literally stream JUST chapter one of death note to understand what i think of as a compelling tragedy

[autisticandroids]

like it's about light killing someone essentially by accident, panicking and losing himself because he thinks that means he is damned, killing a bunch more people because he can and he thinks he's damned now anyway, being almost relieved when a divine being comes to punish him, being explicitly informed by said divine being that he is not damned and no one is going to punish him, being unable to tolerate this, and therefore declaring himself god because if he is not damned then there is not enough damning going on

[autisticandroids]

i don't really love this translation also. the correct translation for the line that's rendered here as "i shall reign over a new world" is "i will become the god of a new world." for those of you who are not familiar with the text

[autisticandroids]

like the thing is that light believes that the thing he is doing (killing criminals; during the first chapter killing only the interpol most wanted list) is good and should be done, but he also believes that it is evil to do. but he also needs the world to reflect that evil. he needs moral structure. he needs god to come down from on high and tell him, yes, what you are doing is evil and you are evil. and then god comes down from on high and says "nah, you're fine," and it completely breaks him. he needs the universe to have moral structure, and if it doesn't, he will create it

All right, guys, the rest of tonight is (possibly) going to be spent tracking the progress on the Ever Given, a 400-meter-long container ship that ran aground in the Suez Canal and is currently struck.

Successful trans men

I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

Ben Barres American neurobiologist for Stanford University and advocate for women in science. Barre’s research on the interactions between glial cells and neurons changed the way that we understand the brain and opened up a whole new field of research.

Stephen Whittle Professor of equalities law. Founder of FTM Network in 1989 and Press for Change in 1992. Whittle has been heavily involved in trans activism since joining the Self Help Association for Transsexuals in 1979. His research and activism has been instrumental in ensuring the rights of trans people in the UK.

Michael D Cohen Actor, teacher and coach.

I somehow just realized I have never in my entire life seen a panda this clearly? Any image or video I can recall was usually lit starker so you couldn’t easily make out the eyes and the panda was kind of facing down or off to the side. This is the first time I’ve really been aware of them like, having a real face like a real animal and not a cartoonish abstract mass of sad fur.

You always see list of deadliest toxins, but almost never lists of least fun toxins. I mean, a bite from a taipan snake will kill you dead, but in a brisk and orderly fashion that will unfold from “Ow, bugger, what was that” to “x_x” in about an hour.

The reaction to the gympie gympie stinging tree, however, can last for months, during which time there is precious little they can do for you except pump you full of steroids and strap you down to a table with a brace in your mouth so you don’t do yourself serious injury. In the 1960s, British military scientists studied the tree for its potential as a biological weapon.

The research was apparently abandoned, for reasons which have never been released to the public; but if I had to take a guess, I’d look to the example of civilian research scientist Marina Hurley, who spent three years studying the gympie gympie, and was forced to abandon her research when, despite using every manner of precaution, her exposure to the plant’s neurotoxin nevertheless led to hospitalization. The hairs on the plant which carry the toxin, you see, are regularly shed, and become airborne, at which point they can be inhaled and cause severe nosebleeds, asphyxiation, and anaphylactic shock.

One survivor of a brush with a gympie gympie described the stinging persisting for over two years, made worse whenever he took a cold shower.

Writers, here’s an idea.  A grim one, but we can always use those, too.
