At a light jog you can cover four miles an hour. So after a leisurely three-hour run, you tuck into a Lord of the Rings Extended Edition marathon with beer and tacos. If you need to stretch things out, start on The Hobbit trilogy. After 15-20 beers, it will be a lot better than you remember.
Looks like the Ellisons will pick up another news agency.
For decades, biology treated males as the default β shaping what scientists studied and what they overlooked. Evolutionary biologist Malin Ah-King asks: if who does science affects what we see, what blind spots remain?

βI donβt think Iβve ever seen as big of a disconnect between the scale of a crisis and the scale of media coverage in my life. ... The scale of the suffering in Sudan is so high and because the [media] coverage is abominably low.β

βHow were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I donβt think itβs prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism.β

@jacksonweaver.bsky.social was less than enthused. As much as I enjoyed Saltburn, Iβm inclined to agree with his take www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...
Thanks! It took about 15-20 hours total. The bone-lined fortress and corpse piles were 3D printed and painted by me. I buried some LED lights under green resin for the floor effects. The bottomless pit is from the WizKids Yawning Portal set and the minis are from the D&D and Pathfinder lines.
A D&D terrain diorama depicting a dark fortress with gold ornaments and bone-lined stairs. Tentacles emerge from the roof and a bottomless pit sits beneath a lich hovering above wrapped in chains. Piles of corpses surround the pit and green smoke emanates from them. A huge creature made from corpses, a bone snake, two flying wraiths bearing scythes, and a ghoul wielding a bloody cleaver are scattered across the scene. 1/4

Archaeologist Francisco Estrada-Belli estimates the population of the classic-era Maya lowlands to have been 16 million people β higher than on the Italian peninsula during the peak of the Roman Empire.

You may not get much work done once you start, so thatβs probably smart.
Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.
I trust you heard about this @jonore.bsky.social?
Well now, this is exciting news. But who will they get to play Astarion? @neilnewbon.bsky.social would be perfect for the role. π
February is Saskatchewan Indigenous Storytelling Month. In Indigenous culture stories are told in many different ways and our video journalist Rachel May talks with storytellers about how these stories can continue to be preserved for future generations.

This makes me happy.

New job! Iβm thrilled to be starting as a Senior Writer and Editor at CBC News. Todayβs my first day in the Vancouver office.
This is great news! Congratulations! WotC will be better for it.
This looks awesome! Really nice shading and highlights, and that translucent blue effect is a great touch.
This is not surprising. Nearly everyone I met while I was there had a VPN and downloaded pirated material. Most Russians openly mocked attempts at government censorship.
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Essential reporting here from @startribune.com journalists who are posting live updates from the scene of the shooting. Law enforcement are trying to subdue protesters with tear gas (no paywall!)

Unless itβs the mining rights he wanted all along, as advocated by multiple billionaire backers (Bezos, Altman, Thiel, Andreessen). Trump doesnβt seem like someone opposed to destabilizing the international order as a front if it garnered him something on the backend. The details will be key.
