If you ever have imposter syndrome or think you're not smart enough to get where you want to be, remember that this man who thinks Labour can simply "scrap Brexit", has a PhD and was on the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee.

#MicroTreks
“You can be anything,” Q says. “Why play humanoid?”
Odo folds his arms over his chest. “Why do you?”
Q’s brow raises then he leans back in his chair, smirking.
“I’ve learned to be a pyrithian bat, a vaporous cloud of light,” Odo says.

Critical Role and a lot of anime ARE fantasy. The genre has expanded a lot since the 1970s. I'd say the D&D players who are big into logistics, and erroneous ideas of historicity and realism are the ones who may be less into fantasy and better served by historical fiction.

Agreed, truth shouldn’t be suppressed. Which is why it’s best not to dump it in a landfill site, pour over it a slurry of half-truths, misinformation, insults, blatant lies, random speculation and conspiracy, and then above that stinking mess type the word ‘True.’

Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
…And really, THAT song?

Steve Jobs email he sent himself 13 months before he died.
Whenever I re-read this, I regret waiting so long to have read it again.

Civil society, not civil war. Do please repost, #Elon

Elon Musk’s uncalled for interventions on our riots - civil war, two tier policing etc - are right wing tropes that the extreme right want to be true. But they traduce reality. Is this what his “free speech”means? The untrammelled capacity to spread disinformation?

Tomorrow morning you’ll see the people who live here tidy these streets up. Small gangs of thugs do not a mass movement make. You’ve been taken in by your own platform, which amplifies noise at the expense of facts.

Our country needs to hear this right now…
This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell
Calling out the baselessness of racial fear and hatred
…and we need our leaders to follow suit.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

In terms of Imane Khalif having a “biological advantage” let’s discuss Michael Phelps.
Phelps has:
- Double jointed elbows & knees
- A hyperextended thorax
- 50% less lactic acid production than the average competitor
And yet, no one ever said he had a biological advantage.

Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth. She’s spoken about being initially banned from boxing by her dad who said it wasn’t for girls.
The attacks on her show that transphobia doesn’t only hurt trans people, but also other women who don’t fit conventional ideas of femininity.
