This is a thing you should get. If you like Science Fiction, kinetic action sequences, superb narrative illustration and/or slightly wry humour then you probably need this massive tome in your life.

On the 3rd of October 1982, the 1st episode of Super Dimension Fortress Macross aired. Created by Shoji Kawamori, this would be the start of the iconic Macross franchise. Happy 44th Anniversary 🎉

The timing of this, when I am currently watching a show where the protagonist is trying to prevent the distribution of a device that secretly robs the wearer of their humanity but purports to serve a useful purpose to gain users is painfully ironic.

Ah, Lakon Spaceways... A company that never saw an aesthtic flourish it couldn't cut in order to maximum internal volume... The Type 6 Transporter - a brick. The Type 7 - a brick with delusions. The Type-8, a brick with crane parts stuck to it...

The square-ish, solid shape of the Type-6 Transporter, a spacecraft from the video game Elite:Dangerous sits on a landing pad rather like a Robin Reliant does in a parking space...

Mono-chan the blue monkey is the mascot for the Chiba Urban Monorail, which hangs down like a monkey does from its tail.

#ShareGoodNews - Scotland's first commercial wind farm decommissioned 26 wind turbines with less than 0.1% of the materials going to landfill. Clean energy and clean materials is a cycle that bears repeating.

This, absolutely this. The ability to produce grammatically correct, and context appropriate strings of words is not evidence of sapience. It will not achieve sapience. It is literally just the ability to mimic language. It isn't General Intelligence, and it isn't going to be.

People in the UK need to understand the time and clinical scrutiny trans people have to go through to get from “coming out” ➡️ “getting hormones”, never mind The Surgery and never mind “social transition” whatever that may look like to each person. Especially on the NHS.

Honestly, as much as Peter Cullen was identified as Optimus Prime, I will always remember him as much for Eeyore. He brought to life a donkey weighed down by sadness and struggling with life, who nevertheless was always right there for all his friends and there is something low-key inspiring there.

Hmmm. Love that they are just texting out diagnoses now. No preamble, no support, advice or pastoral care. Just "You have been diagnosed as [redacted] and are at a high risk of developing [redacted]". And "here's a link to a webpage if you need any information and advice".

Up at 7am on a day off Went out at 8 for a walk to the park By the time I was walking back at 10:15 it was already hotter than I'd like. Still got another 2C before we hit the hottest temperature of the day at 16:00hrs. Think I might be staying inside away from the sun for the rest of the day...

Also this goes for every commissioner out there. SFW & NSFW Artists get targeted by PP regardless if they are complying to their rules or not. So, please do not give them any reason to freeze someone's account and ban them from using PP, some people don't have other options but to use it.

They don't just employ ivory tower academics, they employ administrators, caterers, cleaners, electricians, plumbers, gardeners, caretakers, medical staff, etc etc etc. By closing a university you're not just punishing the academic elite. You're punishing a glorious cross-section of society.

Universities and students are not enclosed units, ivory towers separate from the rest of their local communities. They eat and drink (a lot) including spending lots of money in local pubs and restaurants. They shop. They get buses, taxis and Ubers. They put money into local economies.
