The best sitcom character you never met. My nemesis thinks saxophones are synth bagpipes. Any pronouns.

Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

the first law of working from home is that if you ever try to sneak away from your desk to do some housework while still on the clock, you will get sent the most urgent and demanding email of the week five minutes before you stand up.

Tonight in 1985 in Auckland, New Zealand (July 10, local time), French secret agents—in an elaborate intelligence operation codenamed Satanique—used two limpet mines to sink the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior as it prepared to return to Mururoa Atoll to protest French nuclear testing there.

Google news is desperate for me to read this and I can't imagine it's deeper than "experts agree they save lives with minimal impact" / "car go brrrm"

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail ✅A great distillation of ten years into a single mission statement. ✅The graphic overhaul really sings in the new areas. The final dungeon looks truly incredible at times. 🚫First act is a bit overly functional and simplistic to its detriment 🚫Too light on Voice Acting.

Sometimes I get emails from people and go "you were hired. You were the best candidate. You have coworkers who rely on you and believe you know what you're doing."

Me for all of Act One of Dawntrail: this is fine, a bit rote tho. Me from the minute the level 97 train ride starts, and for the next hour: the game can never get better than this

Yeah your initial tweet very much read like you'd bought "snake handling for dummies" and "snakestreme: radical advanced tips and tricks for snake owners". I was with the husband at first.

Extremely funny that Yoshi-P seems to have made his teams read Omelas in the last few years tho, based on this and XVI.

The Mamook twist maybe felt a little too weightless for how fucked up it was, but also I don't think I want the weighty version? Idk.

Nothing in Dawntrail has been worse than the Ruby Sea or the absolute brake that is the Nu Mou, instead it's been five levels of a dumbass throne chaser hastily filling in the gaps of her knowledge. Maybe it's happening a bit too easily, but idk, the vibe is there, and the vibe is always the thing.

I basically finished Act 1 of Dawntrail last night (up to the 95 dungeon) and while I'm not bouncing off the walls over some of the writing (it feels a bit overly functional at times), it is absolutely enjoyable and I am not surprised a story about how diversity is frothing up the usual folks.

I am really interested in a movie re-cut when it's over, it straight up feels like it started as a series, was recut into a couple of movies sometime around the VFX passes, then hastily cut back into a show later.

incredible picture on the herald's photo attached to the announcement of standardised testing at primary schools. every child looks about as thrilled as you can expect at being made prove they're not dumb earlier.

I think you'll be surprised by how not actually that kind of Sexy Vampire Show it is. Bogosian is the tip-off, frankly. Could easily have been a Sprouse twin if it was that kind of show.
