       Finished #Sandman on #Netflix last night. Great central performance by #TomSturridge . Probably the most faithful comics adaptation I''ve ever seen, with most episodes precisely matching a comics issue by @neilhimself and his various artists. I wonder what other comics series could support such a faithful issue-by-issue adaptation? (Side-by-side comparison images from https://screenrant.com/the-sandman-netflix-scenes-identically-match-comic-panels/ )

       @johnquiggin do Coalition leaders have any will to fight entryism though? Labour did that pretty agressively in Britain (don't know the Australian history so well)

       I was joking with @johncarlosbaez recently about listening to intuitionistic music (instead of classical). Turns out it's real! "In the ... 1970s, a young composer working at the electronic music studio in Stockholm, named at the time Christer Hennix, found that Brouwer’s intuitionist mathematics had a practical yet rigorous philosophical application: for electronic music and the search for elevated experience". https://www.frieze.com/article/room-sound-objects-abstractions-art-catherine-christer-hennix #CatherineChristerHennix #Brouwer #Intuitionism

       @johnquiggin there's a few decades of history of it being pushed (in its modern form) in the UK and the US, with their efforts only hitting the mainstream of the hard right quite recently to gain attention over issues like immigration etc. Other countries are well behind in this, and might never catch up, but the British terfs in particular definitely have international ambitions, e.g. Twitter pile-ons aimed at New Zealand trans activists

       @lowqualityfacts I favourited it instead. I hope that counts to your total. Maybe you could multiply boosts by favourites? That seems fair.

       #FinishedReading this self-contained #Fantasy / #SciFi epic by #KatherineKerr . A really nicely handled piece of world building, with secret truths about history, religion, and magic / technology gradually revealed. Vivid characters also. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

       @grammargirl is X is the Napolean of Crime (for Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes stories, but inspired by a real criminal) the most famous example of this phenomenon?

       #FinishedReading comedian #FernBrady 's autobiography. Don't be fooled by her day job and the silly Frankie Boyle blurb on the cover; although there's a lot of wit, this is a traumatic story about being an undiagnosed autistic girl and woman in a society that is often hostile to both autism and women. Not a light read but eye opening for an allistic dad of (thankfully, diagnosed) autistic kids, and definitely recommended. #Bookstodon @bookstodon #Autism
