The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Image resembling a vintage (circa 1950s or 60s) magazine ad. A 50s trad wife in an orange dress and white apron holds a pumpkin pie decorated to resemble a jack-o-lantern. Her dress is stained with blood & more blood is trickling from the corner of her mouth. She is standing in front of a blue backdrop with faint images of skulls, pumpkins, masks, and monster faces on it. The entire image is splattered with red blood drops and drips.

Remembering Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born in 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Here she's performing "Didn't It Rain" at a train depot in Manchester, England in 1964. She's often called the "Godmother of Rock & Roll" and influenced future music icons like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley.

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

Disability will happen to almost everyone. Most people are only temporarily abled. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not a choice people make. The human body is frail. It only takes one illness, accident or stroke of bad luck to forever change your health.

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.
wired.com
Sam Neill Inspired a Generation of Scientists
The actor, who died at age 78 on Monday, embodied a passionate approach to research and positive masculinity in his role as paleontologist Alan Grant in the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park.

This is the link to make a comment about the proposed OMB rule change. This rule change does many things, most most centrally it effectively moves the power of the purse from the legislative to the executive branch. www.regulations.gov/document/OMB... This is incredibly dangerous.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.
A red poster with a white logo (a polygonal heart lifted by 2 hands) and the title "United Videogame Workers – Hardship Fund", followed by this copy:

"UVW-CWA stands for every game worker: for those still employed and fighting for union contracts and those who have been callously treated as disposable by executives who've never shipped a title. 

We are proud to announce our launch of a hardship fund for game workers across the US and Canada who have been subjected to layoffs. If you are a game worker in need of support, please apply."

Below the text is a link to the initiative (as in the post) and the UVW-CWA logo.
