How not to acknowledge a professional colleague: "I am adding your name not because I think you deserve it or are entitled to it, but because it is the noble thing to do."

Lego is recruiting new members for its "mission crew," issuing rocket builders with an exclusive mission patch at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. The toy company has launched "Space Station 8R1CK5."
What's your favourite thing about the Olympics?
The forced political truce? The €12 billion thrown at the private sector? The 24/7 media coverage of sport? Tons of cops and ultra-security measures? More than 10,000 evictions? Queer washing? Validism at every level? Nationalism in the guise of competition? The mockery of ecology?

I had hopes. Deadpool is notorious for breaking the fourth wall and making sarcastic asides about the whole premise of comic book superheroes, so thought maybe it would be funny. Maybe it was, but …Pharyngula
For crying out loud, this.
People keep applauding the 'R-Rated action" but every action scene is boring as hell, since every single character in it is invincible.
The gear up for this "awesome" action with the mask and then it's like 10 minutes of pointless nonsense, which ends pointlessly with everyone getting back up.

Looking at this photo.... More and more as I get older, seeing photos of contemporary monarchs in all of their royal regalia just gives me the impression of adults playing dress-up against a backdrop of homemade photo-op sets.
