Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

The last time I researched this, I discovered the timeline "sport is open to all; woman wins; sport is immediately closed off to women; women's league is eventually formed years later" is almost universal. Women's leagues were overwhelmingly created *strictly* to protect the egos of men.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

Happy Birthday Darkest Dungeon! Red Hook Studios co-founders Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman have shared the following message to mark the 10th anniversary of Darkest Dungeon’s 1.0 release. #darkestdungeon

A Statement from the Red Hook Founders

When we founded Red Hook, our goal was to support ourselves while making a game of our own dreams. Simple to describe, but not easy. We knew the difficulty, of course, because we had previously worked on other projects at other companies. We had seen our share of canceled games, failed games, or games that were good but couldn’t find a large audience.

10 years ago, on Jan 19th, 2016, Darkest Dungeon was “completed” and released as 1.0.

It was immediately clear that we had bottled lightning. Back in the pre-release days, we didn’t dare to entertain the fantasy that our work would resonate to the extent it has, or find such a passionate and creative audience. But it did.

As we reflect upon this 10 year run (11 if you include early access), the fullness of time has made us realize that connecting with you, the audience, proved to be one of the most fulfilling and thrilling parts of the entire dungeon crawl. Thanks to you and your perseverance, the game wasn’t just flash in the pan.

This game about resilience showed its own resilience. A hardscrabble and mean game about making the best of a bad situation created an incredibly good situation for us and the development team.

We are so grateful for everyone who has ever engaged with Darkest Dungeon over the years - whether by playing, making art, filming let’s plays and guides, getting yourself tattooed, writing, posting, commenting, and of course critiquing. (And yes, we love reading about the occasional party wipe due to spiders. Patently unfair, but always funny.)

Whether you have been with us since the days of Kickstarter or just completed the tutorial yesterday (hopefully Reynauld and Dismas both survived), we are happy you are here. And stay tuned - we're not out of the dungeon yet.

This expedition, at least, promises success. –The Ancestor

–Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman
