"Neil Gaiman has been in the news a lot recently been the subject of a number recent accusations by women which have been covered extensively by Fandom Pulse and some smaller online outlets. As a result of this, his dedicated subreddit has gone into protection mode along with most mainstream media which necessitated the creation of another subreddit for discussing these revelations. But even this online outpost has carefully curated its content and won’t abide having nasty, evil, racists like Jon Del Arroz and Vox Day anywhere near them. Naturally, these revelations have also led many to take another look at his work and the perverted fantasies that have more basis in reality than previously realised.

"I’ve never read anything by Neil Gaiman and though I didn’t feel deprived before, I am now rather glad that I haven’t. And this is whether or not the accusations are true as some of the material linked above is more than a little disturbing. The closest I’ve come to reading Neil Gaiman is watching the 2007 adaptation of his book Stardust. I vaguely remember enjoying it so I thought I would watch it again in light of the recent revelations. It should come as no surprise that I noticed a lot more wrong than right on a second viewing."

Susan Wojcicki once said in an interview: pass laws so we can ban more.

The censorship was getting a bit much - even for them - and they thought they could be sued unless government passed laws that would allowed/approve of them censoring more YouTube content.

The Fall is a Bitch

When the Black Rider has no further use for you. The YouTube CEO is dead of turbo cancer and I very much doubt that any of the thousands of video creators who were kicked off of YouTube by her and her minions will shed one single tear for the woman. Susan Wojcicki, who served as […]

"It appears that some cover designers are more equal than others in regards to their treatment by Dragon*Con, which makes many wonder what the point is of these awards at all, if it's going to be the same moving of the goalposts without transparency as other awards and organizations have had. If they are going to have rules for a category it needs to be clearly stated before a work gets nominated."

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Americans in Ukrainian uniforms are giving orders as they attack Russian positions in Kursk Russia in the early hours of their now stalled "Ukrainian" incursion. Imagine Russian voices in New Mexico or Texas doing the same. A very dangerous game is being played.

Fun fact.

In 393 CE, Emperor Theodosius I banned the Greek Olympics due to the religious element of the celebration. He considered the Olympics to be a pagan festival, which had no place in his Christian empire.

As a consequence, the games were cancelled and didn’t start up again for over 1,400 years, until 1896.

We’re currently at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, which occurs as Earth passes through a trail of particles left by the Swift-Tuttle comet. Although the particles are mostly tiny dust grains and invisible to the naked eye from space, an animation from meteorshowers.org helps visualize this trail, with particle sizes exaggerated for clarity. This stunning visualization helps us understand where these particles are located as they create one of the most spectacular meteor showers visible from Earth.

"Initially, officials went to the quick fixes to power balance the car. Some had said that they buffed the tires, so a new set was required while weight was drilled out of the car by another official. Still, Jimmy’s derby car seemed oddly unstoppable. There was something “strange about Jimmy’s fiberglass car,” the narrator says. “It seems to leap across the starting line when the metal flap is dropped.”

"Jimmy’s noscript victory over Diane Skrzypek and Bret Yarborough in the finale was met with boos, which reverberated as low as the mood over the podium in Akron that day. Although reading between the lines was a part of the game, the accusations being tossed around began to escalate beyond a little extra polishing of the wheels."
