so, they didn't want players killing kids in the new lego star wars, so they made them immune to friendly fire damage, but they didn't make them invincible, so now speedrunners are doing extended air combos on them to cross large gaps and climb tall structures. this has been dubbed Child Flight

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices

What's your favorite bit of silly Ork trivia? And who's your favorite minor Ork character?

In terms of silly ork trivia, it's hard to beat Boss Grizgutz, who accidentally traveled back in time because of warp shenanigans, and killed his earlier self so he could have a spare of his favorite gun.

Favorite minor character might be Talker da Madboy from Guy Haley's Prophets of Waaagh! story (among others) who gets occasional bursts of insight from the Krorkian psychosphere.

One of my favorite Talker interactions, from a conversation with Mekboy Snikgob:

Snikgob (pointing out Techpriests): "Dem is humie Mekboys. Dey believe all sorts of weird stuff."

Talker: "Mhm. Cultural collapse and reorientation of belief systems in the aftermath of renaissance can provoke magical thinking in previously rational beings."

Snikgob: "What the zog are you talkin' about?"

Talker (shrugs): "Beats me."

From 2020 to 2024, Democrats saw a staggering dropoff in support at the presidential level, with some 19 million people who voted for Joe Biden staying home (or not mailing in their ballots) in 2024. Now, a new survey conducted by YouGov suggests Biden’s support for Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza played a surprisingly large role in the choice of those previous Biden supporters not to vote. (Read the full poll here.) The top reason those non-voters cited, above the economy at 24 percent and immigration at 11 percent, was Gaza: a full 29 percent cited the ongoing onslaught as the top reason they didn’t cast a vote in 2024.
