It’s absolutely criminal that when talking about the Fox X-Men no one ever mentions the killer performance of Brendan Halberstein as my all time favourite X-Man: Forget-Me-Not!

Cold take: the quality of food available in places is super variable and what people think of as a measure of quality also varies so much that big generalisations about the US and Europe as a whole are completely pointless.

Rereading @elgoonishshive.bsky.social from the start is such a trip. Seeing the characters go from sexist jokes to deep exploration of their own gender queerness as the author matured is amazing.

This is great news! (Note for people not familiar with the UK constitution: although King Charles gives the speech he doesn’t have any say in its content, this is a change in direction by Keir Starmer’s government)

Seeing Ruby Cruz in For all Mankind is awesome, but also makes me sad we won’t see more of her character in Willow. That show was mixed, but Kit Tanthalos was brilliant.

There are people I trust who are getting good, even amazing results with gen AI assisted coding, but literally *every* time I see someone trying It it results in bad code and takes far longer than doing it by hand would have. So what am I missing? Why is my experience so different?

The pagan Spring Equinox festival of Ostara is not the antecedent of the Christian Easter, because the pagan Spring Equinox festival of Ostara was created in around 1973. I appreciate that a statement like this warrants some substantiation, so bear with me.

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News. Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

The Memorial Garden ended up there because HTL shares a boundary with the building that used to house LASS. When LASS closed, they got full control of the previously shared patch of land on condition they created the Memorial Garden. But Peter is absolutely correct that this doesn't sit right

Just a reminder: if the police frame someone for a crime it makes it *impossible* to know whether they did it with any certainty *even if they actually did it*. This is one of the reasons why police can’t be allowed to get away with framing people … even if they are guilty.

Just because you can in hindsight find some utterance of Trump’s from his election campaign that can kind of be seen as saying that he’s currently doing if you squint doesn’t mean everyone who didn’t realise he would do exactly this is stupid and/or not paying attention. He said a lot of things.

Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

Top right shows a photograph of a person’s ear, highlighting the shape and features of the earlobe and cartilage. Bottom left shows a close-up photograph of a person’s eye, with a vivid blue colouration. Bottom right shows a photograph of a person poised to write with their left hand on the blank white page of a spiral-bound notebook.

it's lunacy to anyone who has studied the matter, but many many *many* Americans think fascist and far-right economies more generally were economic powerhouses, and not freaking basketcases. eighty years of accidental propaganda about the Nazi war machine.
