"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

this absolutely charms my automation loving heart and makes me want to play him more
For anyone giving The Radical a hard time, you should know his story.

He started as a debug tool to test the game without playing. Later, we felt he earned his place on the roster.

He may not be the smartest, but he helped build BALL x PIT - and we love him for it.

inordinately pleased with the horrible puns in this episode
Alexander returns (for better or worse), Odo got lost in the gussy, and our week was much better than this pair of episodes

Celebrimbor and the Rings of Power

The masterwork he coveted, the maker he desired—held at last where neither can slip from him again. The stone Celebrimbor never warms beneath his hand; his skin has grown too cold.

Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

Is there a way to tell a 9 year old that they don’t need to share literally every thought that crosses their mind every waking second of the day that doesn’t make it sound like I’m trying to say shut up with nicer words?

HEY! YOU! are you an athrabeth listener who does fanfiction? GET IN HERE! The excellent and oft mentioned Dawn Walls-Thumma and Maria K. Alberto are doing a THIRD EDITION of their Tolkien Fanfiction Survey.
