Got to obey the mug.
I stayed up until 1AM last night to order the Enterprise-D Lego set that was launched at that time, and it's a good thing I did, because now it's as good as sold out 😬
Definitely not something I'd trust Santa to give me, and I was obviously right about that.

Trans Norge-poden er ofte bra, men den siste episoden der Bent Høie snakker om det kjøligere klimaet for skeive er spesielt anbefalelsesverdig.
Selv om det såklart er drøyt når @bestmedbart.bsky.social påstår han ikke er kjønnskonform all den tid han er MANN MED PODCAST!

the way Valve treats developers isn't always great, but man as far as quasi-monopolies go you really do gotta hand it to em
like, if Epic had Steam's market position, somehow I don't think Tim would be leveraging it for things like "what if we forced everyone to make Linux gaming.....good......?"!!

I think one of my problems is that in banking money is both the product being bought and sold *and* the currency you buy and sell in. It’s like if I was in the banana market and paying everyone in bananas. 🍌 Is this the money-money or the product-money? 🤷🏻♀️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that getting vaccinated against shingles- a painful and debilitating condition that can flare up years after infection from varicella zoster virus- not only LOWERS the risk of infection, but can also PROTECT against Alzheimer’s disease!

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

It's wild how bad XML CDATA is. Ooh text that doesn't need to be escaped, sounds fantastic! But CDATA can't include the string "]]>" and can't be nested. Hard to design a more useless feature than that
