UK politics / policing bill / genocide
Solidarity to all GRT people in the UK today as again they find themselves one of the early minority groups to be hit hardest during the infancy of a fascist regime that's testing the waters with genocide

cannot get over how the Namielle alpha+ and beta+ armours in MHWorld just straight up turn a femme hunter into an Inkling from Splatoon.
like... does Nintendo know you're doing this, Capcom??
...do I care??
no. i mean the armour set is useless to a Greatsword main like me, but GOD it looks good. and better yet I can get layered armour so I can wear whatever armour I like and still look cool :3
This take (https://www.xda-developers.com/windows-11-defending-system-requirements/) is hilarious.
Instead of bringing the average mobile device lifespan to the same level as that of computers, we should "change PCs as often as we do with phones to support the business model of hardware manufacturers"?
A gentle reminder that Windows 11 is nothing more than a Windows 10 reskin: *real* minimum requirements are identical

clicked ona twitter thread to share it with someone, and of course it opens the web interface, and of course,, that means I get to see the god awful "what's happening" sidebar thing but one thing just jumped out at me.
today, for me, it shows "Could Kier Starmer be the next Tony Blair??" and see, I'm like 85% sure that they mean that in a glowing, adoring way.
....but there's another way to read that too.
with no changes to that headline.
that is far more damning.
'Ouch!'
I yelped and staggered as tiny claws dug into my bare feet.
A sinuous, feathered little lizard with tiny wings chirped at me and bounded away with all the energy and grace of a month-old kitten.
I sighed and examined the scratches -- she'd barely broken the skin, but it was important to teach her it hurt.
Maybe fostering a dragon on a cat had been a mistake?
Then again, the one raised by geese was a real problem these days ...
...actually I don't own a legit copy of that album even now lol. I copied it onto tape from my cousin's cd she had of it and listened to it until the damn tape got chewed up in my handmedown alba hifi system. e_e; (luckily I'd made a copy. Twin tapedecks baybeeeeeee!!!...but it didn't sound as good tho, cause, you know, analogue and sequential copying :< )
I should probably fix that.
like everyone was like "OH SHIT THIS IS A GREAT FUCKIN' TUNE I WANNA HEAR MORE OF THIS SWEET FUCKIN' TRANCE/TECHNO TRACK" and nope it's fuckin' crunchy guitars and screaming and anger and a sense of loss of self in a capitalist hellscape and struggling with gender identity and sexuality in a world that Does Not Want You To Exist, and that just... threw a lot of people, at the time.
Hell it threw ME out for a loop too. I rapidly grew to love it though, even though at the time I didn't know why.
i think honestly some of the blame for babylon zoo's "boy with the x-ray eyes" not doing so great as an album rests squarely on Levi jeans' corporation's shoulders, or more specifically whoever made the choice to alter and edit Spaceman to just be the sped up intro, rather than the actual song.
The song's a fuckin' banger, the entire album is amazing, doubly so now I'm older and ... well... also that I've Awakened My Gender as it were. But I think it got dismissed at the time due to Levis.
they just waited until everyone stopped paying attention, and did it anyway
