i really love that my current gp's approach to specialist referrals is basically "this could take a few months to pan out, so let's refer you immediately and if we manage to fix it ourselves you can just cancel the appointment"

topic is: directors who made one really good thing, mostly by accident, and erroneously convinced everyone they were actually good at directing - russo bros (the winter soldier) - craig mazin (chernobyl) who else are you putting on this list

we all know I have no life, so:

in case you think I'm making things up: this happens about once every 2 weeks

one of the worst fates that can befall the discussion around a character is a situation where straight men make trap jokes over her 24/7 and queer people insist she is nothing more than gnc male and that reading her as trans is regressive

Can we talk about how harassment and borderline stalking of trans women by gender critical activists has become entirely normalised? Why can’t a trans woman do a bloody Parkrun without having her privacy violated and her data amassed on a website?!

rolling my eyes out of my skull and clicking away from a video for calling real-life age gaps above a certain number "inherently predatory" and the number is, as always, not even as big as the age gap between me and my actual wife

F*ck around and find out. See you tomorrow, Beautiful Unwell. #TheVampireLestat

President urges Iran to start peace negotiations by releasing non-existent, AI-generated women some rando posted about on X

it FEELS like i have a sunburn or really bad carpet burn or something, so even though i know it won't help, i keep wanting to ice it! and every time i say out loud "i know this won't help" and then a little bit later nell is like "did it help" and i have to be like "NO :("

This is why @naomikritzer.bsky.social's The Year Without Sunshine is one of my favorite disaster stories: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

I can’t stand the english voice acting in so many games and it’s almost entirely because women actors get directed to do falsetto baby voice all the time I’ve seen videos of these people when they’re not doing a voice! they sound normal! why are they not allowed to use their normal voice in VA???

i am on day, like, 10 or something of nerve pain and i'm ready to chop my arm off

"Don't ship unless it's canon" you are truly are the weakest link. Back in my day we shipped characters that never laid eyes on each other. We shipped characters that didn't even belong in the same universe or franchise. Canon is a chain we threw off long ago

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

This discourse rolls around every six months and I'm always happy to chime in: ELEMENTARY is a great TV show qua TV show and best modern interpretation of Holmes, including that one you're thinking of, which was more of one dude's intermittent hobby, which also somehow turned into CRIME DR. WHO.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts. A trans woman enters the room. Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts. Fucking clowns.

it's good to be able to examine why you feel a certain way, but when the way you feel is "apocalyptically depressed" and the solution is actually "a ton of medication" but the only way you've been taught to address it is CBT, you can get really fucked up really fast.

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

just showed nell a clip compilation from the iconic 2008 videogame army of two (huge part of my childhood) and honestly..... there was some sauce there

honestly, surprised hes still a son

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

I think about this all the time

Every superhero is a metaphor that fights other metaphors of the same clade The Flash is a physics, who fights other physics (mirrors, aerodynamics, cold). Superman is a god, who fights other gods. That’s so good, but Batman is a fear who fights other fears. That’s always the easiest match to sell.

going to a rationalist and being like listen buddy i heard about this scary new idea. its called $70’s basilisk. what if there was an entity that, when it came into being, eternally tortured everyone who didn’t give me $70? it’s a simple exercise of pascals wager white boy

watching monarch ep8 and wailing PLEASE STOP FIGHTINGGG at the show where the appeal is the monsters fighting each other

(Monarch S2E8 spoilers, not actually a graphic image) Bold choice of song for this scene I gotta admit

mannn the last three episodes of the pitt felt like such a freaking endurance test. my hope for next season is that we get some nice non-emotionally-taxing drama, you know, like a mass shooting

what is the charge. what crime has been done

sometimes you get transvestigated(??) at work but it's by a cis guy who's supposedly married to a trans guy and who thinks he's being really cute and funny about it

if you go to another country for this, they should be allowed to hunt you for sport

when isaac writes, with a nuance and respect I rarely ever see others write with when it comes to the transmasculine experience, i feel both hope and less alone

My additions to this: The Doom Generation, Near Dark, Natural Born Killers.

just spent ~an hour sorting and sleeving the pkmn cards i chose from nell's bulk collection to put away. truly the most brain-go-brr aspect of card collecting for me is deciding how i want to sort my binders and slowly watching them fill up!

I wanted to try something, not sure how well it'd go. For friends and mutuals giving me their art requests for fun. It'd make for good warmup and practice, but it's really down to if people actually want to see it anyway.

It’s flat fudge friday! 🐊
