The Karen Allen / Carrie Fisher / Margot Kidder triumverate really set me on a course.

@lecinenerd.bsky.social please thank Chris for mentioning Guild Wars 2: Hearts of Thorns on the show a couple back. Been playing that GW2 for over a decade. Nice it got a mention.

They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag “Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management. Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

Jane Goodall, who made startling discoveries about chimpanzee behavior and worked tirelessly to protect their habitats, has died. She was 91.

BREAKING: Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for chimpanzee research and environmental advocacy, has died.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

RIP to Jane Goodall :(

Jane Goodall, one of my greatest heroes, has passed away. How lucky we were to read her books and learn from her wisdom about our place on Earth. She was an inspiration to me and countless others. And her memory is a blessing.

Among many, many other things, one of the most aptly named people ever. I was honored to speak to her in 2011. www.npr.org/2011/09/24/1...

Breaking News: Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most revered conservationists, died at 91. Her discoveries in the 1960s about how chimpanzees behaved in the wild broke new ground and represented what was called “one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements.” nyti.ms/42kpGxt

Oh this makes me so sad. I met Jane once, she was incredible-my photo was right next to hers at National Geographic (2 blondes with their hair pulled back). What a legend. What an example for all of humanity. Thank you for showing us how to be better Earth citizens. Rest in peace and rise in power.

Dr. Jane Goodall, the world-renowned chimpanzee researcher, anthropologist, and conservationist, has died at 91.

Oof. This is a tough one.

May she journey forever amongst the imperishable stars.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

#JaneGoodall was not just a brilliant scientist. She was a brilliant communicator. A brilliant advocate. And a brilliant writer. I *dare* you to read the chapter about Gilka in "Through a Window" without crying.

you're welcome

Science is dominated by male native-English-speakers with elevated affluence. It's a demographic that makes up less than 3% of the total global population. If someone wants to keep politics out of science, they are comfortable enforcing the status quo that benefits them (a small privileged group).

if you want to understand tailoring, you only need to watch mid-century movies, when actors were dressed by tailors, not brands. in the 1944 film cover girl, gene kelly's suit drapes beautifully, moving with him, not against him. collar stays on his neck, even as he dances.

Kat's got a new job that's better than 10 Superbowls, so she'll be moving to the UK! She won't be on the weekly show regularly, but she will remain Blood God-adjacent in the Discord and on specials! Eric, Vic and I will be rotating host duties, so the Blood God is staying put (in your mom's bed). 🎉

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

@lecinenerd.bsky.social recent events demanded a rewatch of Sneakers. What a damn well put together film. Great characters that you understand quickly with setups peppered throughout that payoff wonderfully at the end. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneaker...

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident” Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

We should celebrate Undertale's 10th anniversary. But let's also celebrate the 30th anniversary of Hackers and its awesome montage of a group of the coolest looking kids you've ever seen hacking databases to screw with the US Secret Service agent investigating them. All set to The Prodigy!

This is the first free moment I've had on a weekend in four months where I don't have a) chores, b) freelance, and c) social plans and I don't know what to do with myself
