okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

They say that sudden, intense cravings for very specific foods are usually a sign of a vitamin deficiency. If so, that I'm presently making myself french toast, scrambled eggs, and a bacon and cheese sandwich at 11:45 PM must mean the vitamin I'm missing is grease.
I cross-posted this to Bluesky and got followed by a bunch of folks with blog headers clarifying which exact flavour of Christianity they adhere to because they thought I was making a hashtag-relatable post about cheating on your diet. Now we get find out how many of them are also comfortable with posts about werewolf cock.
“Robin, can you get—” The captain’s voice stopped me as I passed the cockpit. Before I could do more than peek my head around the corner, she was already adding, “Never mind, it will be faster if I get it. Would you mind keeping our client company for a moment while I do?”
“Sure,” I said as Captain Sunlight hopped down from her chair with a gesture toward the big screen where an unfamiliar face waited. Long snout, baboon/crocodile features; a Farsight. I hadn’t seen one of those in a while.
“Thank you. I’ll be back in a moment. Wio is otherwise occupied.” The captain waved a scaly yellow hand at the tentacles and cleaning supplies visible under the dashboard. Apparently somebody had been eating snacks in the cockpit again.
“Gotcha,” I said as Wio grumbled and Captain Sunlight left. I turned my attention to the big screen. “Hello! I’m Robin; nice to meet you.”
“Hello Robin, I am Triangle,” he said, as if that was a perfectly normal name. Which it probably was on his planet. “Tell me, is your name based on a form of glamorous banditry?”
“Huh? Oh! No, but I can see why you might think so.” I didn’t know if he’d heard a thirdhand reference to Robin Hood, or to the English word “robbing” (there wasn’t much similarity in everybody’s favorite trade language), but either way it was a reasonable assumption. I told him, “It’s a type of animal from my planet. A small avian.”
To my surprise, he laughed. “What are the odds? My name is a bird too.”
“Really? A triangle?” All the mental images I was coming up with belonged in a children’s educational show.
The Farsight nodded. “The Triangle-Tailed Glider. They like to perch up high with a good view, and their vision is exceptionally sharp.”
“Oh, nice! Robins are pretty little songbirds that migrate, and people like to say that seeing one is the first sign of springtime.”
Triangle made appreciative noises, then annoyed ones when something offscreen knocked his camera sideways. Apparently he was in a private office, not the cockpit of another ship.
“My apologies,” he said as he fixed the camera. “Not much desk space today.” With the new angle, I caught a glimpse of brightly colored little things in piles. They looked familiar.
“Are those dice?”
“Yes! You’re familiar? We make a variety of them, and I suspect the wrong type was packed in the shipment.”
“Ah.” That explained what Captain Sunlight had gone to check. I hoped we weren’t about to make a U-turn. “Well, they all look very nice.”
“Thank you! We’re very proud of them. I particularly like the newest line.” He picked up a bright rainbow-colored nugget and dropped it on the desk to demonstrate. To my surprise, it bounced in an unpredictable direction.
“Is that made of rubber?” I asked.
“Of course! Only the most unpredictable of dice for proper games of chaos.”
I leaned against the back of the empty chair. “That does sound appropriate. I’ve only used the more predictable kind.”
“These are endless fun; I recommend them. And not just because I sell them, of course.”
“Of course!” I smiled. “I’ve got some friends back home who’d probably be all over that.”
Triangle rolled another one, which was abruptly swatted out of sight by a blur of green fur that scattered everything. Triangle shooed the creature away with the frustrated air of cat owners everywhere.
I tried not to laugh. “I have one of those too! Is that your pet?”
Triangle sighed deeply. “Yes. He’s the brightest spark in my life, which occasionally burns things.” He ducked out of view and returned with what looked like a wiggly green ferret with an eagle’s beak. “Say hello, Trouble.”
“Aw, hi Trouble.” I waggled fingers at the screen while Trouble made himself at home on Triangle’s shoulders, curling up and snuggling close as if he hadn’t just made an utter mess. “Do you think he’d like to say hi to my pet through the screen?”
Triangle began sorting the dice back into piles, wearing his own pet like a scarf. “Why not? Worst case, he tackles the screen if your pet looks like prey. And I upgraded to the unbreakable model after last time. So sure!”
Captain Sunlight strode back in with a box; perfect timing. “Found it. Did you two have a nice talk?”
Wio crawled out from under the dashboard and answered for me. “Of course they did. To no one’s surprise, the human and the Farsight have everything in common. I’ll bet their pets would eat both their namesakes, given a chance.”
I was silent for a moment while I thought about it. Triangle did the same. We both said, “Yes, probably,” at the same time.
Captain Sunlight sounded amused when she said, “To no one’s surprise indeed. Well if I can interrupt the chat, I found the box you were worried about. I think it’s the correct one after all. Shall I open it to confirm?”
Triangle was visibly relieved, and eager to make sure. While the two of them were occupied with that, I stepped out and hurried to my quarters where a certain small furry predator was taking a nap among the ceiling pipes.
I’d set up a proper cat bed up there, after making sure it wasn’t radioactive or likely to make the pipes overheat. And I’d installed two more shelves to give her a safer route up. She’d only fallen on me the one time.
“Hello, small predator who would absolutely eat a robin if she could,” I said as I scooped up the sleepy cat. “Come say hi to your alien cousin.”
Telly protested a little, but didn’t really object as I carried her back down the hallway. I told her she was brave and resilient for making do with cat toys and my ankles instead of proper prey. Maybe I’d get some rubber dice, as much for her benefit as for any actual games with the rest of the crew.

Good news! Volume One of the collected series is now available in paperback and ebook form! (Check your local store, or this handy link hub.)

These are the ongoing backstory adventures of the main character from this book.
Shared early on Patreon! There’s even a free tier to get them on the same day as the rest of the world.
The sequel novel is in progress (and will include characters from these stories. I hadn’t thought all of them up when I wrote the first book, but they’re too much fun to leave out of the second).
the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire
for the past handful of years ive seen people say stuff like "well the british empire accepted their decline with grace and pulled out when they saw the ship sinking so why can't the us do that" and it's important that you understand that the british empire didn't actually do that and neither will their son lol
The Empire dies, and it's rotting corpse got up, announced it was as great as it ever was (It was never great, not even for most of the British), and then implemented Brexit to prove it was still a great empire, as it collapsed into a ditch full of shit.

A Japanese team are doing early human trials on a treatment that lets you grow new teeth.
Alzheimers is nearly not quite sorta understood and there's some new treatments (Including one bunch who just faked their results. They got caught).
There's promising new treatment for re-growing certain types of nerves - Went blind form Glaucoma? That now may be fixable. Maybe it'll work for Macular degeneration or nerves that died from other things.
There's a treatment that may re-set human organs back to a younger state - Need a new kidney? Nah - Just factory reset the one you have. Cure Type 2 Diabetes with a shot? Yus pluhlese.
Meaning we're This 🤏 far from semi immortal Trillionaires looking to upgrade to Quadrillions.
So uh yeah we need to start eating these guys now.
You must have been so disappointed today to wake up on your birthday, when everything is going wrong for you.
To be fair we were all disappointed you woke up too.
Your name's being stripped off the Kennedy Centre - Famously a president who actually got shot. You must be wondering how you can secure your legacy?
Well good news!
When you finally die, there will be a near global celebration, and on each year, on the anniversary, we'll fondly remember that you died, grunting your last on a toilet until that one vein did us a favour.
Maybe we'll tie some garbage up in a sack, paint your face on and bur you in effigy. Won't that be fun?
And no matter how hard you try to change history, alter the facts and promote yourself, there's 7.7 billion human beings around the world who have it out for you, and won't ever let that happen.
PS,
Once you're in the ditch, we're going after your kids and anyone else who was complicit.
It's fine to disagree with the IAU about the definition of "planet"; however, if your definition includes Pluto but not Ceres, Orcus, Haumea, Quaoar, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris or Sedna, you don't actually care what a planet is – you just want the exact list of nine planets you learned in primary school back. Your cute little Pluto-including orbital distance mnemonic ought to be at least seventeen words long, and good fucking luck with the Q!
This is why we haven’t been eaten by Cthulhu: Every time the cultists do the The Thing, it fails because there’s a big debate on what the “stars” that need to align actually are… and there’s a bunch of planets to conjunct that we only just found out about, plus a couple that we haven’t.
Vincent van Gogh’s paintings are a direct representation of how he felt about what he was looking at.
The poor guy was tortured by Demons that we can only hope we never encounter. His battle with them is where his paintings come from: trying to paint the good and light in the world, because inside of his head was a dark place.
If you look at one of these paintings and all you can think of is, “I bet Chat GTP could do it better”, then the individual has no fucking soul and one day in the middle of the night, I will be under their bed and I will steal their fucking skin.

so Apple added a new item to the iPhone camera, which supposedly gives you nutritional information.
Might take on that is that it can't possibly know for sure what's in there, so there's no way it can give you an accurate calorie count.
Which is true, so Apple just didn't do that: instead when you show the food it judges it by its nutritional value…
So for example, you show it some of your meal and it says "Oh my God, there is so much fried potato in this where's the vegetables?" which I feel is a better approach.
Like you are for sure going to eat the food you have in front of you, but maybe you'll start trying to win at food, a thing that is actually possible, and normal to want.
