They say that everything old is new again. Sometimes that's true, I think.

G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.
Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

Dune - go see it

What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

Just in case it needs to be said:

If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.
Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.
I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

Shippers Rejoice! · 5:15pm Nov 28th, 2014

First things first: Lyra and Bon-Bon are now one giant leap closer to being able to get hitched in Finland!

Finnish Parliament voted today to allow same-sex marriage, 105 to 92, meaning we're well on our way to join our Nordic neighbors. (We've had civil partnerships for same-sex couples since 2002, but as usual, those don't come with all the bells and whistles, plus it's a matter of principle.) There's a lot of parliamentary procedure and legislative work ahead, but today's vote was by far the biggest hurdle, and it's unlikely that any new issues come up.

I'm a boringly straight person, but I know GLBT folks, on- and off-line, whose life this will change for the better. So rejoice, everyone!
