New from @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social:

When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked even me.

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Saganism @sagan.bsky.social · May 8

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

the story so far...

A timeline showing a brief overview of Alex's life. The first chunk is labelled "Weird loser child who's not very bright", the second chunk is very small and labelled "AWARD WINNING GENIUS PRODIGY T.V. BUSINESS BOY" the last chunk which is much longer is marked "Weird adult who's good at exactly one thing".

The trick is on Sunstorm; he's Shockwave's pet.

Scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Indy is punching a Nazi on top of a tank. The caption is, "I came here to study the Humanities and Punch Nazis...

And they just cut funding for the Humanities."

That is all.

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures

"Ordinary laziness was merely the absence of effort. Victor had passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out on the far side. He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labour."

“The librarians were mysterious. It was said they could tell what book you needed just by looking at you, and they could take your voice away with a word.”

“Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realize that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake.”

The humans in the dogman world have very little logical awareness. Do you think they would fear Dogman if he wasn't actively saving them all day, every day?

....Who am I kidding. Of COURSE THEY WOULD.

Based off the 'Don't Read This Dog Man Fanfic' by mellodazey on AO3
@mellodazey.bsky.social

Description in alt text! #dogman #dogmanau #fanart #ao3fanart

Officer Knight (left) drawn in blue with a half-open button shirt, slacks, and fingerless gloves while smiling with closed eyes and relaxed posture. Knight's right hand is waving and his left hand is in his front pants pocket. An arrow points to his throat from the word "execute", where an orange "X" is depicted.
Pre-movie Greg the dog (right) drawn in blue with just his head and upper body in frame, looking up at his future (Dogman). A line from the word "man" loops over Knight and Dogman's heads, linking to the orange scored markings across his throat similar to a leash on a collar.
Dogman (middle) is drawn in blue with loose clothing mirroring Knight’s with a scarf to replace the gloves. A thick orange line is depicted over his throat where his stitches are, eyes closed and face pointed down with a somber expression, with a healing injury on his muzzle. His posture is turned inward, right hand holding left wrist. Dogman's sleeves are stained with blood, yet hands remain clean, and he appears underweight in comparison to Knight.

I CAN'T OUTRUN MY OBSESSION WITH THE HIM.
#dogman
#dogmanmovie
#traditionalart

Dogman (movie version) running from something undepicted and out of frame while holding a walkie-talkie. His eyes are wide with raised eyebrows as his head is turned to look behind him, mouth agape as his cap is flying off his head with each step. He is wearing a button-up shirt with the badge shape on it and standard slacks and shoes.

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.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I love the reversal here.. Petey gets taken in by Dogman in the movie, so Dogman gets taken in by Petey in this!

I have this headcanon that a mech's designation is something theyre born with, like it's in their spark coding. so what if, sunstorm being a clone of starscream, had some coding that got copied over like that
