Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Road to Empress is simply a delight so far. It’s basically Dragons Lair but with a fully filmed story with live actors just like a historical cdrama. Super fun that’s it’s based on Empress Wu Zetian. Very clever in that it uses typical plot tropes but the right choices aren’t the typical ones!

Heavenly Bodies is a 2p card game inspired by Gin Rummy and Koi-Koi.
Each turn is simple: draw cards and discard cards—but you have to be careful. Do you take this card now? Will it still be there next turn?
Players *must* balance their choices against reading their opponent’s goals.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

We went to pumpkins aglow at the conservatory again this year! Such a fun family Halloween thing to do. Iris was a unicorn, I was a moth (I made it several years ago!), and Jer was the Totoro I made two years ago!
