I curse ITVX with every fibre of my being!

"Radio 4 Extra is not a dusty exercise in nostalgia. It is living proof that great broadcasting does not acquire a sell-by date." The loss of #Radio4Extra is the loss of access to a rich and wonderful archive. Don't tell me it'll be on #BBCSounds - you try looking for anything on there! #RadioDrama

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy

Two University of Leicester students speak out over ‘absurd’ and ‘Orwellian’ decision by the BBC and ITV Studios to edit out pride pins worn on University Challenge

Alright fuckos and fuckettes, I'm in a good mood because I did two Parsewords in a row ON HARD MODE. www.parseword.com

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

Britain’s top-selling far right politics magazine here telling its audience that broadcasters, officials and political leaders are plotting to kill them and their loved ones, and are concealing their intentions. What conclusions does Dougie here want readers to draw about What Must Now Be Done?

A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

I swear the BBC shuts down BBC Three every five years

Wow, I never knew that.

now playing the very beautiful and charming 'over the hill'

Boomers spent their peak earning years demanding lower income taxes now spending retirement years demanding no property taxes — that puts a very large burden on the income-earning generation squeezed between their kids and declining parents.

We made this but it really distressed my toddler who kept repeating "baby pumpkin don't like it" until we removed the small pumpkin. Later when my husband was holding his baby brother the toddler sternly told him not to eat him. We've accidentally introduced a 2 yr old to the concept of cannibalism

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

look if shit is so dire for the democrats that they NEED every vote from trans people, maybe they shouldn't run candidates who are transphobic or fold on even the slightest pushback to trans rights it's not our fault y'all's guys suck

While very little of what the new UK porn bans talk about are things I'm into, I'm still uncomfortable with the idea. Consenting adults playing with fantasy with other consenting adults - that's not an area I think the law should be wandering into.

What? *This* Daily Mail?

New White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia: “They have said I only took questions from conservative outlets. However, The Daily Mail is not known to be a conservative outlet or friendly to conservatives.” Brits everywhere: *hysterical laughter*

*mock holding one of those ghostbuster detector things* Woah! The Scaramouchi radiation is off the scale here!

As catastrophically bad as you may think she is as a press secretary, this week's QAA podcast reveals that she's a QAnon true-believing lunatic ("Look how many times Trump took a sip of bottled water in the press conference, he's sending out a message") and actually far worse than you imagine.

British Comedy Guide spotting a trend in podcasting that is pushing out the old guard. Things move on, though I'd hoped podcasts would move in a difference direction. Fun while it lasted though! www.comedy.co.uk/features/ico...

Ebbheads, there's still time to vote for Esoteric Ebb for Best Indie and PC Game of the Year at the Golden Joysticks! GO GO GO FLING APPLES AT THEM IF YOU HAVE TO https://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/

Honestly, the way Jeremy Hunt is treated as voice of reason on the economy bewilders me. It's like having Boris Johnson on to discuss how best to abide by public health rules.

Texas star Colin Simmons hit with unsportsmanlike conduct after sacking Faizon Brandon for “simulating using the restroom.” Pretty good descriptor by the ref

Did you know that 'Wednesday' is the only word in the English language with 'day' in it? #JoeFacts

needless to say, the fact that the president is personally participating in *heavy sigh* generative animal snuff content at a time when his secretary of *heavier sigh* war is threatening to livestream an execution presents a more pressing and specific issue... but the moral rot runs super deep here

The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Making a t-shirt that spells out "Protect the Dolls" but entirely in poppies
