Today in The Downfall of America: watching Trump speak to a gathering of military brass and wondering if he’s going to insist on a loyalty pledge OR if the whole place is going to get bombed because what a target. Love this for all of us.

Fun fact to add: In 1935 German Defense Minister Blomberg - the one who introduced the new oath of loyalty to Hitler renamed the German Defense Ministry… wait for it… the “Ministry of War”.

In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the Führer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway.

Tonight I saw someone give a bowl of waters to the Cambridge Turkey Clan, and sat next to a man at the tapas bar who was enjoying the shit out of his meal. It’s nice to see some joy out there.

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

Text mounted on a screen reads as follows:

WHAT IS SCIENCE FICTION?

1. DOESN'T MATTER
2. WHO CARES
3. MARKETING DEPARTMENT'S PROBLEM
4. NOT YOURS

Shakespeare was pansexual. My evidence is entirely based on the number of people falling in love with “a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman” in his plays

The real message of The Hobbit is that when traveling with a group it’s important to have a buddy system.

Unrelated, but I’ve found at least four typos in this opera’s printed program, hire me to be your copy editor

Where did the trope of “if a woman has sex she dies” come from? It’s in horror movies, comic strips, opera, etc, but where did it come from originally?
