Funny growing up in the late 2000s and seeing constant "don't text and drive" warnings, PSAs telling us to put our phones down behind the wheel, wait until you're home to send that text, a phone-distracted driver is a deadly driver etc etc

Only for modern car manufacturers to be like "we made the car a phone :) now you have to text and drive to change the radio station :)"

someone at work told me 'oh, just ask chat' when i raised a casual question and i asked what she meant and she said 'you know, chatgpt' like im an idiot. and i should get an award for the fact that i did not start snarling and biting and killing

slamming your knights visor down when you’re finished talking to them, like slamming the phone back on the receiver.

so they released the footage from the ice agent who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis in, what I can only assume is, an attempt to prove it was self defense and all it revealed was:

her last words were “that’s okay dude, I’m not mad at you”

he intentionally positioned himself in front of her vehicle but enough to the side to move safely out of the way

she was turning the wheel fully to the right in an attempt to drive away and not hit anyone

I don’t care if she was “ignoring lawful orders” to get out of the vehicle

I don’t care if she “shouldn’t have put herself in that situation”

I don’t care if her vehicle hit the ice dipshit in any way as she was attempting to drive away

nothing this woman did was grounds for execution

[coelii]

oh and let us not forget, his first words after shooting this woman in the goddamn head was to say:

“…fucking bitch”

the grinch is fucked up right. he was created specifically as a critique of the commercialization of christmas, but now all his edge has been sanded off. now he's a generic mascot for "hates christmas," which is great to have because the commercialization of christmas has become so overbearing that that's a demographic you can market to! and now he's just part of the Christmas Fold. he's santa's edgier joker counterpart. he has become the very thing he sought to destroy. back in november i checked out a customer with a $1100 order and most of it was grinch merchandise

The new Audible Harry Potter series is bad in uncomplicated, straightforward ways.

It is bad because it supports a woman who is actively funding groups that are seeking to deprive trans people of their rights in the UK and especially Scotland, where I live, where people inside the government are quietly remarking that they are struggling to fight against the groups she funds, as she has more money than God. Any money made from this new audio adaptation goes directly to funding these groups and these cases.

It is also bad because commissioning such an expansive series with such a well-known cast (Riz Ahmed?! Come on man) has eaten up the majority of Audible's commissioning budget. In the UK, the only people commissioning audio drama are the BBC (separate conversation) and Audible, and this new Harry Potter series has hoovered up resources that could have otherwise gone to new stories, new voices and money to creators that aren't actively trying to erase trans people.

I am angry at anyone who signed up to star in this, I am angry at the production companies that took on this commission, I am angry that this series continues to have a stranglehold on the UK media landscape despite all that its creator has done.

It is bad for trans people, it is bad for audio drama, it is bad for anyone working in media in the UK right now.

Do not listen to it
