I adore this recent trend (if that’s the right word) of letting an orchestra play classical music on a festival. It’s magical to see thousands of festival-goers going absolutely wild on Beethoven. Mosh/circlepits, crowd surfing. It’s wonderful to see the orchestra and the audience having the time of their lives.
They have to keep it on easy going Beethoven like Ode to Joy here to ensure a more docile response. They cant play In the Hall of the Mountain King cause they were already burning down venues when Grieg dropped that one back in 1875, today there would be a radioactive crater.

A tech company is apologizing after trans students were “outed” to their classmates because of an data error that affected eight school divisions in Saskatchewan.
Edsby is an online portal meant to help teachers, parents and students communicate. Students can use it before the school year begins to take a look at their timetables and see whether they have any classes with friends.
Earlier this week, a Saskatoon parent discovered her transgender son was deadnamed on the platform. Deadnaming is when a transgender person is called by their birth or legal name, rather than the name they identify by.
“[My son has] gone through all of high school as a boy, so here he is in his last year — outed,” Monika said. CBC has agreed not to use Monika’s last name because she wants to protect the identity of her 17-year-old son.
Hi! Op here! So for big budget games especially, voice actors and motion capture actors play a big role in bringing games to life and 100% included in “people who make games” because yeah.
Lots of games have amazing dubs and voice acting and fmv motion capture work that make games look nice and sound good!
And they’re treated like shit!
Recently voice actress Erica Lindbeck was run off Twitter because she asked for a video of someone using AI of HER VOICE to make a video of a character singing and this keeps happening
And those are all things I could think of off the top of my head. Voice actors have their work CONSISTENTLY undervalued despite the hours of work they put into bringing characters to life, and the games most likely to have voice actors are the ones with massive budgets and realistic.
They should fucking unionize AND hopefully this encourages more people in the industry to unionize and strike. Everyone in games should be paid more
The UK government has today announced a new building requirement which will prevent gender-neutral toilets in new, non-residential buildings.
A policy announced on Sunday (13 August) as part of the government’s Levelling Up scheme revealed requirements for all new builds to separate male and female toilets, which it argues is to “protect single-sex spaces”.
“The change comes amid dignity and privacy concerns from women and elderly people who feel they are being unfairly disadvantaged as publicly accessible toilets are increasingly being converted into gender-neutral facilities,” the statement alleges.
Pro-LGBTQ+ activists have previously signalled the importance of gender-neutral toilets, including conservative MP Caroline Nokes, who said in 2022 that the “inclusive” facilities are something she stands up for “enormously.“
Following the policy’s announcement, Nokes told PinkNews: “What matters most when it comes to toilets is design. I always point at Portcullis House in Parliament which has bathrooms on every floor, nobody refers to them as gender-neutral bathrooms – they are just bathrooms.
The UK is increasingly hostile for LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people. We used to be rated 1st on the ILGA Europe Rainbow Map, we fell to 14th by 2022 and now the UK’s ranked 17th. The latest iteration of the Conservative (Tory) party, in government, is largely to blame but Labour are also backsliding on LGBTQ+ rights as they follow the Tories to the right.
I’m honestly so fucking tired of the ONE PIECE bullshit on this website. Now I’m stuck with the goddamn clown (and clowns are my phobia, thanks @staff , you assholes) idiot in the corner of my screen.
Fuck that shit, @support , how much did Netflix pay you to force this on us? I don’t care for One Piece, and I care even less for the live-action abomination. It’s shit, just like the Cowboy Bebop live-action adaptation was shit. I don’t care about it. Take it off our dash.
