I will never stop finding funny that one of the world’s most prominent and vociferous transphobes gave her main character a pet named Hedwig. I understand that the chronological ordering puts her naming choice first, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.
I like the Olivia Rodrigo cover of Book of Love a lot but don’t sleep on the Ana Gasteyer cover! So good

As an effeminate white teen and twenty-something man*, I had many more people telling me I was gay than telling me I was trans. And while it was irritating, it was also really easy to respond with “Nope, you’re wrong.”
Along these lines, MIT has a (really nice) room named after the actual developer of the idea of the military-industrial complex as a desirable thing. At any other university it would likely be a whole building, but unfortunately his name wasn’t Vannevar Thirteen.

My immediate and unconsidered response to seeing this photo was “Ohmigod! Why is she jumping in skates? That’s so unsafe!”

Local radio station playing The Lone Bellow recently and every time I can’t help but wonder what idiot thought that was a better band name when Sole Bellow is right there.
Now picture Nick Offerman in this outfit.

Oh that’s really nice. And somewhat impressive that the two most useful words for me were “from the”.
More time has passed since the Achen/Bartels shark attacks paper than passed between the actual shark attacks and the paper's publication.

I did one of their games ~15 years ago, I think, and it was good, but not good enough I wanted to give them any subsequent money.
Just went back and watched some clips of him playing himself in Don't Trust the B in Apt 23. He was so good on that show youtu.be/AEV-jJ07C_g?...
