Yeah, Aardman are very much still stop motion (with a few tiny cheats, the stadium audience in Early Man and the sea in Pirates on an Adventure with Scientists).

Honestly, I think it's massively significant. For a start off, that's 20 million people, the population of Chile, in one quarter. That's a lot of people regardless of how you slice it.

But more to the point, Meta services - Facebook especially - have reached a point of cultural impact where anyone who doesn't have them can't be talked into getting them anyway. Plus, they're useful messaging services too, because everyone else uses them. Their popularity has become self-fulfilling. The idea of Meta losing more users than it's gaining at all has been frankly unthinkable until recently.

I do both - I shave with the grain first, and then against the grain to get anything that the previous shave didn't get. Generally I get the benefits of both!

The Secret Show - this old British cartoon about secret agents that would go on exciting missions and such! I swear that oversimplified corporate art style took inspiration from The Secret Show!

Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial

Didn't Minecraft overtake Tetris years ago?

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Human Fall Flat here though. I don't hear many people talk about it, but it has a seriously fun multiplayer

I have a Fairphone 3, and it definitely does have a headphone jack (unless there are other versions of it that don't)

Fantastic news - the UK had to learn the hard way who its real allies and adversaries are

Let's give the next generation back their right to giggle at "spotted dick" in restaurant menus

Spotted dick

Is that true? I'm actually floored by the idea of trying to doxx the Wikipedia editors. That's some of the most shameless anti-intellectualism and psychopathy I've ever heard of.

But to answer your question directly while I process that, yes, I think moving their location to Denmark or anywhere in Europe would be an absolute victory. The only thing that's stopped me from donating to Wikipedia is the thought that it'd get taxed and Trump would pocket some of it. While financially, the US government may not lose much, it's a massive reputational loss, and sets the stage for other companies to do the same.

I've been watching it with friends, and have seen about the first half of it now!

I'm pretty surprised by how little messed up stuff has happened so far compared to what I've heard about it, but I'm bracing for that second half! In general, I'm liking it a lot and I see why it's been so influential in anime since it came out
