JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.
Anyways, here it is.

Soemthing like 15 years ago my friend Josh asked me, "Do you want to join Mr. Bungle?" and I said, "... what?" and he said, "I'm reforming Mr. Bungle with no original members. No one has ever stolen a band before."
This rules.

Gaudí’s Sagrada Família finally shakes off its ‘incompletable’ tag, as Pope prepares to inaugurate its tallest and final tower
Long considered forever unfinishable due to its extreme complexity and the loss of its architect’s original plans, the Barcelona basilica’s 18th tower has now been completed

I don't want to read too much characterization into the alt forms of various Cybertronian people in Transformers, but honestly Megatron really is exactly like if a gun was a person.

Disabled people & those who cannot afford to get Covid deserve to be able to see art in public and make art in public.
For @thesicktimes.org, I looked at the state of COVID safety in live music and how artists and event producers can still protect themselves and audiences thesicktimes.org/2026/02/17/t...
These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times
While most of the music industry has moved on, COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders.

Pipe cleaners have basically not been used for their stated purpose outside of a small minority for decades
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

I saw some Jurassic Park Easter eggs in a shop earlier today.
Had a chocolate velociraptor inside.
Leaving aside that it's *still February*
1) this is a great idea
2) someone should also do the eggs from Alien (1979)
