There definitely was, but it was a 6 hour (gameplay) span in between when the game told me how to access the camera and when I decided I wanted to use it for the first time, and I didn’t remember what it told me to do (hit the - button).

I’m playing this game blind, and I feel blind right now because it took me over 15 minutes of trial and error to figure out the camera feature.

Meet my protagonist, Henri! He loves fashion and hanging out with his Pokemon. #PokemonLegendsZA

Physics Paths

xkcd.com/3155/

Vertical comic structured like flow chart. (1) Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value. (2) I hope *I* have value. I’ll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check. (3) [Time Passes] (4) Oh no! My insight didn’t overturn physics! But I don’t think I’m worthless… [arrows to two different options] (5a) Healthy Path: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value. (5b) Path of Ruin: The establishment must be *suppressing* my insight!

A side portrait of Neuvilette. He's facing to the left. There's a yellow and vibrant circle around his head in the background to add some contrast.

Given how much I’ve been enjoying Legends, this is a strong argument to pick up Digimon Story too 👀

Thank you for writing such a comprehensive article about the topic! I learned way more than I expected to.

I’m not even remotely surprised that the war on trans people would also throw cis girls and intersex kids under the bus 🙄

It’s clear from the article that the people conflating all three don’t understand the concept of consent.

The fight against female genital mutilation is being co-opted by anti-trans activists, hindering urgent laws from being passed.

And as the White House and Republicans falsely conflate FGM with gender-affirming care, it’s only getting worse.

New reporting from @jazzmyth.bsky.social and myself

Anti-trans policies aren't preventing genital mutilation — they're disrupting efforts to stop it

The bipartisan movement against female genital mutilation and cutting is being co-opted by anti-trans activists, hindering urgent laws from being passed.

Got to be wary of the breaking and entering sort in a bagel shop. We all know that criminals are good at picking lox.

Physics Insight

xkcd.com/3154/

Comic. PERSON: Sure, when *Einstein* suggests using the Lorentz transform to explain the connection between velocity and time, people call him a genius. But when *I* suggest it, it’s “basic physics” and “undergraduate stuff.” PERSON 2 with white hat: Such a double standard!

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

Even in a legitimate use like his, there are concerns. There’s a reason we don’t share needles. He should still want a genuine doctor treating him rather than rely on a shady practitioner touting a miracle therapy. Wow, this metaphor holds up pretty far!

I have a friend who has a blood disorder. He has to donate blood every several months or he’ll get really sick, because his body produces too much. Leeches would have effectively treated that back in the day.

Somehow I get the feeling he’d still take the needles over the leeches though.
