fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard, Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan, Sam Carter
Rating: Unrated. I'd say, Teen.
Length: 8260
Content Notes: The author chose not to warn.
Creator Links: vain_glorious on AO3
Themes: Mystery and suspense, Road trips, Team, Friendship, AU: fork in the road
Summary: Following the events of 5X01, Team Sheppard goes to Earth and takes a roadtrip across the US.
Reccer's Notes: The team, plus newborn Torren, are back in the USA, travelling across the country and stopping at all John's favourite attractions. It should be a fun time, but they're all in unhappy moods and John can't get them to perk up at all. As the story progresses, we become aware that something's off, but it's hard to figure out what. The mystery's finally made clear in a possibly hopeful ending, depending on your point of view. It's not for those who don't like any darkness in their fics, but there's great characterisation and it's very well written, surprisingly funny at times, and the ending is powerful.

Dry your tears, darlings.
Nov. 29th, 2025 02:35 amindeliblesashaLately when people ask, "how are you doing these days!" I have taken to replying, I work in politics. So. Ha.
Then they make A Face and/or laugh a kind of horrified laugh? and/or say, oh my god I am so sorry.
But what I mean by "I work in politics" is that I volunteer in a horrifically high stress role.
I am a County Party Chair, which is a thankless job where you ask for money all the time and people yell at you for what your senators are doing and you constantly have to try and recruit volunteers for more thankless work and you help people get re-elected that you don't necessarily even LIKE but
Politically they align with your values enough that they're wildly better than the candidates bragging about calling the Nazis to report their neighbors and these days that means there's really no goddamn choice.
And I apparently have the self preservation instincts of a *snail* so in April I agreed to
Also be in charge of securing our statewide party elections.
I spend a LOT of fucking unpaid time working for other people's aspirations, hopes, and dreams.
It's worth it. Right now we are literally fighting every day to salvage what's left of our democracy.
But.
The thing is.
It's 1:30am and I am awake trying to reconcile this work that I do desperately trying to drag my party out of the rip currant of right-wing extremism disguised as that sexy fantasy called "bipartisanship"
And the fact that my friend has been dead for like, 60 hours but because she was a senator
the goddamn world feels entitled to the details of her family's grief.
Because her friends are legislators they started getting texts and phone calls from the press LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS after her life was tragically stolen
We're all fucking destroyed. But the work never stops.
Never pauses.
We've got state law dictating how long we get to grieve before we have to get back to electing people.
Human beings cannot survive the kind of sustained trauma we are all living with every day, anyway. How in the actual fuck are these wonderful people supposed to run without pause?
Let's face this way, then the winter sun catches the streaks in your makeup just-so on camera. Now wipe your tears, darlings, it's time to fight over what kind of life-saving medicine people are allowed to have!
The fucking rules say the clock is ticking down for when we're in violation of the law.
I hate my job.
My friend is dead.
And at the end of the day we saw each other so rarely that her absence will not leave a gaping hole in my day-to-day life. All I can do is use what energy I have to spare to try and support the people who will never be the same from this grief.
It's 1:50am and I'm still awake because I forgot to take my meds yesterday morning and didn't realize until the nausea hit at 10pm and I had no choice but to take them even though they'd make it hard to sleep.
Because I had to go sit at my (dead) friend's kitchen table to help make lists of how many death certificates will be needed for the insurance and the bank and the
And quietly keep her most beloved people from knowing that the law says we have to fill her fucking seat in 30 days and the fucking clock started ticking the *moment* she fucking died. So some of us are looking at fucking calendars while the tears streak our cheeks.
Dry those tears, darlings.
Get back to work.
I hate my job.
I can't quit my job.
I will not quit on the people breaking themselves every day to save as many lives as they can before their hearts give out and their spirits break.
Not even the ones I don't really like.
It's 2:00am and I can't sleep because when the sun comes up.
Well.
I'll have to go double check the statutes so I know how many ballots we'll have to count and how many of her friends will have to bury her one day and vote to replace her the next.
No person is replaceable.
I hate my job.
I will not give up.
I don't know how to quit.
When you return to the raw energy of the universe you are no longer constrained by the laws of time and space.
When you are stardust you can be anywhere and everywhere all at once.
I know she'll understand when the people broken by her loss are forced to dry their tears.
She had to do it too.

Nov. 28th, 2025 10:03 pmsnickficMeme nabbed from sushiflop, who also has the coded text if you want to do the meme yourself.
Go to your Works page on AO3, look at the tags, and see what the answers to these questions are. (Or any other site that has tags)
1. What rating do you write most fics under? Teen and up. Basically anything with a "fuck" gets marked at least teen, whatever else is in it.
2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
What's listed are Buffy, Hockey RPF, and SPN, but if I go to the MCU page, which includes all my fics that are in MCU subfandoms, that has the most works of any of my fandoms at 95.
3. What is your top character you write about?
Sidney Crosby with 33 fics. Still, all these years later!
4. What are the 3 top pairings?
Sid/Geno (hockey, 24 fics), Liam/Noel (Oasis, 23), and Spike/Buffy (BtVS, 14). Yes indeed, those are my OTPs. <3 Fourth is Dan/Herbert from Re-Animator, which feels right as well.
Despite writing a shit ton of MCU fic, I was too much of a multishipper for any of my ships to threaten the top here. My highest was Carol/Yon-Rogg, and I only wrote 8 for them.
5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
Drabble (64), mpreg (50 jfc), and hurt/comfort (29). Zero percent surprised by the first two, but I'm a little surprised by the h/c count. I don't tend to think of myself as a h/c writer. However, I do like writing things that contain h/c, and I guess I'm good at tagging it when it applies...
6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
I only need to write two more Gallaghercest fics for that to be my top ship! To be fair a bunch of the existing ones are less than 1k long, so Sid/Geno probably still wins by wordcount, but OTOH one of those Gallaghercest fics was 40k, so maybe not.

Russia's space program breaks their main launch pad!
Nov. 28th, 2025 09:47 pmthewayneThis is bad, for both Russia and the USA.
There was a successful launch Thursday from Pad 31 in Kazakstan of a Soyuz rocket carrying two Russian cosmonauts and one American astronaut to the ISS. But there was a problem on the ground.
One of the launch tower's moving platforms that is used to inspect and service the rocket was not properly secured prior to launch. The blast from the rocket passing the platform blew it down into the flame trench, causing a lot of damage to the pad, probably the tower, and presumably destroying the platform - which weighed 20 tons. Roscomos, the agency that runs the Russian space program (roughly the equivalent of NASA) claims that the damage will be repaired shortly. However, so many materials in manpower, money, and actual physical materials have been diverted to their failing war effort against Ukraine that this might not happen. One specific example of how Roscomos is being squeezed is that they used to send four crews to the ISS annually, now they're sending three.
While Russia has many launch facilities through its countries and neighbors, i.e. former USSR countries, Pad 31 is currently the only launch pad that can be used to send Soyuz and Proton rockets to the ISS. Pad 1 at the Kazakstan facility - where Uri Gregarin launched from - could be used, but it's been decommissioned and is being turned into a museum.
The Soyuz launches are used for crew/supply missions, the Proton launches are solely supply runs but also used to boost the ISS into a higher orbit. Fortunately NASA can also use SpaceX Dragons and Northrop Grumman’s Cygnusfor boost and also for supply.
This will also put some pressure on SpaceX as they've been having some problems with their super-heavy booster, trying to get it reliable enough to get people to the Moon and allegedly to Mars, not to mention their lunar lander being so far behind schedule that NASA is sending out an SOS contract for someone else to come up with another lander, otherwise SpaceX's tardiness will delay the USA going back to the Moon.

Maleficent - Okay. I was skeptical as fuck, waited for video release. OMG, I was so wrong. This was just the slight twist I needed on the original to make it work for me. The cast played their hearts out. Diaval IS SO GOOD! I just love this movie to bits and pieces.
Annie (2014) - Another seen after the theater, but this time caught on DirecTV. And HOT DAMN I am glad I did. I love and adore it as a remake. The cast played it superbly, updated for the modern era and all! Just, magnificent.

Cryptography organization has to nullify election because someone lost the decrypt key!
Nov. 28th, 2025 09:32 pmthewayneThis is both funny and sad because (A) it happened to the International Association of Cryptologic Research, an organization that's been around for 50-some years, and (2) because it demonstrates how brittle encryption can be.
The organization was its annual leadership election, and was using high-strength and verifiable encryption. Everyone who submitted their vote could verify, through their own encryption key, that their vote was correct and not tampered with. Three members of the election committee each held one-third of the key required to completely decrypt the master file to tabulate the vote, so all three had to simultaneously submit their part of the key to process the votes.
One of the members lost their part of the key, irrecoverably, through simple human error - not a hack. Thus, the file remains forever locked.
The IACR is re-running the election which will close on December 20 using a different encryption methodology requiring two of the three key portions. And the person who lost their part of the key has resigned from the election committee, I don't know if they're still part of the organization.

For Sale: Nintendo Switch games
Nov. 28th, 2025 09:54 pmsettiaiI've made this post a few times without any luck, but I wanted to try again just in case I have better luck this time. Would anyone be interested in any of the following Nintendo Switch games?
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (example on Amazon)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (example on Amazon)
TemTem (example on Amazon)
If you're not interested but know someone who might be, please point them my way. I'm about $65 shy of where I need to be to pay for my storage unit this month, because the universe hates me, and it would help a lot if I could manage to sell even one of them.
For payment, I have CashApp ($Settiai), PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle (nancy.lynn.foster@gmail.com).

Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Results, Sadly Running True to Form
Nov. 25th, 2025 01:52 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png){kind=small}
in_the_pipeline_feedThere have been some interesting failures recently in Alzheimer’s trials. As long-time readers will know, I consider basically all Alzheimer’s drug trials to have failed to one degree or another, and particularly when it comes to clearing the “will improve patient’s lives in the real world without putting them at too much risk” hurdle. But these two are notable because they’re aimed outside the usual amyloid zone.
First off, Novo Nordisk reported that semaglutide (the company’s GLP-1 agonist drug, of course) failed in two Alzheimer’s trials. This was going to be a long shot, but long shots are worth taking in this area if you can afford to try them. Studies of thousands of patients with early cognitive impairment who took an oral form of semaglutide (Rybelsus, currently approved as a diabetes therapy) did not show improvements in mental function as compared to placebo. The company says that the treatment group showed “improvement of Alzheimer’s disease-related biomarkers” in both trials, although it does not (as far as I can see) say what those biomarkers were. And I would wonder how good they are as indicators given that you can show improvements in them and still not beat placebo, personally.
The company’s stock took a hit on the news, which is kind of strange. Surely people weren’t betting on this succeeding? But Novo investors have been a jumpy bunch for a while now as Eli Lilly’s star continues to ascend in this area, so the sight of another possible life preserver disappearing might have been enough by itself. At any rate, it does appear as if there’s a disease where GLP-1 drugs are not actually beneficial. Novo had some better news today, though, with a once-weekly shot/once-daily pill combination for amycretin, a dual GLP-1/amylin agonist. I see that people are not quite giving up on the GLP-1/Alzheimer’s idea, but it has to be considered an even longer shot than before.
There’s also news in the anti-tau protein area. That’s long been considered a possible Alzheimer’s target, and by “long” I mean decades. But it’s been hard to put that idea to the test in the clinic. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years it has been possible, and the results have not been good so far. Early last year a Lilly candidate (LY3372689, ceperognastat) failed its own trial. Earlier this year Asceneuron halted work on its own oral anti-tau drug candidate (ASN51), and Biogen stopped BIIB113, another similar effort.
Now all of these are (were) O-GlcNAcase inhibitors, so you could easily make the case that the problem is that might not be a good mechanism to target tau, even if tau itself is a valid idea. But last year Roche bailed on a collaboration for an anti-tau antibody, which went on to fail its trials shortly afterwards. And the latest news is that J&J’s shot at an anti-tau antibody (posdinemab) has also failed its pivotal trial, with no efficacy seen in slowing the disease at the two-year mark. There are other tau programs that are now in the clinic, but they’re clearly going to have to bring something unusual to make you think that they will show interesting levels of efficacy at this point. Good luck, folks. . .
Swap Station 254
Nov. 28th, 2025 09:28 pmadmiral posting in colors_tcg
Hey! You over there! Can you help me practice my shooting? If you do, I'll give you some meat!
Oh, you don't want any meat? You prefer cards? Who would choose cards over meat?
That's okay, we can still help each other! You just throw some of your cards for my target practice, and I'll swap them out with new ones when I'm done. Everybody wins! And then we can all eat some meat together.
Rules:
- You can play up to four cards and one crayon per weekly round. You'll lose these cards & crayons.
- Ochette will replace the cards with other cards of the same deck but with a different number.
- Ochette will replace your crayon with another of a different color.
- Please list the card names and crayon color so I can swap them easily.
- There's no special criteria that'll decide the replacements. Everything's going to be randomized. You're only guaranteed to not get the same exact things in return.
- If you have a reward coupon that guarantees you more cards from answering a round, you can use it to get more plays.
