Summary: Single father Din Djarin is trying to finish his long neglected degree and must take a class this semester or lose his active student status. The only class available is a literature class he has no interest in, but when his silver fox of a professor walks in he might just change his mind.

English professor Cobb Vanth is a serial first-dater on every app available, and is immediately intrigued by the profile of a man who seems to be going for warm, not sexy. Unfortunately that man is currently sitting in the front row of his class.

I’ve been so excited just thinking about S2.

Maybe this time—imagining all sorts of things about Andor I haven’t seen yet—is actually the happiest part.

Once it’s over, I’m sure I’ll be feeling some terrible post-Andor blues.

It’s hilarious to me how Colossal Biosciences wants to be movie-version John Hammond but are 100% book-version John Hammond. In the Jurassic Park novel, it’s very clear: John Hammond is a con artist who gives people an illusion, not the truth. He knew from the beginning that what he was making weren’t dinosaurs, but he didn’t care because he had a story to sell. He wasn’t just “filling in gaps” with the frog dna, his scientists were basically making things up from whole cloth and he had no pretence about it- but he also knew what the public wanted to believe.

The Return of the Dire Wolf
Colossal Biosciences has genetically engineered the first dire wolf to live in over 10,000 years. Here's what that means for other extinct s
TIME

These are not dire wolves. These are GMO gray wolves. Dire wolves aren’t even in the same genus as gray wolves, and we know this from genetics.

What Colossal is doing is scamming the public. They want you to believe that they can pull off miracles. They can’t. It’s the flea circus where everything is mechanised, but because you want to believe, you “see” the fleas. They might be good at genetic modification and they might be good at hyping themselves up, but they haven’t de-extincted the dire wolf. They didn’t activate mammoth genes in a mouse. They are lying to you and they’re going to keep doing it. Don’t believe the hype.

In a move surprising absolutely no one, JKR has now added asexual people to her list of people to mock and bully online. While obviously this is nowhere near the amount of vitriol she aims towards trans women in particular, it’s continued evidence of her bigotry and yet another reason not to support or engage with the new HP show if her continued transmisogyny still wasn’t enough.

Anyway fuck HP and fuck JKR.
