Wednesday. It's Wednesday, Case.

Panel from the Neuromancer graphic novel adaptation drawn by Bruce Jensen, showing the mirror-covered eyes of the character Molly in close-up against a purple background. A speech bubble to the left reads: 'Wednesday. it's Wednesday, Case.'

What happened to anyone who seriously threatened to reverse any part of the Thatcherite revolution? Who was it that enforced those penalties. There’s your answer, and there’s who is to blame.

Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge? |

Samantha Ferreira Is Creating An Anime Mag @sam-animeherald.bsky.social · 22h

I still find it wild how anime fans, by and large, generally disowned Nobuhiro Watsuki and his work the moment he was outed as a pedophile. Meanwhile, Harry Potter fans keep finding new excuses to support the thing while the creator is actively working to exterminate trans people.

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 23h

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Ivor (3) was watching me charge something up using a USB C cable, and he asked if he could plug it in, and I said sure, and he asked which way up it goes, and I was able to proudly say “IVOR IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH WAY UP IT GOES AND THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF HUMAN PROGRESS”

John Lennon by Richard Avedon, Look magazine, January 1968

Avedon used color manipulation and Day-Glo (yellow, red and fuchsia) colors to create a hallucinatory effect, reflecting the psychedelic culture of the era. Black over white curvy Op Art lines cover his eyeglasses.

When matte paintings go hard.

A matte painting of an impossibly intricate labyrinth from the 1990 film Hellbound: Hellraiser 2. The effects were by Cliff Culley from what I can find.

When I was reporting in Sudan several years ago, a driver warned me not to tell government officials when I was leaving because the airport is where they stop and detain writers.

So, yeah, this is a very bad sign. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The wet food I'm giving her currently is making the cat hyper, I'm almost sure. Going to change it up and see if there's a difference.

Astronomers have detected a dark blob of...something, billions of light years away. It's as massive as a million Suns & it emits no detectable radiation.

It might be a clump of dark matter, revealing new details about the structure of the invisible universe. 🧪🔭

Left, our best surface brightness model of the 1.7-GHz global VLBI observation used here, which has been reconvolved with the main lobe of the interferometer’s point spread function and added to the residuals (34 μJy per beam r.m.s.). For reference, red contours show the surface brightness at 2.1 μm observed by the W. M. Keck Observatory adaptive optics system30. The positions of two low-mass perturbers are each marked with a black X. The 2 × 108 M⊙ object first detected by ref. 24 is labelled , and the 1.13 × 106 M⊙ detection reported here is labelled . The zoomed-in region shown in the right-hand two panels is indicated by the black square, which has a side length of 60 mas. Top right, detail of the bright arc around , with the colour scale modified to emphasize the gap in the arc produced by the gravitational perturbation of . Bottom right, GI corrections to the lensing convergence (expressed in units of lens-plane surface mass density), showing a compact, positive feature whose position and mass are consistent with the independent parametric modelling results for . The dashed black circle has a radius of 80 pc and the lensed emission is indicated by the black contours.
