Actually ignore me. I just looked it up. Yep. Dopaminergic effects. Interesting!

Do we think they have some sort of dopaminergic effect? Surely this can’t be purely about satiety?

Indeed.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Ok. Provide evidence that both sides of Korea want to “unify”. Explain what “unify” means in this context. There’s a good chap.

I’d be more confident about SLS getting me to space, but I’d feel equally sceptical about re-entry.

I get what you’re saying. And to be clear, I dislike Musk intensly. But they’re taking different approaches. The launch-break-fix approach has done well for SpaceX over the years. I dread to think what might happen with the heat Shield on Artemis.

Are they though? Starship is showing steady iterative progress. Still behind its original timeline but it’s getting there. SLS/artemis is slow and seems stuck.

Yeah I heard that there was sectarian voting involving Muslims voting for a party with a Jewish leader, or something.

The first episode of the #Scrubs reboot is genuinely, truly, surprisingly great. Just so much heart and silliness and wisdom. The themes of burnout and loneliness ground the series, while the surreal humour shines.

What do you mean I’ve said a lot here? I’m really, really confused by your response.

Has a recent Scream movie done anything with the concept of so-called “elevated horror”? I know one of them was essentially about legacy sequels, but obviously that’s a different thing.

I can’t speak for the guy you’re replying to, but the fact that he put “normal men” and “just participated” in quotes suggests he probably does not view them as normal or innocent.

Me too. And this is despite the fact that I work in the field of trauma arising from abuse. And yet I’m perhaps too charitable in my views of other humans.

5 panel comic

P1: Title. "HOW TO DRAW A HORSE"

P2: "SKETCH A SHAPE LIKE THIS"

Beneath, we see a pencil sketch of a kinda squooshed rectangtangtangtangtangle

P3: "TURN IT INTO A HEAD"

The shape is now a horse head. This shape, it gives head.

P4: "NOW, COMPLETE THAT HORSE!"

We dolly back to see the glorious complete abomination. The head simply has four legs jutting out of it.

P5: A wide panel, showing the crime against creation frolicking through a field. A blue sky filled with fluffy pink clouds fills the background. On the top left, a single word

"congratulation"

Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist.

However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊

@kierongillen.bsky.social Watching a documentary about the philosophy of maths and they just started talking about how Plato believed that each of the "platonic solids" was tied to one of the four elements, with the fifth "arranging the constellations in the heavens", so our reality is defined by:

I have also told them that every football team is called [City name] Man United because the men of that team are United.
