I've read chapters 1-11 of the webcomic Aurora and thought I'd record my reactions for posterity.

The character writing is really good. Made better by how expressive the art makes each of them.

God the lighting is so fucking good.

I dislike The Collector not in a fun way but in a "I wish people would stop giving villains this personality" way.

I respect the amount of proper nouns used in this comic.

Kendal is so cool.

A player in a D&D campaign I run said their character was inspired by Kendal and I get it now.

Did I mention how good the lighting is in this comic?

I also really enjoy Erin and Alinua, I'm told there is going to more characters added to the main cast by I would be fine with just the three of them.

The Shadow Dragon is such a whiny bitch.

All of the gods have rad character designs. I hope they aren't going to be murder by the Collector.

How could Jolon betray me!?!

Falst is fine.

one of the more upsetting things you notice if you look back at older european weapons is that nobody fucking named any of the types of flail so you've gotta describe them by appearance every single time

This holiday season, please consider supporting Dahnoun Mutual Aid’s campaign to provide winter clothes and blankets in Gaza. Dahnoun is a Gazawi-run grassroots initiative that has been providing thousands of people in multiple areas of Gaza with water, food, baby milk, diapers, tents, and other supplies since July. With your donations, they are able to buy blankets and clothes in bulk at a reduced price and give them out at no cost to people sheltering in displacement camps. Their Chuffed campaign is linked above, and you can find their Venmo and Paypal in addition to documentation of the past several months’ aid initiatives on Instagram. The blankets and clothes fundraiser is detailed in a recent post: instagram.com/dahnounmutualaid

one of my favorite genres of show is one where it is set in a city and the writers are clearly live in and are obsessed with said city

Honestly one of the more subtly interesting things about G.I. Robot's backstory is how his humanity affirmed or rejected by society at convenience. After the war, GI is treated like a war hero, paraded around as a hero, but afterwards, once he is no longer needed, he is sold and treated like technology. After he ethically removes the neo-naizs, the government tries him as a human because it is easier than taking responsibility for basically abandoning and forgetting about dangerous machinery. But when Waller assembles the commados, he is no longer labeled as a human to skirt regulations. Really the only person who treats GI as a human despite of inconvenience is Nina, who mourns him when it would be easier to dismiss him as disposable.

remember when Wizards hired a bunch of Youtubers whose microniche is making metal covers of Disney songs to make soundtracks for a few Magic the Gathering sets? Why did they do that?

Louisiana students Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson wowed their teachers in 2022 when they discovered a new way to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean theorem in response to a bonus question in a high school math contest. But that was only the beginning.

A volunteer at their former school, New Orleans’ St. Mary’s Academy, encouraged them to submit their work on the famous mathematical theory to a professional conference, and in March 2023 they became the youngest people to present at the American Mathematical Society’s Southeastern Sectional conference in Atlanta. Their appearance elicited a wave of media coverage, including a spot on “60 Minutes.” The pair also received symbolic keys to the city of New Orleans and a shout-out from Michelle Obama.

Now Jackson and Johnson, who started college last year, have notched another achievement: authoring an academic paper detailing their original proof — plus nine more. Their work published Monday in the scientific journal American Mathematical Monthly.
