The longest wait time for a Gender clinic has fallen from 224 years to 155 years, with a mean of 61 years and a median of 19 years. This is why trans people DIY. Because the NHS system exists as punishment if you don't.

Want to see the data yourself? Clinic Level ➡️ datastudio.google.com/s/h84DGtaKCXw National ➡️ datastudio.google.com/s/r7RF2GocFAA But if you want the FULL Story, you'll have to check out Clare's interview, breaking down stats, behind the scenes, and what this data means for us

oooooo NASTY

An officially licensed Knightmare game, based on the British TV show, is coming next year www.eurogamer.net/knightmare-g...

I'll not pester Mike over this, just quietly unfollow, but also I need people to understand the "slop" aspect is only part of the issue. By saying "its only a tool" ignores the environmental and ethical impacts of AI as it stands in its current form and we should not be following like lemmings

The ultimate goal of AI is so that the wealthy can have access to skills while denying the skilled access to wealth. With AI we don't get the inventive Mike Daillys or Jeff Minters or Shigeru Miyamotos. We get recycled memories of life as seen by a machine for the sake of the rich

I'm so fricking cold, so I'm gonna warm up with a HOT HOT Twitch stream. Live now for dinner chats and continuing my Silent Hill play through Come join - twitch.tv/mrtomftw 💀🎃

Sorry to hear about Ethan Klein. Like literally sorry to have had to see his name today

h3h3 staff are all like "we can stand his unwavering support for a genocide, but we draw the line at adultery"

But it did cause a lot of private data to be harvested, so, who can really say

Ofcom published a report today that pretty much declares the Online Safety Act a complete failure

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Well, so much for the next Mass Effect then! It takes a really special talent to run a team like Bioware into the ground but EA fuckin managed it.

Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point UK—arranged a murder-for-hire with paramilitaries. Conservatives are terrorists.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

I'm getting back into collecting physical media. Streaming is no way to support artists! Now playing: Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses. Tis the season! #typeonegative #goth #gothmetal #physicalmedia #nowplaying

I still don't know if hashtags actually *do* anything on Bluesky. Maybe they're good for the discover feed - WHO KNOWS? WHO CAN SAY?

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

Wew, they're not joking about Nextfest being full of AI slop. The ignore button is getting a work out tonight. Also judging by a couple of demos I've played some of those devs are being naughty naughty and not disclosing

Still there's always this

NO COMPLAINTS! NOT ONE! Because people who aren't TERFs tend to be decent and want everyone to get their best treatment.

The wild thing to me is no cis people are remotely bothered by sharing a ward with a trans person. It's completely an elite manufactured problem. novaramedia.com/2023/10/04/t...

Banning books is the sign of a healthy society and definitely not something to be extremely concerned about 👍

NEW: A Palestine book by Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari has been pulled from Penguin Random House just before its release. As a result of the dispute, a long-running series of nonfiction books by marginalized folks on the histories of their peoples is also ending at Penguin Alana + Jenan speak out:

Its nearly the weekend and of course I'm streaming. We're well into October and therefore the retro-horror 👻 👿 Friday- Silent Hill ✝️ Sunday - FAITH: The Unholy Trinity Join me at 8pm UK time both days. Please and thank you 😁 twitch.tv/mrtomftw

I've tried writing "Happy Birthday" on a cake and it just doesn't work out

Mum's a baker and taught us all. As a child, I assumed that when a man cums it's like squeezing batter from a pastry bag. I was astonished when I first saw the jerky, uncontrolled ejaculations of my boyfriend. 20 years later, I think my idea was better.

I'm sorry, an AI guy telling you "The wool is being pulled over your eyes" while simultaneously owning a huge ass yarn factory will never not be funny. You're literally part of the problem my guy.

Morgan Johnson@poormojo.bsky.social

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

ah great, the Xbox controller I use for my PC has developed a pretty bad case of stick drift

which reminds me - I've got at least three other Xbox controllers that need various repairs. I should get around to them now I'm without an actual working controller. Ho hum

Great, replacing the analogue stick sounds outside of my skill level, both in terms of soldering and also calibrating the new stick. I've gotta hope cleaning it works.
