the implication that ryan reaves circles the new york road trip in red marker every season so he can get back to his beloved book of mormon on broadway

[erikkarlsson]

this is the best news i’ve ever received

[neonfretra]

[Image transcript:

Image 1: Sheng Peng tweets:

A lot of #SJSharks went to Book of Mormon yesterday. "It was great," Celebrini said. He and Dellandrea noted that Reaves is the big Broadway guy on the team, Reaves has seen it 7 times

Image 2: Discord message:

seven times... i of course would really love it if ryan reaves was incredibly well versed in musicals and was like a secret renowned critic in the theater world, but it would also be really funny if this was the only musical he likes and he's just a disciple of it and thinks nothing else in the world could ever approximate the magic of the book of mormon

Image 3: Excerpt of "Sorry, Broadway Fans: Reaves Only Likes 'Book of Mormon'" by Sheng Peng:

"Book of Mormon, Book of Mormon, and Book of Mormon," Reaves said, when asked his top-three Broadway shows. The San Jose Sharks enforcer wasn’t sure if he had even gone to another Broadway show in his life.

Gotta compliment him on his reflexes. No hesitation. Just described exactly what he was seeing, regardless of what it was.

[VD: A weatherman is giving a report and pointing to a map, saying "feel like temperatures really take a tumble too, because after the storm-" before he is interrupted by the screen going black and then displaying a picture of some baby spinach. He says, "um," then immediately points to the screen and confidently announces, "this is baby spinach." /End VD]

The difference between "There used to be hot summers too,” and a climate crisis.

Look, we all know this is true. But there isn't a SOURCE for this, and the graph itself is basically illegible beyond "ooh colors". If we want to be good stewards of our informational resources, we need to cite our sources.

From a reverse image search, I found the website Show Your Stripes, run by the University of Reading in the UK, which is likely where the above graph originated. It provides temperature data for various regions of the world from approximately 1900-2025. For example, here are graphs for Canada, India, and Papua New Guinea:

All clearly show a sharp rise in temperature beginning around approximately the 1980s, which corresponds with the graph in OP's post. But now we know where this data came from, and we can verify its validity accordingly.

it bothers me when someone brings up misogyny in shounen anime and people shrug it off with "its designed for teenage boys, what can you expect." like well. idk i think its actually pretty important that shows for teenage boys are normal about women. i mean i think all media should be normal about women but teenagers are impressionable i think we could put a little bit of feminism in the teenage boy shows. it might do some good. you never know.

[geezerwench]

In Prince's funky name, amen.

[greywrenn]

Millennial here. All the above and:

Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.

Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.

[debetesse]

Elder Millennial here cosigning HARD

If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.

[cinemaocd]

I work in science communications and I am constantly hearing about how we need to try to do video to appeal to the newest generation of scientists and it's like do you think physicists who can't read are a good idea?

[stargazingdustbunny]

Gen z and please just give me text!

[dduane]

This. All of this. AH PLEASE GOD NO MORE INTERMINABLE TUTORIALS THAT TURN OUT TO BE NOT NEARLY ENOUGH ABOUT THE SUBJECT BUT ALL ABOUT THE TUBER IN LOVE WITH THE SOUND OF THEIR OWN VOICE.

Just write a damn article and stick in a few screenshots or whatever where necessary.

...FFS.

[taraljc]

Also for the love of God, if you make a podcast have a transcript. transcripts are good. people who cannot handle audio can read a transcript.

[hierophagy]

and my take today is that framing misogynistic writing as an "inability to write female characters" subconsciously takes away most of the blame, implying that women are an alien creature compared to men and that it is no fault of the writer because it's out of their skill set. it's not an inability, not a lack of expertise, it's the simple refusal to consider women as individual people and give them the same depth and grace that comes easily to the writer when they write male characters. it's not that christopher nolan, stephen king, james cameron (and frankly anyone using the argument, both professional and hobbyist; yes, that includes fanfic writers) etc can't write women, it's that they just won't. at that point in time it is a conscious decision driven by the laziness to unpack their misogynistic biases, and should be addressed as such
