If you are familiar with the word “geas” from D&D, it might interest you to know that it's a Gaelic word for “taboo.”
In Irish mythology, a geas (pronounced "gaysh") would both grant someone who kept it vigor/magical power, but breaking the geas would spell doom.

It's only a Gundam if it's from the Gundanium region of France. Otherwise it's just a shining Moblie Suit.

"You die?
"Well, yes, someday."
"I die?"
"I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, & you think about things, & that means you have a soul. And souls don't die."
All shot practically using real figures, lighting & miniature sets

Autistic humans are expected to be endlessly available.
To care without limits.
To regulate others without support.
To give without needing anything back.
But we are not emotional infrastructure for everyone else.
We are bodyminds with limits.

You may be asked to slow down today, Aquarius. Whether this comes in the form of a speeding ticket or a scrape on the knee when you trip, you must listen to this message. The key for you now isn't to get too emotional as a result of this slowdown. Know that it's for your own good 1/2

Sam and the team has made a short film based on one of my comics. I've seen it and it's incredible! Fantastic work!
KNIGHTS & RELATIONSHIPS is complete and we're starting our festival submissions. I am so proud of this short film and in awe of my cast and crew's skill. Can't wait to watch it on the big screen with you.

this is legitimately evil
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

this guy is a world class asshole
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
