I wonder how many people die each year as a result of lifeguards running in slow motion

A red-winged blackbird finds a perch during sunset at one of my favorite local parks in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the blackbird is positioned on what appears to be a stump but is actually a small section of a treeโ€™s root system from a tree that fell years ago. The bird sits in the upper left-hand quadrant of the frame, one claw slightly spread as it searches for a better grip. The background glows gold from sunlight reflecting off the pondโ€™s surface. The blackbirdโ€™s vivid red shoulder patchโ€”accented with a band of gold beneath itโ€”stands out clearly, echoing the warm tones of the background.

Bravo!
I can't remember a single UK government that has actually championed immigration.
Instead, a succession of cowards going back as long as I can remember, have treated immigration at best as a 'necessary evil' and I'm utterly sick of it.

There are no days. There is only the Year. Hours are numbered sequentially. We remove the idea that sunrise and sunset are a cycle. They are just individual events occurring in a longer span of time.

It would be AMAZING if Starmer gave that as a response, but it feels like more of a @zackpolanski.bsky.social kind of retort to me lol

When someone says โ€žScientists do not want you to knowโ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canโ€™t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love

Yawns are weird. You're tired? Why don't you open your mouth really big about it? What's that? You're not tired, but you saw someone else open their mouth big? Well, guess what.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

Given that we're told that Muslims as a bloc are communalist, anti-Semitic, misogynist homophobes, you might assume voting for a non-religious white woman, standing for a LGBT friendly party, led by a gay Jewish man, might lead you to stand down all those sectarianism headlines.

It might have been to do with how Saitama never gets the credit because he is a low ranked hero, so DM is figuring out how it looks like a conventional hero saved the day, baiting the player about how this always happens, and player is trying to find ways to prove it was down to them not wider party

lead into a 'Homelander' temptation.
Secondly, the focus on the secondary characters, and similar to Superman, there's the whole 'you can't be everywhere at once' dynamic.
Sadly I've forgotten the third one because I'm a bit drunk but that was the best one of all when it occurred to me.

2. One Punch Man which continues to hold my attention because of a few things...firstly, the 'ennui' element and the comic/tragic elements around being omnipotent, which could easily

Really interesting thread, and I think there's some fascinating directions it could be taken in, whether around the psychology of RPGs (or Isekai) or more specific things you discussed.
Two things sprung to mind though.
1. Superman is often about the constraints. Ultimate power but using it

SO! With Steam #nextfest kicked off I'mma start my thread of demos I played and the thoughts I had about them

These are all currently free to try out and I recommend you go do that if anything here sounds interesting!

Also! Having more to say doesn't necessarily mean better (or worse!)

Thing is, the goal here is *not* to improve infrastructure, it's to look tough against foreigners in order to gain approval.

Macro closeup of a raindrop about to fall from the branch of a plum tree with pink blossoms. The pinkish reflection in the droplet is still quite blurry so I donโ€™t actually know just what the rain saw. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Im still dumbfounded that under a *Labour* govt, that as a result of holding up a sign at a march, my wife could in theory, get arrested and then tried without a jury, sentenced to 12m+ in prison, and so deported, stripped of her visa, and never allowed to return.
Under Labour.
