The Great Extended Universe Re-reading Thread:
For various reasons I've fallen down the rabbit hole of re-reading the old Star Wars Extended Universe novels. For those unfamiliar with the term, these are the books published before the great Disney takeover and purge.

Yeah, let’s re-up these pics. I love them. The diversity of the human body is amazing.
From an old Twttr thread:
I really hate the whole “trans women have unfair performance advantages In sport” argument bc NOPE. Not every body is specced for every sport.
I bring back these pictures every few months. These are ALL Olympic athletes. Top of their game. Do you see the body diversity?

I'm at their second benefit show right now. (They just opened their 3rd set with "American Idiot.) These white suburban parents are wearing t-shirts with slogans like "RADICALIZED BY BASIC HUMAN DECENCY" and "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND BUILT BY STOLEN HANDS." (4/?)

no one can come up with a consistent definition of ”ultra-processed food” that doesn’t include yoghurt. the New Scientist letters page has moved on to arguing about whether it’s worth going with the term anyway for the vibe (no)

Ser i internasjonal presse at Lucas Braathen har vunnet kampen om narrativet helt, og at fortellinga om at han ikke kunne være seg sjøl - en eksentrisk fargeklatt - har satt seg for godt. Men minner altså om at den eneste konkrete uenigheten var at han ville beholde alle sponsorpengene sjøl.

In a stunning shift today, NATO stripped the US of all of its operational-level Joint Force Commands.
For the first time since NATO’s founding, all of these commands will be led by Europeans.
NATO no longer feels the United States can be trusted.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I Jaglands (og Europarådets tilfelle) er argumentet for immuniteten å sikre uavhengigheten til institusjonen – altså at en stat kan ikke straffeforfølge en tidligere leder for ting ER har gjort mot staten. Immuniteten skal ikke gi personlige fordeler, derfor kan den fjernes.

how bad do you have to fuck up to allow an exploit in fucking NOTEPAD

The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

If there was ever going to be any proof that WikiLeaks is essentially dead, it's the Epstein files. Integrating this sort of data and making it searchable is right up the organization's old alley.
