looking it up, apparently this was an artist who made signs like this to parody the actual city council's signage, just told apart by his logo in the corner, "christchurch city confusion", and they had locals rly confused for a bit. my favorite is this one!

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag.

Genuinely sat there teetering on the edge of a panic attack watching Keir Starmer talk about how banning kids from social media will "give them their childhoods back" because I can't stop thinking about what it was like to be a lonely scared kid who can barely leave the house but still find friends who are just as weird as you and see youtube videos where people talk about being gay and web series where girls kiss each other and love each other and gradually start feeling like that is less of a shameful thing to want and I do not think this turd of a man has ever had to think about that kind of shit in his life
The youth clubs were shut down. Kids got complained about as being intimidating when congregating outside anywhere remotely visible (and so safe) and now the one space they have is being taken away from them. This will harm vulnerable kids and it won't fix the problems with social media (because apparently that's too hard /s). The scope will take away spaces from them that aren't even traditional social media because there is a chat function too.
But even without this, even if you didn't care about the children side of things, this is primarily a data harvesting operation. You will need to confirm your age to avoid being shut off and that will be done by the same shitty American third party websites that already have history of data breaches. There's also talk of VPNs being banned (though good luck with that) so options to stay anonymous are being removed but by bit. It is completely authoritarian (and if you think Reform will fix this- they won't. They will love this if they ever get in power).
hey don't cry. on december 3, 1926, agatha christie went missing for eleven days and because the uk police didn't know what to do they recruited sir arthur conan doyle, creator of master detective sherlock holmes, but all he did was conduct a séance to try and contact her distressed spirit
Exclusive: Commons motion calls for code of practice to be blocked amid concerns over impact on transgender people
A number of Labour MPs are increasingly doubtful that the guidance on how organisations should implement the supreme court ruling on sex as it applies in the Equality Act is workable in the real world, with some predicting it will unleash a wave of competing legal claims.
...Much of the hearing involved how the rules would work in practice. Kevin McKenna, a Labour MP who is a former nurse, questioned whether trans patients in hospitals could really be cared for in gender-neutral side rooms, given these are scarce and often needed for clinical reasons, such as for patients who are infectious.
In a statement after the hearing, McKenna said he feared the code “may not survive contact with reality”, adding: “This guidance is not ready, not practical, and not safe to implement. It will lead to terrible situations for trans people and their friends and families. It will not make life any safer for anyone else.”
Several MPs said they had been contacted by trans constituents who were particularly worried about the situation on hospital wards. “Several people have told me they are actively avoiding seeking medical care over fear of what ward they will be put on,” one backbencher said. “One trans man said he would rather die than be put on a women’s ward.”
Another Labour backbencher said that even after the government had worked with the EHRC to expand the guidance and include more practical examples, the situation felt unworkable.
“It doesn’t seem logical that we have introduced this system where we can challenge people on the way they look on whether or not they can use certain services. Because it’s so unclear what people should do, it feels like it has opened the door to a series of legal challenges.”

The most recent Android update making it impossible to actually disable any AI features no matter what you do is surely a sign that this technology is the future and about to take off and make everyone SOOOOO much money that all the nay-sayers will be sobbing about how they were fools who should have listened and invested. Everyone knows you have a winning product if you have to uh *checks notes* trick and/or force people to use it against their will. Great job, everyone!
so my friend is getting married in September and when I asked what he wanted as a gift BC I wanted to make something, I forgot to specify "probably fibre crafts" so he and his fiancée were like "dinner gong?" and sent me this one they found as a reference
it's made of a first world war shell casing
anyway I am never one to back down from a challenge so I was like "yeah fuck it I'll give it a shot, let me see what I can find in the charity shops and if I can't find a copper kettle or something then I'll use a nice biscuit tin I have lying around"
i don't have the metalworking capacity to reliably fix a hook like in the reference, but what i DO have is decent woodworking skills and sheer bloody-mindedness, so the plan is to make a stand where the shell-case slots into a hole in the top, upside-down, and hopefully it's fitted well enough to be secure. the shell case is really loudly resonant even when it's standing on the table as above, so i think that slotting it into a frame by the solid base will let it ring just as loudly.
that can then be framed up on a nice, solid base (possibly weighted? will have to see how stable it is in practice, it might end up quite top-heavy) and if i can get an engraving tool i'd like to carve some mottos into the base.
i think this will work! however it does require me to get hold of some stuff:
good hardwood for the frame (i have lots of pine and spruce but i don't think that will stand up well to being hit repeatedly against metal - i'm keeping an eye out for second-hand furniture etc that i can cannibalise, which will probably be cheaper than buying fresh timber)
a properly-sized hole saw (i can do this by hand but it will 1. suck and 2. not be as well-fitted - a guy in my archery club is a professional woodworker and i'm thinking of asking him if i can rent his workshop for an afternoon)
engraving tool
also a bunch of time and effort which is the real gift obviously. fuck knows when i'm going to do this. but i AM going to do this.
