Earhartsplane - Hello

My cartoon for this week's New Scientist

I started watching this video, looked at the chapters in the description, saw that one was called OH GOD HE'S BACK, and for a moment was gripped by the certainty that it was going to be Somerton somehow. ( To be clear, it's not).

New Philosophy Tube premieres tonight at 1800 British time!

I'll be in the live chat from 1730!!!

Our Flag Means Death Reductress headlines (1/?)

I started listening to the critshow. Spoilers for everything until season 4.

I just think the PCs are giving him an easy ride considering that he killed everyone in his timeline, and I would love some light bullying.

I plan to do just that, and cancel it at the end of the free trial. If there's a "Why are you leaving?" question, I also plan to say that it's because I support the WGA strike (I really don't know if it would matter, but it can't hurt).

Not a question, but I wanted to say out loud that I managed to see the first episode of Sandman on a flight recently. I haven't had cable TV since 1998 and never had a Netflix account, not since *looks at wrist* they started mailing CDs in little red envelopes howevermany years or decades ago. But I'm seriously thinking about finally caving now, simply because of how good that first ep was. Having been braced against giving Amazon any unnecessary money for years, the privilege of actually seeing an episode of Good Omens might take a bit longer, unfortunately, despite being here on this site and witnessing a ton of Posts about it. It is a tease, let me tell you.

just saying.

Why not do a free trial when Good Omens is released?

I cannot express how disappointed I am in the fact that the link to [Elliot, 2025] doesn't work. And that the paper was an April's Fool. Elliot please share the joke with me I want to know what's the Elamo-Minoan hypothesis.

University really is about looking at the worst pdf known to man huh

With Jane Austen being a possible inspiration for Good Omens season 2, there has been some speculations about what parallels could be drawn between main couple in Jane Austen’s books and our heroes. Pride and Prejudice has been floated around, which is not surprising since it’s the most famous of her works. Others speculate that Emma might be a good fit for Aziraphale, since he is apparently a landlord and meddles in the love life of humans. Persuasion is also a likely candidate, full of pining as it is. All of them possibilities, all of them good choices. However, I would like to put Northanger Abbey forward, for two reasons: 1. It’s funny as hell. 2. It contains the following quote:

“[T]hough Henry was now sincerely attached to her, though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character and truly loved her society, I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude, or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought. It is a new circumstance in romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity; but if it be as new in common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own.”

And I’m sorry to say, but I do think it applies here.

I can't believe they went back to the cracked mirror universe and didn't check on Rev, last seen in NASH BODY, or on actual Nash, whose soul they yeeted back without any idea of the consequences.

So did anyone else pay attention to the paper hob was grading at the new inn? Because by God, that student is so fucked.

Dude got EVERY question wrong
