"It is a very weird thing when what was once the salve for loneliness is now the cause of it." In this week's Mark As Read, @mollytempleton.com discusses isolation in science fiction–how the internet became the loneliest crowded room.

The local laundromat here does the same. I picked up novel whilst waiting on Sunday morning, haven’t put it down since. 📖🤗

'Weapons' director Zach Cregger takes on the iconic video game franchise in its latest attempt at blockbuster glory.

Moram pristaviti piskrček, a ne. #pohvalanadan. Zadnjih 6 delovnih dni sem imel zelo intenzivne fizioterapevtske seanse (60-90min) v okviru javnega sistema. Presenečen sem nad osebnimi prijemi in zavzetostjo/srčnostjo zaposlenih na ravenški fizioterapiji. Niti najmanjše pripombe nimam. Fajn ljudje!

Sicer pa #pohvalanadan. Danes imel zelo neprijeten pregled v kliničnem centru, ampak so mi ga zdravnica, sestra in specializant na oddelku za radiologijo neprimerno olajšali. S prijaznostjo, skrbjo, profesionalnostjo in človečnostjo. Bravo, javno zdravstvo! Ohranimo ga!

Vedno znova je treba ponavljati: boj za javno zdravstvo ni boj proti zdravnikom in medicinskemu osebju, ki dela v njem. Je boj zanje in z njimi. Za boljše pogoje dela in zdravniške nege, za plače, ki odsevajo pomembnost zdravstva za družbo, za dostopnost zdravstva za vse bolnike.

Something that more people need to embrace about the importance of public library organizing is that it's a good foundation to organize for other public goods. We need to explicitly connect library organizing with parks organizing as just one example and so on and so forth...

Ker Nicolasu Cageu niso pustili biti Supermož, je zdaj Pajek Noir! Od 27. maja na Amazonovem Primeu - v barvah in črno-beli varianti. youtu.be/LpN2RavI5C8?...

Gee, what on earth could be causing the shortage?

Slava Ameriki!

Nov torek, nova epizoda. V čast bližajoči se 250. obletnici ameriške neodvisnosti smo 250. epizodo posvetili ... filmu, v katerem Sovjeti z latinskoameriškimi zavezniki okupirajo ZDA. Brata Swayze in Sheen, ki ju je foter vzgojil v prava moška, vodita najstniško partizansko gverilo v Koloradu.

S podkastom zelo radi gremo okrog in veseli smo, da bomo kmalu znova v Mariboru, ki se je nazadnje res izkazal z gostoljubjem. Upam, da nas še niste siti, saj bo tema tokratne epizode v živo res kultna - Čuvaji v stripu, filmu in seriji. Pridite, da se vas bo slišalo!

Ljudje in ljudine, potem ko nas dolgo ni bilo na Štajersko, se zdaj že drugič v mesecu dni vračamo v Maribor. In sicer smo pri vas spet v petek 8. maja, ko bomo na 1. mednarodnem stripovskem festivalu Primaruha! ob 16h v Vetrinjskem dvoru govorili o Čuvajih (Watchmen)! Stripu, filmu in seriji! 1/2

"Vsi bomo Zver, še preden nas vzame smrt." 21. junija se vrača Zmajeva hiša. V tretji sezoni se vojna razplamti in zajame celotno Zahodnje. youtu.be/5X1dMFuHZhc?...

Nominacija za nagrado kritiško sito za Dohtarja! V dobri družbi. Čestitke drugim nominiranim avtoricam. Čestitke matični založbi, Založba Goga, drugim založbam, urednicam in urednikom. Ponosno zastopam slovenski žanr in sem vesel predvsem tega, da bo tako moja knjiga dosegla še kakšnega bralca več.

Pevka Koala Voice prizna, da je romantik, ki obožuje vinilke, razkrije formulo za uspešne turneje v tujini in prizna, da jo vseeno skrbi postapokaliptični svet. Vabljenji k branju/ogledu/poslušanju @siol.net.

IT. IS. HAPPENING. China's State Counsel has announced that provinces will be graded on their efforts to peak emissions before 2030. "Authorities ranked as making unsatisfactory progress ... could be subject to disciplinary processes if issues aren’t rectified." 💥 🧵

Robert Jenrick - in a crowded field perhaps the biggest loser in British politics..

If we're not careful, more mayors will be so corrupt that they [reads story] prioritize making bus service faster on a route they ride.

Kot je lani rekla @petulantchild.bsky.social , če vas danes nemški in italijanski (in madžarski) turisti vprašajo, zakaj je vse zaprto, jim kar povejte, da zaradi njih. SF-SN

Sadly this is one of the truest indications these days. If it were staged, one of his kids would have dropped a bet on it 10 minutes before it happened.

“stranke tretjega bloka” = desnica “neideološke téme” = davčna razbremenitev najpremožnejših ob pohabljenju javnih storitev in sanjarjenje, da trickle down niso le slinice redkih, ki se mastijo na plečih velike večine sicer pa smrt fašizmu lp

Evforija S3: ko seks, droge & toksična razmerja postanejo dolgočasna.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney or Ghibli. (not hard if you're a real one)

Watching the end of Skyfall with my son. ‘This..is Home Alone, Papa.’ ‘It is indeed, son.’

"The indictment’s references to the '17 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville are positively perverse. It all-but explicitly blames SPLC for the men brandishing tiki torches chanting 'Jews will not replace us' & the car that plowed into counterprotesters & killed Heather Heyer. This is nonsense!"

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

Ti “talenti” (sic), ki jim že zdaj ostane izjemno dobro neto plačilo, praviloma ne bodo zapustili dežele s tako kakovostnim bivanjem zgolj zato, da bi drugje iztržili še več. “Talentov” naša dežela prav tako ne bo privabila z davčnimi odpustki za premožne, plačanimi z razgradnjo socialne kohezije.

Ups 😳 In prvič v zgodovini bomo meli neizvoljenega poslanca za premijera. Naslednjič lahko kar enga iz ulice potegnemo, ne pa da se z nekimi volitvami mantramo.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

First they came for the millionaires, and I did not speak out because fuck yeah, elephants Then I did speak out and I was like, "Hey elephants, what about these billionaires," because fuck those billionaires

The Onion is worth $479.1 trillion and exactly three Bitcoin, since we’re just saying stuff

Super horny for Michael B Jordan and Austin Butler in a Miami Vice movie directed by Tony Scott’s heir Joseph Kosinski, but it’s pretty wild how setting it in 1985 is the same gap of time for a sexy crime movie made in 1985 being set in 1945.

[STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN] There are a few disappointments, though. Mr. Spock used to have sleeker sideburns, and his ears aren't as baroque as they once were—they've lost their efflorescent upper curl. Nimoy has lost something else: his juice. (1982)

Whenever @mangiotto.bsky.social writes a review I disagree with, I read it immediately. He comes at it with a perspective that I hadn’t considered, and I’m better for reading it.

One of the big traps for climate communicators is to believe that their opponents didn’t understand the science - or how else could they not care about their kids’ future? This misunderstanding masks something much more terrifying: the opponents’ almost incomprehensible contempt for life and living.

I am absolutely shite at recognising when someone is flirting with me. Like, comically bad at it. My mates would mock me about it. But something happened today that made me so happy. 1/?

sorry

Dobre mednarodne novice o nas. So gdaj še?

And just because we make it look effortless it’s actually … not.

We’re still a long way out and she may not even run but I do think if we’re serious about a next administration that is interested in getting justice for all of this, AOC is the best candidate.
