Mostly here to talk about SFF stories and how to bring down capitalism. Sadly doubt they can be combined. Sports talk may also occur.

I have not watched The Boys but on account of watching trailers for The Boys I now require there to be an SFF series of some sort that stars Karl Urban and Dominic Cooper as brothers. Perhaps they could get up to some hijinks?

I know a lot of the culture around what weight and size you're supposed to be is based in plain old misogyny, but this is a bit on the nose, ain't it?

This guy has wildly escaped containment and I love that people like it, but to reiterate:
1.Yes you can get it as a tattoo.
2.No you cannot sell craft patterns or merch
3.I appreciate the mistake and yes I do have the personality of a morose victorian poet, but this is from 2024 and under copyright.

Staggering to watch pretty much every news outlet in the country report that Sandy Peggie has won her tribunal case despite her losing on almost every count, and despite the ruling stating that the Supreme Court FWS judgement does *not* require trans women to be excluded from women's spaces.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I know this is not new and is just how shit works now and has been for a while. It’s also like fun and vaguely engaging. But so much of the internet is now just “I stole a journalist’s work and am reading it to you and monetizing it for myself.” This has happened endlessly with our Flock reporting

I should be happy with the Ekitike double, I know, but Leeds playing Gudmundsson as a lone winger is giving me flashbacks to Sweden's world cup qualifying campaign.

In S17 of #Taskmaster, Nick Mohammed dressed as a vampire for his tasks. The production scrubbed all his reflections when he's dressed like this, but the only way I knew is because someone told me about it. It's subtle and very cool.

A new report on dietary findings in a select area of Pompeii likely inhabited by enslaved people came out in Scavi di Pompei. Many newspapers are now running w/a headline about Roman slaves “eating better” than free Romans. pompeiisites.org/e-journal-de... Let’s discuss why this is problematic

I had no idea that "We Built This City" was supposed to be the worst song ever, but my lord, am I bored with these sorts communal performance memes. See also "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" or "there was room for Jack on the door".
Lots of takes on "We Built This City" today, apparently.
It's not a song I have ever deliberately chosen to listen to, but its status as canonical "worst song ever" is far more tedious than the song itself. It's neither bad enough nor interesting enough to be worth the performative hatred.

I see many citing Tanith Lee as a good fantasy author to replace some tarnished names, which is great, love her, but do be aware she is balls to the wall, knee deep in the genre trenches, not safe for work or safe in any way, a wizard will sexually assault a horse skull and it's only chapter three

Not to be one of those guys who call everything liminal, but winter afternoons in Scandinavia* before there's any snow can be a real mind bender.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say “if you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like “give her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

A big worry, for universities, about college education becoming “female coded” is that it will tank applications from male students who … don’t want girl germs, I guess?
it feels like a bad reason to opt out of education that could boost your career & life prospects.
