Lemon Jelly. Creationism. Fight Club. The cinema of Hal Hartley. All this and more will be touched upon in the Dale's Ramblings Sixth AnniVARsary Spectacular, as we look at the last of Virgin's Decalogs.

The Mammoth Book of the End of the World edited by Mike Ashley

3.5 out of 5

A collection of twenty-four short stories and novellas exploring the destruction of civilization and/or the planet. The authors range from Golden Age giants to more modern ones. While the majority of the stories are reprints, there are a few original to this collection.

I've taken my time reading this chunky book which is reflected in the time taken from start to finish. I find collections like this work better for me when I dip in when I want something different from what else that I've been reading. However the stories are different enough to read through with no interruptions.

One of the better collections of this trope that I've read in many years. Only one story came in rated at less than 3 stars, an unusual situations with such a narrow focus and large number of stories. A few of my favorites include "When Sysadmins Ruled the World" by Cory Doctorow; "The Last Sunset" by Geoffrey A. Landis, particularly heart wrenching; and "And the Deep Blue Sea" by Elizabeth Bear.

If you love well written stories, consider picking this up. It is well worth your time.

脫歐沒有解決英國的問題，脫歐本身就是問題

在英國正式脫離歐盟的第三周年紀念日，一些英國人開始經歷「脫歐後悔症」（Bregret）。英國新聞意見網站UnHerd與軟件公司Focaldata本周合作收集的民調顯示，在全英632個議會選區，除3個選區以外，餘下地區的絕大多數民眾如今認為「脫歐是錯誤的決定」。 在2016年那場「脫歐公投」中，正是「奪回控制權」這句口號深深地打動民眾，以至於左右了公投結果。讓主權從布魯塞爾回歸英國議會，意味著英國人能重新自主地管理本國的邊界、法律與金融體制： 有效的移民管控，據說會緩解房價過高，因職業技能缺失��致的勞工收入過低，以及各類公共服務成本過高帶來的生活壓力。脫離歐盟的監管體系，並與其它國家簽署一對一的自貿協議，據說會讓倫敦成為全世界的銀行，「泰晤士河上的新加坡」。 以上種種收益，加上英國脫歐後無需向布魯塞爾繳納的費用（僅2015年就達108億英鎊），意味著能解放更多資金，用於投資基礎設施建…

Guyyyyyyssssssss I need to see your favorite characters drawn in this RIGHT NOW!!!

Actually let me make this it's own post. Hi here's a description of the man™️ after I stared at his face for lord knows how long and tried to gather all his unique lil details:

- his jawline is the widest part of his face

- regarding the above; or it might just be deliberate, if you look closely his hair looks like he's using the middle part to frame his face beneath all the loose strands

- his nose isn't not straight but he has a kinda defined indent on the right side of his nose bridge making it look crooked without really having a crook?

- one of his 'wrinkles' next to his right eye actually looks like a faded scar or smth. The skin returned to its normal colour but it is as deep as a wrinkles without fitting into the symmetry of them and actively crossing another

- his weird makeup choice and his hollowed face kinda emphasise his wrinkles like fuck cuz his eyes r rly, rly sunken in and his emo makeup just deepends the shadows

- he's kinda giving 'not aged like fine wine' babyface except those pinchable cheeks surrendered to a very gaunt look aka very high cheekbones but now they're rly just bone casting rly weird shadows

- incredibly hooded eyes and the skin on his browbone is very exposed and has a slight curve, thx evil arched brows

- actually re the above they also kinda resemble deepset eyes. The parts of the eyelids that you can see are highlighted by the fact that his eyes r so sunken in

- after carefully starring at a bunch of characters for far too long; he probably has some of the fullest lips in all of Faerûn, but also slightly down turned - thinning them out when he smiles, or attempts it ig

- The scar on his chin is pretty darn deep, it's not that much discoloured it's just in constant shadow

- cupid's bow? He's never heard of that

-his smile lines are about as defined as Gale's but on his face there's more shadows that deepen them

-bald spots in his stubble

- very visible pores

Overall on very close inspection he's giving hair gel imperium that runs on 1h of sleep in the last 72h and if you cut him he probably bleeds espresso. Like that man looks kinda starved and very much unhealthy. His face is basically just highlights or shadows. No in-between.

He has a very attractive, very sharp face but it's very much hidden beneath all the unhealthy habits that you can see on it. Clean him up, feed him, teach him how to use a razor, replace the make up with something more subtle and he'd rise to fame thx to being a thirst trap in seconds. And if you just look at his side profile you kinda get a preview of that already. He does look young. Very much so (return of the babyface).

And he does look like a fuckboy.

I wish Batman would fuck with the Joker more. I know he can't. Scratch, I know an important piece of their core dynamic is that he is above it, which opens the way to great contrasts when other characters (ie icon Terry Bats) do. But come on, it would be so easy. It would be free.

During a teamup in Gotham, Bats could dreamily remark that he likes Superman because he makes him laugh. What options does the clownfucker have now? Try to jealously kill fucking Superman or simply dive backwards into the Hudson River. The whole thing would take ten seconds of work, and I don't think there'd be collateral damage. Superman's already there.

look, all i'm saying is while cody is super friendly, i don't think he'd be the one to befriend the decepticons.

and before y'all come for me: frankie is the one befriending the cons, i don't take criticism. i mean she's a snarky genius with zero fear of danger. she's extremely ambitious and cunning, and she's never afraid to speak her mind. she's a dreamer with the skills to back her up. frankie knows what she wants and she isn't afraid to take it.

frankie is a kind person who could help the decepticons be better, which cody is too. but the main reason she's the one who becomes friends with them is because she's enough of a threat to be on their radar as a human to respect. i mean a lot of the tech on griffin rock is just as advanced, if not MORE advanced than cybertronian tech. and guess who knows every single detail about that stuff because she literally grew up in a lab? that's right, frankie.

i mean seriously! she has a pet robotic dinosaur! she tests out almost all of her dad's inventions!! she was a superhero that could walk through walls and had a motorcycle with rockets attached!!! all of the decepticons' technology would be pretty normal to her, and anything that wasn't she could easily learn how to operate.

and if all that wasn't enough, look at her family. her dad is literally a mad scientist, he just doesn't let his skills go to his head. her stepmom is a professor who lived underwater for twenty eight years and is still readjusting to people. her little sister is programming whiz, and she can't even speak yet!! her whole family is these super eccentric geniuses with a reckless streak a mile wide. that's essentially what the decepticon faction is!

also as a black girl growing up in america she understands the decepticons, who are mostly low or lower-middle class. she's very aware of the struggles marginalized people face, being one herself. but she would also totally call them out on their crimes, because she has a super strong sense of morality.

anyways frankie is iconic and would be the human to befriend the decepticons, not cody. (i think cody would be friends with them later, but frankie is the one who forces them to realize what they've done and that they can be better.)
