Anyway I finished off update 28 after replaying the earlier parts to refresh my memory.

Before starting Murdoch's route for the first time, I didn't think I'd really care about it, but this one might be their masterpiece? Nik's route has the coolest mechanics but there's just so much to this one. It feels like it's where all their best narrative ideas are going

A new European heatwave dubbed Nero has raised the temperature above 0C at all of Italy’s glaciers, hastening their disappearance, and set a record for high-altitude heat in the Swiss Alps.

A weather balloon launched from Payerne in Switzerland registered the “zero-degree line” — the altitude at which the temperature falls to zero — at 5,298m, beating a previous record of 5,184m set last year.

I'm starting a movement to call people who PRIDE in their toxic masculinity (Incels, Proud Boys, Andrew Tate) "Junk Males."

(In case someone doesn't get this, maybe it's just the USA, but since before I was born, paper ads that showed up in your snail mail mailbox were called "junk mail." And even now, hotmail/outlook calls the "spam" folder where the annoying emails it knows you will never read the "junk" folder.)

After decades of fighting for our right to love and live freely, the LGBTQ+ community should be long past discrimination. And yet, the scapegoating of our community continues. As a Japanese American who experienced forced relocation and internment as a child, this déjà vu is both alarming and heartbreaking. We must remember the past, demand change, and act to safeguard our future. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/takei-scapegoating-lgbtq-japanese-internment
