The fucking legendary WAIT to fake bomb them to show them you knew the whole time.
Legend.
i love that there was definitely an intelligence briefing where someone in charge heard that there was a fake airfield in progress and went, "...hey you know what would be funny?" and then everyone else agreed it was indeed SO funny that they would devote man-hours and a sizable log to making a fake bomb to drop on it while being only somewhat busy fighting a war, but never too busy for a funny craft project
Look morale is very important okay.
Cloudy this afternoon! I decided to use lines only for this sketch of Vue Park Tea Rooms. #urbansketchers

Turns out the British public has more positive views of lgbt people than the British media would suggest. Cis lesbians are tied with cis bisexual for expressing the most supportive views on trans people

Some encouraging news.
Really glad they did this research - especially because YouGov is a credible, well-regarded, and fairly accurate pollster. They're one of the most prominent polling organizations in the UK. So it's not like just anyone is giving these numbers - you can have a fair amount of confidence in them.
Given British media and assholes online, I definitely would not have called that cis lesbians and cis bisexuals are tied for most supportive of trans people. Very, very nice to hear.
It's too delicious

I see US tech jounalists on Mastodon, once again, charging against the EU for "damaging european users" by forcing companies to deliver "a subpar experience". So let me paste something I wrote over there a few weeks ago:
------
I keep seeing very important US tech journalist here talking about how Threads not launching in the EU is:
- somehow shameful and a sign of how "you can't innovate in the EU"
- a problem for the EU, which will led us to creative interpretations of the GDPR to finally allow Meta to launch here.
And I think folks from the US tech scene really, really don't understand several things:
1) how incredibly hostile the EU (and a good chunk of the European political parties) are to "big tech".
2) how surprisingly immune to lobbying the EU Parliament appears to be.
3) how actually popular it's that the politicians take a hard stance against macrocorps. Every time the European Commission has gone against big tech most the press and the people have cheered them as our champions against evil.
And I can't even start describing how IMPORTANT for the future could be that people started being able to turn off YouTube algorithmic recommendations. I think YouTube shares with meta, pretty much 50/50, the responsibility for the global resurgence of fascism we have seen in the last decade.
The EU isn't perfect but I celebrate every time they get pissed at big tech firms for data and privacy breaches.
Or having 20000 different charger cables. 10/10 EU in this regard. Be hostile against algorithms targeting consumers.
