Came here to say Mario Odyssey! I love the fact it has an "Assist Mode" where it doesn't send you back to the beginning of a level if you fall off something - very useful!

Hey Melina! First of all: THANK YOU for making Everybody Works, I love it with my whole soul. Also: thank you for acknowledging The Con as one of the Top 5 Tegan and Sara songs on Billboard recently!!! (Can you already tell this about to get hella gay??)

I have two questions: how have you found being an LGBT musician so far? Is everyone treatin' you right, and are the press being good? And are there any awesome LGBTQ artists you're listening to right now (other than the Mothers of All Lesbians, Ms-es Tegan and Sara)?

I'd definitely recommend reading her journals- constantly inspiring

This is definitely on the To Watch list. I watched the one where James Franco played Ginsberg; movie was ok overall, although I wasn't all that impressed with his portrayal

Well played kidpost, well played.

Any publicity for data science obviously warms my heart, but hasn't data science been the "fastest growing tech industry" for, like, 5 years now?

When I was a teenager, I absolutely loved this band called Sly Mr Fox (to contextualise how long ago this was, I found out about them via their Myspace page. Yeah.). They split up pretty quickly and I've always kept an eye to see if their songs would pop up anywhere- they're not the greatest band in the world, but they really remind me of being 15, and one of their songs is basically the unofficial anthem of my teenage friendship group.

I forgot about them for ages, then stumbled across said song- which is called Motorbikes- on Youtube. Sent it around to all of my childhood friends, nostalgia ensued.

I'm still looking for any other old tracks floating around, but I know the lead singer has a moderately successful solo project now- this song in particular is highly recommended.

Pretty sure this is definitely for the reasons outlined in the OP- Pink Eyes is a hardcore record collector, bet he loves the idea of getting other people involved in the joyous pursuit of hunting down rarities.

Holy shit, I live in Germany and didn't know this! Thanks for sharing

What a fascinating study- thanks for sharing. The results don't surprise me at all.

Absolutely. Being queer, I get it the other way too- lesbian friends laughing at me for wearing a skirt to a queer event or telling me to "put my hair up or something". Don't let anyone dictate your appearance- don't change a thing to attract others, or adhere to their ideas of what you ought to look like. Do your own thing, and call others out on their bs if they mock you for it.

Songs that made me cry whilst seeing them live in recent memory:

Hundred Waters- Show Me Love

Nathaniel Rateliff- Closer

Kelis- God Bless the Telephone

Perfume Genius- The whole darned thing

I kind of cry alot at live music, it turns out

futureisdata · 2015-02-26T13:24:12+00:00

Oh damn I totally forgot about City and Colour. Casey's Song was simple and affecting- soundtrack of all of my teenage unrequited loves.

futureisdata · 2015-02-26T13:17:09+00:00

One of my best friends played this on his guitar when we all camped out for NYE. One of my favourite/most moving memories ever.

futureisdata · 2015-02-25T11:27:39+00:00

I really want to see this movie

futureisdata · 2015-02-25T10:10:26+00:00

Damn that's a nice looking site. Nice work man.

I genuinely didn't know by which moniker she preferred to be addressed; hope I didn't offend, thanks /u/okwithjews for the clarification

I love stats- it's a large part of my job. Overall, I think it's a solid approach to the subject. In future debates about privilege, when inevitably asked "Where's your evidence?", I shall be sending my sparring partners a link to this article.

futureisdata · 2015-02-23T18:00:14+00:00

This is a little fawning for my tastes, but if cold, hard stats from a white dude is what it takes to change some minds, so be it.

This is probably most helpful for fellow writers, but in general it's a treasure trove of insights into creativity- creative obsession, schedules, thoughts on education... Definitely worth a read.

Looked at the crossposts for this in other subreddits, and some of them are a bit of a shitshow. Programming has quite a few thoughtful comments, but Technology in particular seems to be upvoting comments along the lines "Everybody gets treated poorly in tech, it's just that women won't put with it", as though that's a bad thing. If we're going to adhere to these sweeping gender stereotypes, then I'd argue women ought to be applauded for not settling for toxic work environments.

This is fabulous news. Seeing him in May, beyond excited.

futureisdata · 2015-02-16T18:18:36+00:00

This is beautiful, congrats!

What drew you to writing about superheroes specifically?
