Dr Stew Hotston (he/him)

Strong cheddar? Absolutely yes!

I mean it feels...symptomatic of the times we're in and I say that with much sadness.

hot take: thick cut marmalade and peanut butter together on toast is good actually.

*There were, in fact, no other hot food takes.

cool, well if you're able it's be good to catch up

Oh god yes. 100% yes.

in the same way that I don't need to watch 1950-60s movies to understand and enjoy movies made now.

@tadethompson.bsky.social are you at Eastercon? Asking for a me who would like to have a cup of something noncaffinated quietly somewhere if you were.

Hmmm. Let me have a think. @jamiebgall.co.uk feel free to hit me up direct if you have a brief you can share.

FT reporting that Axel Springer has bought the Telegraph…

The lower court findings in the US last year probably had more of an impact but it will definitely impact thinking going forward. But the public fury over it seems to have been decisive so far.

UK to delay difficult decisions on AI copyright rules Government goes back to drawing board after its proposals triggered backlash from creative industries

In the FT today: UK to delay difficult decisions on AI copyright rules. It may be behind a paywall, sorry, but confirms the consult results upended their original proposals. @chronicleflask.katday.com of interest - not gone away but means there’s more opp to influence final outcome

it's preoccupation isn't the same - not in language as you describe it, but it is very much about looking at social differentiation through social schema that use crime as a jumping off point and (in text) deliberately ignores the efficacy of such strategies while interrogating them metatextually .

is it reasonable to see this as a companion piece to Fríða Ísberg's, The Mark?

she didn't.

Yes. Often. The book of disappearance and some day everyone will always have been against this being the two most recent.

Yes. I will be there doing things (and hiding in the bar)

all they want to do is take and not give back. To use others to make their lives better. They are the epitome of selfish. no wonder they love a slave economy so much.

Thank you!

I need to get in contact with @goodlawproject.org but all they have is a contact form on their website. Any ideas?

If you're excited about the Lanterns trailer you should check out Rebel Ridge starring Aaron Pierre because it shows just how amazing he's going to be in this show.

as someone who, growing up, would regularly have white folks use racial slurs freely and then turn to me and say 'we don't think of you like that/as one of them' I can only say that the ability to have two faces is a common human trait.

right? the sheer ignorance in that statement 'it's just a game'.

This book deserves your love

I've just seen a neighbour on the local SM platform ask for help to justify her deleting her 12yo's 5 year project on Minecraft because 'it's just a game'.

She is not getting the help she thought she would. And quite right too.

you can mute a swathe of words - it's really helped cleanse my timeline

The data gathering closed last feb. That is very different than the results being published in a white paper.

Oh i agree 100% with that.

I honestly think the OP is rage farming. With a consultation ongoing no minister can comment - those are the rules and his ‘rumours say’ is bollocks. The government clearly stated this was one option right at the beginning of their consultation. i hate it too but this is rage bating for engagement

No need to cancel elections when you can do this

I'm really excited to see this one come to life. Definitely worth your time.
