I hope the fallout from the stranger things conspiracy theory is a tv show decides to actually have a secret episode drop a week after the finale. My money is on Severance doing it.

Seems like News Tower from Sparrow Night and @twinsails.bsky.social is back on the Steam Trending list - deservedly. Its dev Jan-Maarten Nachtegeller was kind enough to speak to me about the 1930s newspaper-running sim last year. Highly, highly recommended

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I read a lot of cosy crime but I can’t rebut anything said here
I've never had a fantastic time with the 'cosy crime' genre, which reached its absolute nadir with the Thursday Murder Club movie, and this newsletter goes a long way to explaining why the genre is mostly tripe

Unsubscribing to podcasts when they start using AI unnecessarily has left me with almost nothing to listen to. Bleak how common it has become.

Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

I thought it was a shame they didn’t use the final dinner to talk about the charities they were playing for, would have fit right in with the emotional dinners from the regular seasons
FYI: The BBC has revealed the charities #TheCelebrityTraitors were all competing for, with links so that you can donate.
