It is funny (in the joker way, as per usual) how so many people's lives were completely shattered over copyright trolling from companies who treated downloading a song as a capital offense but the moment they could make money on it themselves it instantly stopped being relevant

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

The Fifth of #FatBatWeek 2026: Western Big-eared bat and Cranberry Cheesecake. Shout out to @albertabats.bsky.social, @wildlifeacoustics.com, @azbatrescue.bsky.social, @honkifurhoary.bsky.social who suggested the bat species. Half way through the week already!
A long eared bat with a simple but lumpy nose sits on top of a square slice of layered pink cheese cake with generouse thick bands of cranberry jam and a garnish of fresh berries.

not to get too deep about these old comics, but there *is* a recurring undercurrent of "even if you're rich and virtuous and pretty a bad thing could happen to you at any given time and cast you into the torture pit, so you have to be careful :D"

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

The Fourth of #fatbatweek 2026: Western Barbastelle and Hazelnut Pudding. According to my deep (wikipedia) research Hazelnuts & Barbastelle barbastelle range extends from Ireland to the Middle East. Spotlighting: @batrescueberks.bsky.social, @batconservation.bsky.social, & @battylisa.bsky.social
A dark chocolate coloured bat with a triangular head and a rather marsupial like nose array (it makes me think of a wombat's snout) clings to the side of a short round glass with a layer of hazelnuts then a creamy pudding topped with a swirl of cream, gold star shaped cachous and a pair of autumnal hazel leaves.

"Yeah, in Germany today, you can't even support far-right efforts to ban Holocaust memorials without someone calling you a Nazi! What is this country coming to?" (www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
"But Silke Schutz, 63, a baker who called herself a “staunch AfD voter”, described the Stolpersteine as “a waste of money, regardless of who pays for them”.

“There are so many victims no one cares about,” she said, citing people killed in traffic accidents. “We had nothing to do with the war and at some point it [remembrance] has got to come to an end. But when I express my opinion, I’m insulted as a Nazi.”"

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.
Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name Closeup of the photo from the Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name .

As one pal put it, " a very John Conner look "Closeup of the text for the photo that says 

" Ticket wars

Above: Inside, Jordan Baker, Joe Peyton, Mat Lyons, Josh Lemley and Steve Roberts passed time by playing Star Wars Trivial Pursuit as they awaited the Lucas epic.
