Did you know? You can run Folding@home software on your computer to help research diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, and COVID-19. It's free. Folding@home breaks down complicated calculations into small pieces that can be completed by home computers, then re-assembles them into biological simulations. This helps them understand how viruses enter cells, how proteins can fold the wrong way and cause disease, and what kinds of drugs might be able to treat disease. They've already published many scientific papers going back 20 years, and they're still active as of 2023. If this sounds like a cause you're interested in, give it a try.

Batman doesn't cover his full face with the cowl because backup plan #73b includes strategic biting. imagine fighting Batman and he just leans forward and takes a chunk out of your neck. you're telling me that wouldn't stop any and all fighting right then and there?

I think it would be funny if in season 2 it becomes a running gag of Vox sending spies to the hotel who just end up captured into the net of found family and friendship and become part of the clientele and Vox doesn’t get why he keeps losing contact with them (and assumes Alastor probably killed them) until one day Charlie comes to personally thank him for bringing her so many souls for rehabilitation and for believing in her cause and Vox just. Doesn’t know what is happening. And short circuits.

“The queerness of Mother 3 is a complicated thing. It’s ever present but just how much is supposed to be played for jokes and just how much is to be taken sincerely remains unclear. At the center of this is our protagonist, Lucas. Lucas is an absolute softy, a total mama’s boy. He is not fast, strong, or brave. All of those qualities are held by his adventurous twin brother, Claus. When their mother, Hinawa, dies, Claus swears revenge and embarks on a journey, but Lucas just cries. He visits his mother’s grave daily. He’s not looking for adventure or vengeance, he’s just sad.
It’s through these early sections of grief that Lucas’s queerness begins to appear. He’s incredibly close with his mother. His father, Flint, is generally absent and when he is present seems more concerned with finding Claus than raising Lucas. Lucas is sensitive to a fault and in opposition with the world around him, one where boys play outside trying to tackle dinosaurs all day. As his village, Tazmily, leaves behind its early idealism in favor of a more commercial existence, its citizens become darker, more sinister. They’re meaner, harder, and also apathetic to the changes around them. The more they change the more it highlights how different Lucas is. He stays soft, he cares so much, he just wants to help.
…
Lucas’s greatest strength is his softness, his kindness. …In the final battle of the game we see him, alone, fighting a brainwashed Claus with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Claus launches attack after attack, but Lucas will not hit him back no matter what the player does. Instead Lucas can guard, he can heal himself, and he can believe in his brother. He can even cry a little.”
— Dave Tomaine, “Mother Is Mothering: Grief, Queerness, and Softness in Mother 3”
