1) I thought we all knew that bird people are even worse than horse people (and only slightly behind gun people) in this department. Beware. 2) Editor is not the same role as fact-checker. 3) What a shitty thing to say when his editor has probably stopped him showing his arse a hundred other ways.

The right healthcare for my 'biological sex' would require dealing with the bits I have now and not the bits I had 51 years ago, all of which have been removed.

It would IMO be better if MPs had not utterly deranged their own brains on Twitter dot com, wildly radicalising themselves and each other.

This is an absolutely disgusting tweet.

I'm sorry you'll resign but I was in a mixed sex emergency ward with my mother as she had no where to go and tbh I was more concerned about the trans person there because of how my mother would...

Pah really? Being int the correct sex ward makes sure you get the right healthcare.
Easy rhetoric, jump on a bandwagon, call me names... actually... bore off

illConsidering your late mother couldn't help herself but harass a trans person, do you not consider that bigotry? Is harassing trans people on a mixed-sex ward the new policy of the labour party?
It seems that you think trans people shouldn't be receiving care at all.

Well done Ton, just look at the vile response.
These truly horrid people have had the freedom to be disgusting without anyone saying no to them. Far too many weren't told No whilst growing up & now throw a tantrum when adults move back into the room.

There's a two part series by Maintenance Phase giving the background on Brand that you won't read on the BBC. Spoilers: it's bad (the background - not the episodes which are great)

Cover reveal!! With gorgeous artwork by Trisha Srivastava, THE FROG PRINCE is published by Putnam Books and hops into bookstores on 22nd June 2027 🐸👑

Cover for The Frog Prince by Lucy Lapinska. Cass, a thirty something blonde woman, puckers up to kiss a cute looking frog sat in her hands You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs to Find Your Prince!
Thirty-something, unemployed, and living in the shabby home left to her by her beloved dad, Cass Gabriel knows better than anyone that you have to kiss a lot of frogs betore you can expect your prince to come along. She just ... takes it more literally than most. But what she doesn't realize when performing her annual good luck tradition by the back garden pond is that sometimes wishes really do come true, in the way that you least expect.
Because this new year's kiss triggers something impossible when a small, ordinary-looking frog explodes into a man.
A very naked man. And one who announces himself as Dahlan Anura, Crown Prince of the Seventh Kingdom.
Looking atter a real prince charming who has been transplanted into a Nottinghamshire housing estate is one thing. Falling in love with him is quite another. And as Cass, her best friend Kori and their motley crew of friends and family learn, the road to a fairytale ending is never entirely straighttorward.

The magnificence of the mushroom

Post
I'm studying biotech and every time someone brings up mushrooms our current professeor will look either extremely excited or pained and go, "listen, mushrooms are neither plants nor animals nor something inbetween. We do not know what they are. Some are immortal. Some produce life-saving substances some are so closely related to humans that eating them may cause an allergic reaction against your own body. I cannot teach you about the mushrooms.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today.
www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
