It’s a messy soup of cultural baggage that I want us to keep in mind when we see moments like this scene in Percy Jackson. Because while this is deeply emotionally affecting moment for many of us, it’s also a very poignant depiction of a traumatized child afraid he might be a monster.

This is marketing. The mechanical parts beside the supposedly human-like features is meant to prime us to compare it to robots, not people. The dead-eyes gaze and clunky movements are no more realistic than that $20 Amazon wig on its head. This is fetish content. Not technological advancement.

What I find frustrating about fandom on social media, isn’t children or newcomers. It’s the people who have been in fandom for years who complain about how much it’s changed and how social media ruined it, while exhibiting the exact behavior they complain about.

Through the story of Shane and Ilya, as well as Scott and Kip, audiences have been able to go through a very accessible and thus relatable journey to arrive at two very different versions of victory over adversity. One is loud, in a spotlight to applause. The other is a quiet family meal.

We lost some brilliant, experienced councillors and candidates, but that’s democracy. The bin strikes have dragged on for far too long. Reform must step up and help sort this mess out, not hide behind slogans in opposition. Birmingham deserves leadership, not excuses.

None of this should be happening right now. We need to force our elected officials to open the fucking boxes. This isn't about changing what's already happening, this is about securing the future. This is about letting them know that we know what happened. The collaborating evidence is in the boxes

Big Biology guest Ludovic Orlando talks about the first time horses were domesticated. The Botai people were hunter gatherers who started to keep captive horses. He says this choice was likely due to environmental conditions that made the horse population smaller in the area where the Botai hunted.

78 years ago today, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948). This is dedicated to the memory of those who were displaced, to those who were lost, and to the resistance that never stopped. We honor their struggle. We carry their story.

Republicans like to say we don’t need to fully fund programs that help pregnant moms stay fed because enrollment dropped last year. NEWSFLASH!!! Enrollment dropped because they shut down the government & starved the program for TWO MONTHS! They should really do their homework.

In unrelated news, Albanians have BURNED DOWN 🔥 the house of their PM for allowing Zionists to colonise their lands too

The lessons are clear. People are looking to get rid of FF-FG, and the left needs to give them a clear alternative. We need commitments NOT to go into government with FF-FG, combined with clear left principles on housing, cost of living, climate, etc. to offer a clear choice at the next election.

It’s time to stop denying that this is still happening. There’s no ceasefire. There’s no peace in Gaza. Netanyahu enjoys this power. Wake up America it won’t be so acceptable when it happens here or when we do this to the so called drug countries. Just because we can.
