On Earth 2, we can't believe how good the new HBO Animorphs show looks. "They nailed the morphing," people enthuse. The nonbinary actor playing Ax's human morph is cutting it up on the Las Culturistas podcast. The actress playing Rachel has handcuffed herself to a data center

Watching The Social Network and there's a scene where the head of IT at Harvard gets a middle-of-the-night call that Harvard's network is gonna crash because the volume of traffic generated by the misogynist proto-Facebook program FaceMash, and he has to tell his wife he needs to go back into work

A note re Warren Ellis: I've seen the narrative floating around that the process of transformative justice between Warren and SoManyOfUs fell apart for reasons outside of Warren's control, sometimes with an implication that these reasons were on the side of SMOU. This is not true.

If you’re a recent murderer talking to Columbo and he’s casually curious about how a crime could’ve happened in a certain way, there’s no need to wildly speculate! Just nod and say “Yeah that’s weird. I have no idea.”

Here’s the thing about Y2K, the ozone layer, etc. The most leftist—in the sense of *valuing labor*—thing you can do is reject the brainwashing that tells you that heroism is running into a burning building and not the slow, patient, boring, unglamorous work of *preventing* disaster.

I think a lot of people would have died without the work of people like you. The power grid could have gone down, air traffic control, supply chains, medical equipment, water infrastructure… You prevented a disaster. That is heroism. Heroism doesn’t always have to be running into a burning building

we aren’t spending enough time and energy trying to understand the societal-level normalization and acceptance of the widespread sociopathy of cis men just get a fucking divorce and go to therapy, you violence-drunk stunted egomaniacs www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...
