Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Panel 1: Purple Guy looks at a laptop and says “boy o boy! I wonder what my comedy hero’s up to”

Panel 2: A tweet from John Cleese that reads “This is where the Arabs were ahead of us

By castrating all their slaves, they made sure that there were no descendants who could claim reparations”

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)
In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of:

improved recognition
changing help-seeking behaviour
institutional incentives
pressures within existing service pathways
Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including:

real increases in distress in some groups
improved recognition of previously unmet need
changing expectations about support
systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance
Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need. In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services.

The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.

An IMPORTANT quote chain and thread. Writers have been under fire for a couple of decades now. The collapse of traditional publishing, having their work stolen to train AI, and now the "slop police." If you hate AI, hate it. But don't hate the victims of it.

It’s also worth remembering that the Tough Techbro types who like to declare empathy a modern decadence seem to have missed that bit of their fave hard-man epic the *Aeneid* where the hero declares a land to be civilized because there, when considering pasthistory, “there are tears for things”.

This is an extremely corny thought and very dependent on health, income, and stability, but I thought a good way to approach life was to pretend you were a joined Trill from Star Trek and that you have a moral obligation to provide the worm inside you with a rich, fulfilling, and interesting life.

I'm gonna cry at this introduction to the art book from @mikemcmahan.bsky.social boohoohoohoooooo 😭😭😭
any other Star Trek that had Star Trekked before us... because we were going to be funny. We were going to have a good time, and honour the other shows. We had to love Star Trek more than anyone else had ever loved Star Trek.

Which is why every episode of Lower Decks required new backgrounds and characters. Every episode was very, very hard to make.

But we did it, and it was worth it.

When you watched Lower Decks, you get a tiny miracle. If you're new to Star Trek, then it's a fun show full of lovable characters in sci-fi situations. If you're a Star Trek fan, Lower Decks feels like a continuation of all the Trek shows before it. The cast makes you laugh, the music makes you feel, but the art is what holds it all together and creates a new world.been on TV in decades. We played with all the elements I love about Trek while, sometimes, expanding Trek into new areas too.

This is more than an art book. It's a thank-you note to everyone on the Lower Decks team who spent years (and a pandemic) building something unexpected, funny, and beautiful. Know that there are thousands of images that didn't make the cut, but this book gives you a good sense of the thought, passion, and talent that went into making an amazing five seasons of Star Trek.

Thank you to Barry Kelly, Megan Trevino, Brad Winters, and Nollan Obena for always being at my side, translating my stupid notes, and helping make this show I love. And even bigger thanks fo the army of artists, actors, writers, musicians, and everyone who lent their talents to Lower Decks.
