Has there ever been a scene of witches flying around on brooms in a movie that has realistic acceleration physics etc?
I'm picturing a pair of witches in tight formation at high altitude making a steep dive to pick up speed, then pull out at treetop height, a high G turn to line up for a low pass over a bunch of trick-or-treaters, then maybe getting a ping on their RWR when some grownups come into view.

I agree with the following but understand why folks would like to be private too!
Fernando Borretti:: "I Wish People Were More Public"
Probably not a popular thing to say today. The zeitgeisty thing to say is that we should all log off and live terrible cottagecore solarpunk lives raising chickens and being mindful. I wish people were more online and more public. I have rarely wished the opposite. Consider this post addressed to you, the reader." --> Read the whol…

Ecological myopia: The blind spot holding back climate action
Global debate about how to navigate the climate crisis often centers on high-level pledges and whether national targets are being met. Yet focusing on these technical outcomes obscures a deeper problem that keeps climate action falling short.

Game designers/programmers:
(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)

- Momo Pixel ("Hair Nah")
- Zoë Quinn ("Depression Quest"; narrative designer on "Solar Ash")

Note: I haven't included composers or artists here, but there's a deep bench.
Games journalists/steamers:
- Tanya DePass @… (#/INeedDiverseGames; twitch streams)
- Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency)
Game/play scholars:
- Mary Flanagan ("Critical Play")

P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

I'm sitting at Zurich Airport waiting to pick someone up. Next to me sits a German person who has propped up their iPad on their suitcase. They are in a video conference with several people from banks and legal, discussing tax "optimization" from Germany by buying real estate in different US states and pretending to live elsewhere. On loudspeaker.
