it says something that I still read YWAM as Your Wings Are Mine, Aoi Hayashi's sadly unfinished doujinshi from the early 00s, and i think I'm going to keep it that way...

i have to wait until hubby has finished getting Small Child to sleep before we can watch Traitors, so I'm catching up on GBBO instead. Nigella is really coming into her own now (and Paul is getting tetchy about it!). love the "well actually we're a throuple" convo on prime time TV.

from the book I'm reading about the mongols; knowing that many of the mongols were Christian, the Catholic Church attempted to dissuade them from battle by parading relics in front of the army. however, the mongols had an intense taboo against dead bodies, freaked out at the desecration and attacked

TIL you HAVE to have relics to beatify someone, and I'm not sure how that chimes with other beliefs about leaving the body whole?

For my ENG speaking followers Unprecedented High School blockades began in the outskirts of Paris in Créteil on the 21st of Sept. National mobilisations followed on the 29th of September, the 1st and the 6th of October. The movement is ongoing and has spread both in scope and scale. #tippingpoint

In March 1993, a newspaper in Novato, CA held a contest for elementary school children to submit their ideas for candy bars, then ran a whole page to celebrate them, because as a society we used to value whimsy and creativity. Anywho, take a peek through this 🧵and see what they came up with!

In some really big ways, Malfoid is the next logical step in the HP ethical war. If you like the series enough to tolerate the fact that its creator funds trans death, are you willing to make art and promote a ship that's being uplifted by racists, misogynists, homophobes, etc?

What I think is noteworthy: Shipping and fanfic have largely been populated with non-male writers, artists, and posters. This is yet another example of the right co-opting a part of internet culture. A few additional thoughts...

the final season of How I Met Your Mother rendered earlier seasons a bit of a crapshoot to rewatch. some are still funny, but a lot of plots are just a reminder of how much better it could have ended if they'd not been wedded to an idea the show outgrew years earlier.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

You read this and it sounds perfectly reasonable, right? Nobody should be saying people should be sent to camps! How horrible! Aaron doesn't mention that the REASON people are using "camps" rhetoric is because he very recently said that it was fine to use this language about and to trans people.

yes, this is the endgame; people are too used to ad services to pay YouTube to watch video, but if you make all the podcasts be video, then you can charge extra for audio only so you don't have to baby your phone in your pocket.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Wish there were as many books about Queen Big-and-Fierce as there are about Genghis Khan
When a Mongol envoy arrived to investigate, however, he found that in keeping with the fame of their women, they now had a woman chief whom they called Botohui-tarhun, a name that meant roughly Big and Fierce. Rather than surrender thirty maidens to the Mongols as wives, she took the Mongol himself captive. When the messenger did not return, Genghis Khan eventually sent another negotiator, and she took him captive as well.
