That green base wasn't the only color that ended up looking washed out in the final design

🎨Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki made Miary Zo's Costume 03!

“The combination of a green base with red accents was inspired by the Madagascar flag, and from an early stage onwards, a white inner layer was incorporated to highlight Miariz's dark skin.”

I think Zohran is great and inspiring and much needed right now, but all he's doing is like the job as it's supposed to be. Starts with a set of principles and advocates for them. It's like how everyone goes crazy for Chotiner for just doing the job. Not an indictment on either of them but the rest.

And also this was just mind-blowing (about the difference between science fiction which ultimately treats the universe like a machine we can learn to master and how magic works in fiction)

scientific worldview, so I would argue that it's a science fiction story even if it is not consistent with the body of facts we currently have.

By contrast, magic implies a different understanding of how the universe works.
Magic is hard to define. A lot of people would say magic definitionally cannot have rules, and that's one popular way of looking at it. But I have a different take—I would say that magic is evidence that the universe knows you're a person. It's not that magic cannot have rules; it's that the rules are more like the patterns of human psychology or of interactions between people. Magic means that the universe is behaving not as a giant machine but as something that is aware of you as a person who is different from other people, and that people are different from things. At some level, the universe responds to your intentions in a way that the laws of physics as we understand them don't.

I used to get mad when people misused "decimated" to refer to things that weren't 1/10th destroyed, but I've given it some thought and now I've done a complete 360 on it

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

when they reboot a reality tv show it should have the same people with the same names in different bodies with slightly different backstories but the same personalities
