Checked in today and saw a few people had started following me. Reminder that I'm not here anymore. Haven't had the energy to get Mastodon going yet so my main public social media place is Instagram right now. Thanks for saying nice stuff about Catwoman!

I really hope I'll have time to get contact details from people I talk to on here first but if not: I set up a mastodon but haven't started using it: socel.net/@McKelvie Instagram: instagram.com/mckelvie/ And a newsletter I'll be starting up again soon (link in bio)

Remember. Kevin McCallister could have phoned the police at any time. He was a child who had accidentally been left alone. One call and he would have been safe. But it was never about safety. He was hunting those men. He wanted them to die. It was fun for him. He enjoyed it.

The weirdest bit is actually "been here before? It's a great place isn't it!", it's SO forced. Tories who said Corbyn working in a homeless shelter at Christmas (not filmed) was "virtue signalling" better all be losing their fucking shit over this.
Quote Tweet
Sunak asks a homeless man in a homeless shelter whether he "works in business", then proceeds to talk about the financial services industry. Utterly bizarre

Josh Widdicombe became a father while shooting. One day he arrived at his dressing room to find a task addressed to his newborn daughter. He opened the envelope and broke down in tears. The task read: “Have the best life. Your time starts now.”

If 2022 has shown us nothing else, it has revealed, between Meghan, Amber Heard, Megan Thee Stallion, Evan Rachel Wood, etc, just how much money there is to be made across the board from the degradation and smearing of women.
Quote Tweet
"Jeremy Clarkson's actions against Meghan Markle epitomise how the abuse of, and violence against, women in Britain has been normalised. It sends a visceral message to women that we are not safe particularly ethnic minority women" On #Channel4News

Everyone who has a business dealing with the EU knows Brexit has been a disaster for us. The problem is getting politicians who have staked their reputations on it to acknowledge it, admit it and then act on addressing it. Until then the disaster will continue to unroll.

Anyone play Heavy Gear Blitz and like it? I've got an HGB starter box for use as enemy mechs in Weasel-Tech, and trying to decide whether to use the hexagonal bases in case I want to play HGB some day, or just use round bases to match player mechs.

Proud to join 85 MSPs in passing the Gender Recognition Reform Bill. The *already existing* process of obtaining a Gender Recognition Certificate will now be simpler and open to 16-17 year olds. A testament to the bravery and perseverance of trans people everywhere. Onward 🏳️‍⚧️

This government is going to lose but it seems determined to completely trash the country on its way out of the door.

Sobering but important thread on the potential impact of AI on artists and creative jobs that everyone should read and really digest ASAP.
Quote Tweet
This is going to be bleak but sit with me. My estimates for the near future: If nothing changes, I expect 60-80% of the artist workforce to lose their jobs in the next 2-5 years—not to prompters—just to company bottom lines. 3/

Hey remember when Facebook made College Humor go out of business because they artificially inflated their viewcount by like 10x so it looked like only posting to Facebook and nixing your own site was the lucrative option when it wasn't? Just remembered for some random reason...

Not only is this an unprecedented attack on devolution. It is an unprecedented attack on devolution born out of the Tory government's spite at trans people having rights. Shameful.

My statement on the Scottish National Party’s Gender Recognition Bill which passed today. I was disappointed to see sensible amendments to this bill voted down and believe MSPs need more time to address outstanding concerns.
