A rich person can never be held accountable. Therefore, a rich person must never make a societal decision

The trans war flag. Had some fun with this! Deeper colours than the peacetime trans flag, square, with a guisarme on it- a peasant's weapon that's particularly good at fighting anyone rich enough to be on a horse, that you can use as a farmer's tool in peacetime.
The trans war flag. Square, with deep blue in the bottom left, warm pink in the top right, and a thick band of white separating the colours that runs from the top left to the bottom right.

From bottom left to top right is a black icon of a guisarme.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Can everyone just fucking grow up about Harry Potter, please? They are not good books, they were not good movies, it won't be a good television series, and the author is a literal cartoon supervillain using her money to make trans people's lives worse. It's 2026. Get a fucking personality.

David Attenborough looks at how animals form partnerships. Birds rid larger animals of itchy hangers-on, hermit crabs enlist stinging anemones to repel octopuses.

Sure, Jared Leto is a creep with multiple allegations to his name over the course of two decades, but you have to understand that he's also a mediocre actor who's a nightmare to work with and whose movies are critical flops that don't make money.

I've been enjoying reading Jim's account of tgis 3-way clash. Merfolk, Woodfolk and Hillfolk on the hunt for buried treasure. Always a joy seeing a multiplayer game of Shivershield, it works so well. Lots to keep everyone on their toes!
