Tesla opens factory in space, everyone suffocates, Tesla argue “well we don’t need to provide oxygen in other places”…

Chuds.

No T’Anna. No M’Benga. What you got against apostrophes!?

This photo was taken years and years ago, look how young Neil Gaiman is in it.

It isn’t. The point is that accruing back taxes requires payment and may, at the discretion of the IRS, mandate a criminal charge. He wasn’t charge at the time because he paid, but he could have been. So now they want him to have been.

However I think neither party really wants things to go this way, and Republicans are going to see lots of retaliatory investigation and charges brought over missed payments etc. should they pursue this.

A waste of time and money, doesn’t improve anything in the world, just creates more division. Basically the GOP motto.

I wouldn’t trust her to deliver a pizza, let alone a budget.

I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

Sweden doesn’t have a hard man authoritarian in charge to project daddy issues onto.

I don’t think this is a mistake.

When the setting was first released it was styled Plane Scape and though has subsequently been used as Planescape the registration may date as far back as the initial early 90s.

Trademarks are a funny thing though, take Coca-Cola. If they register only COCA-COLA with the hyphen, that doesn’t allow Pepsi to make a sparkling brown sugar drink called Coca Cola. Intention is important in these matters, not just the technicality of what is registered. Registrations also allow for “stylisation”, which means you don’t need to register a new mark to stylise your existing mark.

Means testing a winter fuel payment so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise isn’t exactly “pitting workers against pensioners” is it? But then the Morningstar is half ill-researched waffle, and half conspiracy theory nonsense.

I disagree with the specifics of what you’re saying but not the point. She is a scientist, she’s speaking her opinion sure, but it’s an opinion based on hundreds of thousands of hours in a field. Identify her as a scientist and an expert.

But, that doesn’t mean you’re wholly wrong. It would be beneficial to us all of journalists came up with a better mechanism to sort learned opinion from study outcome. Some publications are good at this, but on the whole, whether you grock the source of the data from the headline is wildly variable.

I do however have one last point. The headline isn’t the article. You aren’t meant to get all the nuances of an article from the headline, otherwise we wouldn’t call it a headline, it would be the article itself. There comes a point where, so long as the headline writer isn’t deliberately disingenuous, it falls to the reader to follow up on their questions by reading the other 98% of the information in front of them.

[Edit: Misgendered the scientist in question, sleepy brain + skim reading == derp]

Having worked in the Netherlands, UK, and Germany my 2 cents is that this rings untrue to my industry.

1. True.
2. When did they stop!?

This opinion is wild bud. Firstly, I disagree with the every hour of every weekday; once you take into account breaks, lunches, the much shorter working day, sports, and the way classes should usually be front-loaded with information then flipped for engagement, you’re maybe spending 10-15 hours a week “learning” and the rest practicing/applying. In my career I’ve generally had to spend much more than that each week learning.

Secondly you aren’t slaves, you have the option to down tools and just remain poorly educated without ramifications that endanger you immediate life/safety. That you don’t is as much to do with knowing it’s a shit idea, as it is societal pressure.

Thirdly, the people of Ancient Greece didn’t pay attention every second, but when their mind wandered they were at least able to move back to the topic at hand, tbh, if you miss enough context scrolling reels, you won’t be able to catch back up, and so many will just give up and stay on their phones.

Lastly, society around you pays for your education, it’s part of the social contract we live in. The resourcing of schools is already woefully low, please define how stretching those resources to accommodate completely preventable delinquency, is at all worthwhile. By draining time you aren’t only robbing the school, you’re taking from the students next to you who don’t want to spend their time acting like entitled children.

She didn’t stop it. She hasn’t heard a single case; but she did express an opinion on gerrymandering being bad, which likely got her elected, and refuses to recuse herself from cases on it. Basically the state republicans want to call it a conflict of interest, and then impeach; even though the bench (conservative majority at the time) wrote rules specifically to stop them needing to recuse in this way, several years back.

What’s worse is under WI they don’t need to actually have a trial to cause havoc. All they need to do is start a proceeding; then wait. She’ll be suspended from adjudicating at that point AND the governor can’t nominate a replacement.

Total, unashamed, politick. Imagine being this afraid of black voters in 2023.

She's maintined the whole time that she'll follow whatever rules are in place, including running as a man when the organisation requires it. Of course transphobes are using that as "proof" that she's a man.

Man alive, just let the poor woman run. If she’s willing to let you misgender her so she can run then she’s literally doing everything you’re asking her to. Fuck off and let her do her thing!

Bet she put the soundtrack on Spotify though. That’s an earworm right there.

Speak for yourself. I can only eat foods served in Pyramids, this Christmas is going to be all Profiterols and Goa’uld Symbiots.

I may want to recall something and not want to tie up my phone line with screeching.

There were loads of overt Star Wars references in this episode which was fun.

• Music queues were distinctly more John Williams-y.
• Scene transitions hidden behind ships travelling past the screen.
• Scariff style forcefield over one planet.
• Tatooine like architecture.
• Tatooine cantina shape and style to the bar.
• A masked bounty hunter with an unintelligible language is actually an undercover ally.
• The weather station is reminiscent of the Endor shield array.
• Attacking a technological foe with sticks and war cries was similar to the Ewok battle in RotJ.

Some folks had a good day when they signed all that off.
