late Night with the Devil using it with “it’s just a few little shots, no big deal.” Because we are now in a process of these companies testing the water with more and more, to see what they can get away with.

    Netflix has used AI-generated images in a new true crime doc ‘WHAT JENNIFER DID’ to present Jennifer Pan as happy & confident before she was convicted of murder. Use of AI tools is not disclosed in the credits. (Source: petapixel.com/2024/04/15/net…)

    Anyone else watching Frankie Boyle’s Tour of Scotland on BBC2? I had to stop and rewatch this scene three times, it had me laughing so much.

    Furthermore, an injunction wasn’t filed against him because of his pronoun opinions, but rather because after being placed on administrative leave over the aforementioned incident, he kept on showing up on school property and confronting staff and refusing to leave.

    Happy Halloween! This year’s costume is based on @junkmixart’s reinvention of Jason Voorhees as a Crystal Lake camp counsellor!

    Whether it be Naomi Osaka, or Meghan Markle, are numerous other examples, it seems there is nothing a woman in public life can do to instil more fury than setting clear boundaries on when and how people have access to her and the ability to profit from her appearance.

    BREAKING: Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open. She was fined for not going to press conferences for mental health reasons: "I am not a natural public speaker and get huge waves of anxiety before I speak to the world's media."

    Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler busting their ass to do the most memorable stuff while Roman Reigns and BRAUN are the ones wrestling for the title, and in the end it’s all about Brock Lesnar even when he’s not wrestling. This #HIAC main event was basically a microcosm of Raw 2018.

    Seems he’s made the calculation that being an anti-trans grifter peddling your tales of woe to the press pays more than teaching these days.
