Finally this has hit YouTube! I watched it earlier this year with my partner (an STS scholar) and we both agreed that it’s an excellent/creative way of exploring the problem of technological masculinities. Plus it’s a wild story that’s relevant to the here and now. 10/10, highly recommend

Just watched Spinal Tap 2 and it's fine. Doesn't damage the original, some fun cameos, but also somewhat forgetable.
Got a gif out of it though:

A Russian drone hit a marked humanitarian vehicle carrying European journalists near Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine, N-tv reports. Austrian ORF correspondent Christian Verschütz and a Spanish colleague escaped seconds before the explosion.

Start making your own chocolates. It's really easy and being involved in the process makes the result so much more delicious.
Made some salted peanut milk chocolate today (the hearts) and some nougat chocolate with a middle layer of pure, roasted hazlenuts. (The broken up bar)

The bad news is that *even in the current climate* liberals, capitalists, and mainstream media will form a united front with the fascists to oppose a center-left candidate.
The good news is that they can be defeated.

I just want to put this out into the universe.
If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

Watching Westworld Season 3 in the year 2025 for the first time is quite interesting.
Might in some aspects even work better if you haven't seen season 1&2.
The whole theme park setting is basically gone and it turned into a show about AI and robots in the world of the rich and powerful.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
