(oh on a side note i looked into the proposal document and actually read it for the skunk emoji and ngl I could not stop giggling that one of the major points they make is that it would be more hilarious if they put a skunk emoji in for the fart jokes that are already made using the dashing emoji and a panda emoji in combination to signify a skunk. I mean, i'm also a little insulted that AGAIN, skunks are relegated to a fart joke or pepe le sexual harassment lawsuit references but...)

public transport opinion

Okay self-driving cars seem like a really good idea, but I don't think they're ready to use on the open roads yet. I'd suggest keeping them on a fixed route where no other vehicles can go to minimize risk of collision.
We should probably have fixed places where people can get on and off. The cars come in, open their doors, let people enter and exit, and then continue on their journey.
Speaking of which, we should probably also make them larger to increase efficiency and again, to minimize risk of accidents.
We could even couple several of them together into one combined vehicle.
And since they're only going on a fixed route anyway, it makes more sense to use steel wheels on steel rails instead of rubber on asphalt.
I know it's an outlandish concept, but I'm convinced it might work really well if we ever get to try it out on a large scale

nothing against sparkledogs tho, absolutely not. unironically I love that sort of wild free expression of colour and energy and silliness and imagination and it should be embraced, not shunned and shamed.

me: "hm, you know, I don't think i ever had a 'sparkledog' phase... Is that weird?"
my brain: "don't make me tap the sign"
the sign: "You had a character who was a pastel coloured anthro fox at one point"
me: "....ooohhhh yeah I forgot about them. Wasn't their name like-"
brain: "THEIR NAME WAS LITERALLY PASTEL. YOU CALLED THEM PASTEL. THEY WERE VERY VERY GAY"
me: "...well okay but i mean... we both know they could have been gayer."
brain: "...okay fair yeah, we were young and naive."

ukpol, BBC News, government interference

"Sir Robbie Gibb, communications director to Theresa May when she was prime minister, tried to block the preferred candidate to oversee the BBC’s news channels because the appointment would shatter relations with the government, said people with knowledge of the recruitment process.

Gibb, who became a non-executive director of the BBC in April, issued his warning to the news division’s managers after Jess Brammar, former editor of HuffPost UK and deputy editor of BBC Newsnight, emerged as the favoured candidate in the recruitment process.

Gibb, a former BBC journalist, told BBC director for news and current affairs Fran Unsworth in a text message that she “cannot make this appointment”, said people privy to the communication. He added the government’s “fragile trust in the BBC will be shattered” if she went ahead.

Brammar’s appointment as BBC executive news editor has stalled since Gibb’s intervention on June 22 and taken longer than anticipated, said people involved in the recruitment process."

As if BBC News isn't as governmentally independent as RT already. Let's also not forget the current Director General received that appointment after a £400k donation to the Tories.

If Brammar does eventually receive the position, I wonder if that might improve the BBC's awful anti-trans bigotry? HuffPo's pretty good on that front.

(least favourites are the blos ones though. And urugaan. Radobaan is ok, but urugaan is just a fuckin asshole. I even prefer the Pickle and B52 to them. Hell even pleisoth and it's ilk like jyuratodos and even Lavasioth are better and more fun to fight than 'blos's.)
