people need to know this story
Casting itself was incredible2; here we have Bryan Cairns in SYFY WIRE quoting producer Ralph Winter:

    Michael Jackson came in and wanted to be Charles Xavier. Shaquille O’Neal came in. He wanted to be Xavier. I remember Shaq walking through the door. I shook his hand and my hand disappeared. The guy is enormous. There was good conversation. Then, Michael Jackson came through. Not shaking hands at all, of course, but very pleasant and polite. He was fascinated with Charles Xavier, as well.

Tatiana Siegel in The Hollywood Reporter adds some detail, quoting producer Lauren Shuler Donner:

    “I said to him, ‘Do you know Xavier is an older white guy?’ ” X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner recalls. “And Michael said, ‘Oh yeah. You know, I can wear makeup.’ ”

I don’t have the space here to get into a black Professor X, and I certainly don’t have the space to get into a whiteface Professor X, so maybe it’s best we just move on. Well, one more quote on that from Siegel’s article.

    With that, Jackson queued up an elaborate presentation complete with the short film Ghosts, in which the pop star morphed into a 60-something white mayor railing against a well-meaning performer who entertains local children with magic tricks.

Rather than creating clunky bureaucratic vetoes that paralyze command timelines during a crisis, the White House should work with Congress on an Alliance Integrity Act. This statute should mandate that STRATCOM and the National Nuclear Security Administration hardcode permanent targeting inhibits into software architectures, ensuring that American nuclear codes cannot physically enable strikes against Israeli or NATO territory. Furthermore, the U.S. should negotiate low-key, classified annual technical annexes with Paris, London, and Jerusalem to update these geographic withholding lists.

I came to Frieren via the anime and only a handful of episodes in it was clear this would be one of the great fantasy works. As someone with pretty esoteric tastes Frieren is super normy friendly while also having the weirdness and depth I crave. Just a 10/10.

But by the time of Last Ditch's monthly community meeting on September 11, only one of the original founders, Matellian, is still involved. The two others stepped back from the daily operation months before, Matellian says, citing various pressures and health issues. One had enrolled in clown school.

A version of the "Aella's birthday gangbang" Sankey diagram but it's about Bluesky posters thinking about posting Sankey diagram jokes, leading from "thought about Sankey diagram joke" through various iterations of workshopping and writing the joke (with various dead ends due to forgetting about it, losing interest, etc). Eventually at the end the joke is finally posted; some posters do numbers with it, some don't, some came in a fluffer
