As I revisit Buffy, do we all remember the episode "reptile boy"? Has anyone checked the basements of these rich men and powerful politicians for a giant demon snake that grants them all this wealth? No? Ok.

As a rainforest forms naturally all around this boulder, so do the more sheltered, humid conditions allow a rich bed of mosses and other plants to recolonise.

Season 12 is off to a nice start. Ash rescuing Wilmer was a good Adventure, and the Mystery of the Steel Pokemon Rampage on Iron Island is intriguing

I miss the days when Ash won his gym battles despite being grossly overpowered by doing something absolutely wild. These days the gym battles are more battering each other to a standstill than they are super impressive. Gliscoar did make a good showing, though

Ash, sees a microwave: "what's that?"

Is Sinnoh supposed to be their world's version of France? We've got this Gateau, Chateau thing as well as the one gym leader who was so French.
Speaking of which, take a drink every time someone says either of those words

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Maybe the doctor in the #Buffy episode "Nightmares" is violating HIPAA left and right because that's *his* nightmare: these people who say they're not even related to my patient walk in and I tell them everything about all my patients

Make no mistake—both Netflix and Paramount are fucking awful choices in the continued consolidation of our industry but if it comes down to Kushner and the Saudis, Netflix is the lesser of two evils
Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

AT LAST SHE STOOD by @erinentrada.bsky.social was one of my favorite non-fiction books for young people this year. I learned a piece of history I knew very little about.
The book is featured in Philippines Esquire this week. Worth checking out.
