Nasreddin Hodja was once arrested because he was standing in the market square telling people that he's above the Sultan. Although threatened with death for sedition, he refused to recant, but requested an audience with the Sultan and the Ulema to prove the veracity of his controversial statement. And he asked them:
"O wise teachers, tell me, who's above this soldier here?"
"His superior officer is above him, the one who gives him orders."
"And who's above the superior officer, wise teachers?"
"Why, the Qaddi, the judge."
"And above the qaddi?"
"Above the qaddi is the Vizier, as everyone knows."
"And above the Vizier?"
"Above the vizier is of course the Sultan, our Padishah, long may he live and reign, whose feet we are not worthy to dust."
"And above the Sultan?"
"Above the Sultan is none but God."
"And above God?"
"What? Above God? What are you on about? Nothing's above God!"
"Well there you have it!", said Nasreddin triumphantly, "I'M nothing!"

I’m pretty sure Boimler is “genetically enhanced” but they botched it and he’s just got a bunch of weird health issues.

For WLW the best part about genderbending Reservoir Dogs is that you wouldn't even need to change Ms. Orange's outfits or hair because they'd still come off as incredibly gay. Also Orange's real surname already ends with "dyke" as is, so yeah.

I really want Tech and Hemlock to debate/argue but the reality is Hemlock would wind up to something and Tech would just shoot him, so it would have to be Tech-as-prisoner. As a prisoner he'd be disinclined to argue in good faith and revert to bastard middle child behavior, and Hemlock, as we've seen, has a short temper.
But it would be funny. Until the torture began, at least.

I'm gonna make a supercut of all of Nigel's entrances, measure the length the entrances (specifically how long he lies down and makes eyes at the crowd beforehand, for how long he presents his arse, how much he arches his back) and compare this data to his estimated position on the heel to babyface axis, to confirm my theory that evil = slutty.

Quentin for the character ask?
i see what you’re doing here mister—but anyways!
1. he’s real goddamn silly. also pretty goddamn smart.
2. do i have to say it. he’s aro.
3. science. perhaps jenny.
4. it’s hard to have unpopular opinions on the show when no one’s ever heard of the show.
5. i’ve only watched two episodes so. can’t answer it yet.
6. quentin’s only love is science and experiments and fire occasionally
7. platonic but. quentin and dan holiday, or quentin and raven. quentin and jay even.
8. if quentin and jay were to meet, it’s the catalyst for why nick grows a beard. i have thoughts on this. lots of them

It's astonishing how much the skeptic movement has changed for the better over the last ten years. QED Con 2013 featured Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins on a panel together. Now, between Krauss' sexual harassment and subsequent move to the Intellectual Dark Web, and Dawkins' embrace of right wing xenophobia and transphobia, neither would be allowed in the doors.
Not too long ago, the consensus among atheist/skeptical activists was that our focus should be on the clash between religion and science, and that social and political issues would only unnecessarily divide the movement. Now, the organizers at QED 2022 have put on a conference that is so aggressively queer friendly that, for the first time since moving to England last year, I felt perfectly comfortable using the restroom as a trans person.
And while the movement still definitely has demographic issues, the speakers and attendees at this year's QED demonstrated a shift in the right direction. The crowds were more diverse by far than the online perception of atheists would lead you to believe, and the speakers addressed topics such as the faulty foundations of race science, the near future of ableist eugenics, and the goal of building a world that is more accommodating to neurodivergence.
As the final panel of the weekend said, it's hard to say skepticism is winning in the fight against pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and superstition when embracing those ideas is still such a direct path to wealth and power. But we haven't lost yet, and every year we become better equipped by improving our own movement, making it hostile to right wing extremism and attracting new allies on the left. As long as lies still hold power, we'll be there to fight them.

quentin for the character thing?
• How I feel about this character: He’s just a silly guy teehee :) Also he dismantled a whole ass crime ring.
• All the people I ship romantically with this character: No one. He is in love with science and mysteries.
• My non-romantic OTP for this character: I think he is closest with Jenny because she is able to match his intelligence level.
• My unpopular opinion about this character: I am glad the fandom is basically nonexistent because I know people would mischaracterize him to hell and back.
• One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish he could meet Raven from the movie This Gun For Hire and that they could solve + commit crime together.
• my ОТР: None.
• my cross over ship: This Man Is AroAce.
• a headcanon fact: He has what I call ‘pipe bomb’ autism in which he is good at math and science and a strong distrust towards authority of any kind.
