WHY HANNAH FRY IS AWESOME, HISTORY OF SPACE TRAVEL EDITION: youtube.com/shorts/ADfkI...
Name a single person who's been talking about this who isn't a tech writer or deeply invested in seeing AI take off.
I loved this run of Strange Tales, but thinking about it now makes me wish I'd grown up with anthology books like 2000 A.D. for the regular exposure to more artists and writers.
That's a good point; at first, my brain went to the defiant "shut up, I can do that in my chair and run over your foot while I'm at it" crowd, but it makes sense that it could just come across as more feel-good nonsense from people who don't have to deal with disability or want to think about it.
Given how often we don't let artists know what their work means to us (and then make a big deal about it once they're dead), I'm glad he got to see that. It's such a wonderfully silly bit of local history, too, that it's a shame to see it go.
The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls
The day could not have brought better musical news than a new Lice album. First track's an excellent introduction for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure before and "The Burgers" is basically our entire world described in five minutes. Priceless. aesoprockhomeboysandman.bandcamp.com/track/who-se...

🚨 This is not just a post — it’s my child’s life.
In Gaza, he is fighting for survival while we search for a way to get him the treatment he urgently needs outside.
I am pleading with you — don’t scroll away.

Somebody suggested a plaque that wouldn't require any maintenance and I hope something like that happens. At the very least, it had better stay on Google Maps.
They're still one up on my local MP, who sent out 2026 calendars in last week's mail.
I encountered that buzzing during the service issues last Thursday and figured it was just a one-time case of a speaker being driven too hard or not being secured properly wherever it was mounted. Somehow, it figures that it would be more systemic than that.
If anybody from around here even needed to play the video, I'll be disappointed.
Just imagine some cloud-computing knob seeing this and thinking, "Well, maybe we should put together a backup for the backup"... and then crying when they see what their own data centres have done to the cost of hardware lately.
You'll be back.
About the same age here and yes, it's a fantastic look. Adding a black leather jacket to the mix replicates about 90% of the crushes I had that decade.
"Israel almost immediately closed all the crossings into Gaza, including those designated for humanitarian aid."
"Gazans fear that another of Israel's wars will go unnoticed: the resumption of its starvation policy in Gaza."

A larger red box with a clear window on the right side to show off a generic "doctor" figure in a short-sleeved white uniform with a black belt. Most of the packaging artwork is the same as that for the individual figures, but there is also a photo of the contents of the box set up on a pebbly surface: a stretcher, a patient lying prone on a gurney, operating-theatre lights, an IV setup, various canisters and blankets and cleaning basins, and a large beige (possibly) canvas tent open at one end with an MSF logo on the roof and window holes cut out of the side. Wearing a big white lab coat, the doctor action figure is posed leaning over the patient on the gurney, clearing doing Important Medical Stuff. A small white box in one corner announces that purchasing this set resulted in a donation to the charity that would pay for five doses of some vaccine or other (as opposed to the single dose you'd provide buying a figure on its own).
If you go looking for this stuff on eBay, you'll find an entire line of the toys available: a radio operator, a surgeon, a pilot, a nurse, etc. as well as patients with exciting accessories such as crutches. I think my favourite, though, was the hospital-tent playset.
Packaging for one of many Médecins Sans Frontières actions figures: an articulated-like-an-'80s-GI-Joe figure clad in very brown trousers and a short-sleeved tan uniform shirt with an MSF logo on the breast pocket is sealed inside a blister pack attached to a red backing card featuring a very '70s-looking painting of three heroic doctor-types wearing stethoscopes and communicating over CB radio as a sturdy 4WD vehicle navigates a mountain road off to one side. Assorted white or black text on the package reads as follows: "MISSION MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES™ / FIGURINE TOTALEMENT ARTICULÉE / ÂGE: 5-10 ANS / Aidez Médecins sans Frontières: une figurine = un vaccin" Various accessories for the figure are also sealed in place, including a plain white stethoscope and a white doctor's bag with appropriate branding.
Also today in "Wait, that was a thing?" news: discovering that someone in '80s France wondered, if G.I. Joe was a hit, why couldn't Médecins Sans Frontières action figures be, too? And then made donations to MSF based on sales.
Ah, memories of the Stille Post days...
“If I can’t have an underwater parking garage for my spa, maybe I can get my construction buddies to build an island for me for about a decade.” Do the favours and kickbacks ever stop?

Honestly, if certain heads of state wanted to decamp to a remote island somewhere with nothing but a bread knife and a belt of grenades, I'd chip in to buy them the necessary plane tickets.
Probably not news to anybody else, but I just learned from the artwork in a who-cares D&D update that the kids from the old Saturday-morning cartoon have been part of Forgotten Realms canon for years and also appeared in the 2023 D&D movie. Neat! gizmodo.com/dungeons-and...
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Our deadly flaw was taking conservatives seriously, thinking they had serious principles, when all they want is money, power and the deaths of brown and queer people 😐
Went home during my lunch period at school, made a sandwich with leftover chicken from the night before, absent-mindedly put my keys on the chicken plate which was then wrapped up and put back in the fridge, spent an hour trying to find those keys so I could go back to school.
