Yesterday, a massive sunspot spanning 200,000 kilometers containing as many as 12 dark cores was reported on the Sun. As per information from the NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO), there was a high chance that it could explode at any moment, and that is exactly what happened just an hour ago. An M-class solar flare was seen erupting on the sunspot, whose extreme ultraviolet radiation sparked a short-wave radio blackout on the Earth. While NASA has not been able to confirm the presence of any Earth-bound coronal mass ejection (CME), this information should be revealed in a few hours' time.
I watched the forbidden episode of Bluey that Disney refuses to stream
05.11.2023 - 15:07 / polygon.com
Let’s start out by establishing the facts, because this is important. Fact one: Bluey, the Australian animated TV show for preschoolers about a playful family of dogs, is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. (Yes, this is a fact, not an opinion.) Its seven-minute episodes are funnier, more layered, more substantial, and sometimes even more moving than most hour-long adult dramas. There’s one called “Flat Pack” that deals with Darwinian evolution, human progress, religion and the afterlife, marital relationships, the sweet pain of letting go, and assembling Ikea furniture — and it does all that in a way that’s sweet, hilarious, and accessible to people who haven’t learned how to talk yet. In seven minutes. That’s how good it is.
Fact two: Disney owns the worldwide streaming rights to Bluey, but it’s a co-production between Australia’s ABC and the U.K.’s BBC networks, and it airs in various places internationally. This fact is boring, but it’s relevant.
Fact three: There are 140 episodes of Bluey available to view on Disney Plus. But 141 episodes of Bluey have been made. There is an episode of Bluey that Disney does not want you to see. It has been censored, suppressed. This episode is called “Dad Baby.”
OK, I’m being somewhat dramatic here. “Dad Baby” is not actually that hard to see. Bluey’s distributor, BBC Studios, has approved it for release, it’s been aired on broadcast channels in Australia and the U.K., it’s included as an extra in DVD box sets, and you can buy it on iTunes. You can even view a clip from “Dad Baby” on the official Bluey YouTube channel. Or you can probably find it in segments on TikTok if you want.
Still, as the principal global home of Bluey, Disney Plus’ attempt to scrub “Dad Baby” from the record is notable — and quite successful. So much so that its existence was only recently discovered in this household, where it caused quite a stir. What transgression could have spurred this prudish corporation to censor an episode of one of the greatest shows on its servers?
We can only guess — Disney has never explained its decision, and is never likely to. But guessing is not that hard. “Dad Baby” is about pregnancy and childbirth. Like many episodes of Bluey, the subject plays out in the form of an imaginative game that Bluey (a 6-year-old blue heeler pup) plays with her sister Bingo (4) and her parents, in this case her cheeky dad, Bandit.
In the episode, Bingo finds an old baby carrier, and when Bandit puts it on to demonstrate it, Bingo jumps inside. Time, Bluey decides, for a game of Dad Baby. Bandit makes pregnancy jokes while discovering how hard it is to lug another small creature around on your midriff; things really heat up when Bingo pops her head out between his legs.

Bluey: The Videogame Review
The very same weekend we received Bluey: The Videogame, Australia’s ABC broadcasted a countdown of the top 100 Bluey episodes, as voted by the public. Tuning in for the final 20-or-so, it was the perfect opportunity to catch up with any of the very best ones I’d managed to miss over the years ahead of this review. One of those was Onesies, and I was floored when the theme was revealed. Seriously, the ability of this children’s show to tackle a concept as complex as infertility for an audience of any age, and with such an expert balance of levity and empathy, is nothing short of remarkable. There is so much to this show beneath the surface. I do wish I could say the same about Bluey: The Videogame – that it, too, is quite remarkable in its own way. Unfortunately, it is not. It may look like a spot-on recreation of Bluey’s gorgeous and distinct 2D animation, but beneath the surface there isn’t much more than an hour or so of mild multiplayer fun and moderate frustration.

The Bluey game lets kids down — and everyone else
Remember when licensed games were uniformly terrible? Buying a video game based on a beloved movie or character would, more often than not, be rewarded by the crushing disappointment of a poorly engineered, hastily slapped-together cash-in. Eventually, licensors like Disney got wise to the reputation damage, and gave talented studios the time and freedom to make spinoff games their own way — even Spider-Man and Star Wars games are good now.
