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.

the hitch is that you have to start from the position of believing that you can and should be better and working on improving yourself every day
and too many dudes fail that

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

people like Sabrina Carpenter saying essentially "decent people don't want the stench of ICE or this White House anywhere near them" to an audience of millions that includes a lot of young people helps empower them against ICE while reminding ICE agents that everyone hates them, both big wins

While I'm not above using DFHack's full-heal cheat to save my particular favorites, a thing I've come to find is that I enjoy seeing a fort existing with people who just have some fucking battle scars. The ones who've lost hands or noses or the ability to walk. Makes the place feel more real.

Is it worth writing an email to my professor explaining the full context behind the term "cancel culture" so she stops throwing the term around like a right wind chud and setting my teeth on edge every time.
