The Disappearance of the Public Bench Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

“Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades…in the past decade, across the U.S., hundreds of places to sit in public have quietly disappeared.”

The Disappearance of the Public Bench.

So quick update shipping of any figures to the US is no longer available and definitely won't do it again in the foreseeable future. The only things that will ever ship to the US are small soft things like tapestries for example.

Long story short the courier service managed to smash an entire batch

Q: Can you say definitively that you have not been intoxicated or absent during your tenure as FBI director?

KASH PATEL: I can say unequivocally I never listen to the fake news mafia. This FBI director has been on the job twice as many days as every one before me. I've taken half as many days off

Also we got to chat about the upcoming Thunderbirds manual which goes on preorder next week and show off the replica communicator that comes with it.

Its a nice combination of resin and metal and hopefully will be very handy for cosplayers.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin figured out what stars are made of ✨ Also she wasn't believed for a while, but then a man independently made the same finding 🤷‍♀️

I wrote a short profile of her for @sciencenews.bsky.social celebrating her PhD thesis, which set an impossible bar for all theses to come:

The Whip and the Body | GeekChocolate The unwanted son returning to his father's castle to spread more trouble, Christopher Lee controls The Whip and the Body.

Originally considered obscene and heavily cut, the reinstated version of The Whip and the Body is now streaming on Shudder, but it remains gorgeous and expensive and as dull as wallpaper.

Finally saw The Stranger yesterday @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social yesterday. The black and white cinematography was to die for. Not your chronological version of the book but perfectly related with two 21st Century twists in the last 5 minutes. Merci François Ozon!

We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.
