⚠️ I follow and comment on NSFW stuff.

I'm a 36m British writer, designer, gaymer, lefty snowflake, and AuDHDer. I never shut up about Ace Attorney, and I collect Tamagotchis. Trying to learn Japanese, currently N4-ish. Ask for my Slowly ID!

  • Is that the old Apple marketing font they're using? I feel like that's what they were going for, at least. 🤔 Even down to the periods at the end of the headings.

  • It's only a matter of time... 😭

  • Why do people call it “woke”?

    Jump

  • It's from African-American English, from the 1930s! And it's always had more or less the same meaning – originally "being awake to (aware of) racial discrimination", but now it's obviously grown to cover discrimination and inequalities in general.

    Would that imply that things that are not “woke” or are “anti-woke” are “asleep”?

    Yep! 👍 But don't forget, these people are also against Antifa, i.e. "anti anti-fascist". They don't care how bad the labels sound, as long as they're making people's lives miserable.

  • Credit scores drop at fastest pace since the Great Recession

    Jump

  • Credit scores are meaningless. I'm currently under an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) because I lost my job and couldn't afford to pay my debts.

    It's literally a court order that, among other things, says I'm not allowed to take out credit without permission, or move house without permission, until the end of the 7-year IVA. I have to give all my available income to a company and they divide it up between my creditors.

    So, literally a "this man can't be trusted to manage his debts" contract.

    And yet! My credit score keeps going up and up. 😬 I'm now substantially above the UK average.

  • Channel 4 to mark Trump’s U.K. visit with “longest uninterrupted reel of untruths ever broadcast on television”

    Jump

  • They literally included Channel 4's Tweet saying it starts at 10pm... and still somehow got the time wrong.

  • Charlie Kirk killing invoked to bolster UK’s largest far-right rally in decades

    Jump

  • Well, precisely. If they get their way and never have to see a brown person again, it'll be the transes next, then the gays and disableds and anyone neurodiverse, and then... women, I guess?

    And they still won't be happy, because they're too fucking thick to see that it's ultra-rich people they should be angry with. 😬 Omg what a magical time to be alive.

  • I don't think it should be called a "protest" when it's, like, "protesting against certain subsets of humanity existing".

    Kinda feels like a totally different thing.

  • Charlie Kirk killing invoked to bolster UK’s largest far-right rally in decades

    Jump

  • At the very least, racists.

    I'm getting sick of reading about "anti-immigration protesters" clashing with "anti-racism protesters"... last time I checked, the opposite of "anti-racism" was "racism".

  • BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage

    Jump

  • In January 2006, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) changed the classification of the licence fee from a service charge to a tax. Explaining the change, the ONS said: "in line with the definition of a tax, the licence fee is a compulsory payment which is not paid solely for access to BBC services. A licence is required to receive ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, satellite, or cable". A briefing paper from the House of Commons Library described the licence fee as a hypothecated tax (i.e. one raised for a particular defined purpose).

  • Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70

    Jump

  • And why wouldn't you? Resolution and framerate are the same either way... and I think you can even play with a real Wiimote on Dolphin, instead of the shitty Joy-Con motion controls.

    So it's basically $70 for... what? New pages in Rosalina's storybook? Lmao no thanks.

    Nintendo's greed is staggering, this generation. I couldn't believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. "I know you haven't given us your money yet, but... please can we have some more? 🥺"

  • The BBC is taxpayer funded, it shouldn't have to "sell" anything.
