Finally watched Pacific Rim a few nights ago, so I greatly appreciate this reference 👍

Also large swathes of cast and crew, including the leads, in The Abyss never wanting to talk about that film ever again because the filming was such a nightmare.

If the Corbyn party isn't strong on trans rights I have no reason to personally regard their platform as much better than "brownshirts with better healthcare". If this feels unfair, tough. Earn this vote or lose it.

Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social are the marginals on these boxes post-licencing worth directly funding anti-trans policy? Or do you just generally hate queer people? Asking for my audience, & those of my other creator friends xoxo

The nunchaku ban harks all the way back to the martial arts craze of the 70s. They were banned due to their "ease" of creation and usage by, iirc, soccer hooligans. Couldn't show them on TV or even at the cinema. Was still in effect when Soul Edge was released and Li Long's weapon was altered.
Matthew Shaw-Thomas (@agomist.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a blade length and concealment "issue"; so owning a longsword isn't banned afaik but the pigs will sure as shit stop and arrest you if you're carrying one in public.
Matthew Shaw-Thomas (@agomist.bsky.social) reply parent
Knife crime issues over here rather than gun crimes. The law *is* fucking stupid though; the image of doing something whilst not actually addressing what the actual problems are.

The age restriction on alcohol *only* restricts alcoholic products. This internet restriction stops kids from finding resources and help that they may need; be it that they're LGBT, have abusive parents, are self-harming, or a whole plethora of other things. It's punitive more than restrictive

To be 100% clear: Parents do NOT have "legitimate concerns" about trans girls on sports teams. They have knee-jerk assumptions, made up of sexist stereotypes, that self-serving politicians and media-types have fanned into a groundless moral panic. Trans girls playing sports hurts no one.

I hope the Criterion has the extra on it where Cronenberg details the difference between the censored R rating and the uncut 18 versions; it was a really cool side by side comparison *and* a great highlight of how the BBFC had improved after Ferman retired

My friend just finished her uni year; 81% on the final exam which was also top mark of the year. She didn't use any AI-LLM tools, many others on her course did... Anecdotal, yes, but fits with actual research that shows AI-LLM tools in learning do more damage than good.
