Amazing.
School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content".

In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival.

After Censorship, Santa Rosa Students Write Their Own Play — and Take the Gold | KQED
A state festival awarded top honors to ‘REDACTED,’ which ruthlessly lampooned district officials.

For god's sake is there no way to collapse a thread on this app? It's putting me right off.

Damn that's pretty.
This is pretty much how I'd rebuild a Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 (if I could).

Fencing Saturday post! Ten years old and still the greatest epee hype video ever. Er, somewhat NSFW lyrics, sorry about that.

Saturday fencing post! One of my favorite bouts ever, from the 2020 Olympics, Borel from France vs Elsayed from Egypt. Borel is huge, terrifying, rated top five in the world at the time. Elsayed, eh, some skinny kid with a french grip... Enjoy!

If you’re ever looking for some science communication that’s up a level from most media outlets but not quite as complex as actual research papers allow me to humbly reccomend @astrobites.bsky.social It’s a collaboration of grad students (including me) who publish summaries of papers daily.

I don't play fantasy football, but if you do here's some free advice:

Start Tua for the rest of the season. Now that Miami has had its traditional December collapse he'll be lights out.

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

I still miss Daily Science Fiction.

Yes they bought my stories, but that's not the only reason, I swear. It was nice to get a flash piece in the mail every morning.

Why didn't they sell it? Why didn't someone take it over? Argh.

So I wanted to make @tastinghistory.bsky.social's cranberry apple pie, but I didn't have a pie pan, so I used a skillet. Then we forgot to take a picture of it before we ate it. But anyway, it was good! My first dessert pie ever.
