Silencing Bronze Age Voices feat. Donald Campell

On the Australian deporting flight they give you food poisoning.

honouring dobby's memory by burying him in the sand on the spot where he was murdered :/

The first half of this episode is a welcome throwback to the golden age of the show (if you swap out the Corbyn Mania for Tar the Toffee).

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. It took me FOUR YEARS to get my crunchyroll subscription cancelled. A full YEAR after they DELETED MY ACCOUNT DATA AND I COULD NO LONGER LOG IN BECAUSE I DID NOT EXIST IN THEIR DATABASE, THEY CHARGED ME A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE. I finally literally had to get my bank involved and document all my attempts at cancelling my subscription and I have to stress, CRUNCHYROLL BY ITSELF NEVER DID CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION, afaik the bank just removed the account routing to them. Sorry for yelling, I’ve been screaming at the car speakers this whole time. Brilliant episode

real heads remember when the House Elves Liberation Front was hit with a vexatious lawsuit funded directly by Rowlings

Louis Mosely CEO of palantir uk, btw, Oswald Moselys grandson :D

Trans archaeologist here. I‘m having a HELL of a week with this dobby shit.

"Light energy Wario" is surely Mario?

Oh man, what's wrong with JJK? :(

Sadly, now the CFPB budget is used for Russel Voughts security detail.

The Wizarding World and its consequences have been a disaster for the Muggle race

Brozen age voices are trans voices

Just to clear a few things up: there is "no Mr. Anime Man." There is "The Anime Man" (Joseph "Joey" Tetsuro Bizinger) an Australian Youtuber who lives in Japan and is currently engaged to his longtime sweetheart. And then there is "Mr. Anime" (Trey Eric Sesler), a Texan anime YouTuber who in 2012 murdered his whole family and tried to shoot up a school before being arrested. He is now serving a life sentence without parole.

I think the allure of Harry Potter and what drives people to become Harry Potter adults is that the fantasy there is of getting to be a special boy who gets picked out of obscurity and is immediately recognized for his talents and cleverness and everyone loves him and that is more appealing to the ego a person who privately innately understands themselves to be a huge loser though they'll never admit that, where Paddington is about imagining getting to be friends with a cool bear, which I think is objectively a better thing to desire but requires a level of maturity beyond these people's grasp.

The amenities have gotten alot better for those deported to Australia in the last 200 years.

If the trial is in Travis county I can be there

I can’t wait for the King of the Hill episode where Boomhauer has to work with the Texas Rangers Anime Consultant

As a Paddington adult, thank you for your benevolence.

Do you remember when Anne Rice had that massive beef with Al Copeland because he opened a gaudy restaurant at the exact New Orleans address where Lestat was last seen in her book series

Does it help to know the power connector stuff was made up on a podcast for a bit and not real, and it was just credulous low quality reporting that turned this into a story?

Our long international nightmare is over, Nova is back

One day books will be written about the insane period of time where UK institutions were more afraid of JK fucking Rowling than anything else.

fresh west is a beautifully desolate and stormy beach, huge roiling waves mirrored by the sand dunes which extend for miles back like some kind of otherworldly landscape - extraterrestrial, even. It is a gorgeously liminal space, ecologically and poetically fascinating, and it PISSES ME OFF ENDLESSLY!!! THAT ITS THE FUCKING HOLY PILGRIMAGE SIGHT OF THE WORLDS MOST SOULLESS GHOULS!!!

This guy was about to watch Gundam 00 and get radicalized against the Bush administration

Thnkfully it's looking like that Harry Potter grave shite is fake. The "grave" is real but the story about the connecter being moved bit.

The only way the elf thing could be funnier is if it was for a high speed rail, because I am sure Gareth would go on a banger of a rant

O hi

The crazy thing about palantir is that, you get yourself a few statisticians, data scientists/analysts, DBAs and you can do whatever they are doing, probably much better. It's all about normalizing the data, the way you store it is not that important. Postgres, DuckDB, MSSQL, or the british choice, an excel file, all can handle frightening numbers of rows and analytics.

Morally complicated Texas anime fan: He wants to continue Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid but has only seen the first few episodes and doesn't know about the child characters yet.

Andy Burnham solemnly pouring out a can of carling at Dobbie's grave

I hate Dobby. I can't believe people would mourn that little sock goblin. Harry Potter condones and normalizes slavery.

Palantir, look into me with questions and be deceived. Saruman, deceived. The Steward, deceived. Sauron, twice deceived.

For legal reasons this is a joke but I am going to Pembrokeshire next month for...no particular reason

the idea of institutions bending to fandom outcry is interesting to me because something like the harry potter fandom is obviously a paper tiger. they're not going to do Kidlit Jan 6, are they. yet the good people at whatever body the "outcry" is targeted at often feel the need to appease them. reminds me of how the "cancel culture" panic was enflamed by e.g. celebrities' PR teams responding to the complaints of completely random people online, and this kneejerk cowardice was then distorted into TERRIFYING ONLINE MOBS EXTORT CHERISHED PUBLIC FIGURE by the media. and then reactionaries took advantage of the same instinct of "pls don't get mad at me" to successfully submit complaints over e.g. trans inclusion, even though they too are a very small group of largely paper tigers

Hey! I broke that story for KXAN: https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/unblock-my-f-ing-anime-dps-arrests-houston-man-after-threatening-call-to-governor/

Good to see the British government has maintained its instinct to deport people to the Australia.

The Dobby's grave thing reminds me of the outcry when kings cross didn't do the fake train announcement because fans crowding causes issues for actual passengers - they had to issue an apology letter for cancelling it

Ok, but have they managed to get Mattie back down off of the TV cart that she insisted they wheel her into the room on for the last episode?

“Remember the Anime!” Texans cry

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury is available in full on YouTube on the official Gundam Channel. Calm down, my guy. No one needs to get hurt.
