#SandiePeggie tribunal and the ongoing gender critical movement are setting back feminism by decades. The amount of misogynistic backlash unleashed on people who disagree with them says it all really.

By this metric, some harmless sod working in a warehouse is less welcome than some button-eyed grasping opportunist 'entrepreneur' who sets up a fake business to sell millions of quid's worth of shonky PPI to the NHS during a pandemic.

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism

Taylor Swift buys back the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums
Taylor Swift buys back the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums
After her former label sold her catalogue in 2019, Swift embarked on her lucrative album rerecording project – but now owns the originals for the first time
Taylor Swift has bought back the master recordings to her first six albums, giving her control over her entire catalogue for the first time.
She originally lost the rights in 2019 when her first record label, Big Machine, sold them to music executive Scooter Braun. Swift described the sale to Braun as her “worst case scenario”, and said she had not been given the opportunity to buy her work outright, but to “earn” one album back for each new album she recorded for the label. Her subsequent albums, from 2019’s Lover onwards, were released on Republic, with Swift retaining the rights to the master recordings. Continue reading...

It's just so obvious: if you try to counter a political opponent by co-opt their policies, you communicate to the electorate that those are the salient issues and if those are the salient issues, then of course the electorate will vote for the party claiming it has all the answers.

All this money & energy spent to make life more miserable for trans people could've been used to fight against domestic violence, wage disparity, sexual harassment, harassment of people accessing abortion services, proper childcare provision; you know, to make the world a better place instead.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin".
