sure

Sorry but I don't know if I can handle seeing posts of someone's grandma at her college graduation in the '90s. You should not be old enough to be on the internet if your grandparents were in the target demographic for the Gameboy on release.

I'm not really qualified to assess whether clinging sullenly to a child's book makes you a bad person, but I do think it makes you timid, incurious, and dull. It makes you someone who will sacrifice other people for a memory of comfort. It makes you untrustworthy and weak.

I finished this last night and it absolutely sticks the landing. If you’re on the fence (somehow) about it Magic can have a novel series again, this should convince you that it’s not only possible but imperative. I need a sequel or three ASAP. #vorthos #strixhaven

I just need to, once again, publicly thank @arsenaultrivera.bsky.social for feeding me so well this week.

The last two lines of today's story are a gift to me, specifically.

When I opened this and went to take a picture the cats came to me. It’s like they knew. @seananmcguire.bsky.social

One of my favorite things at the coffee shop is when there's a line of people for the single-occupancy bathroom and someone will see the line, walk past it, and then check to see if the bathroom is occupied. Like the people in the line are just there for fun, just chilling outside the bathroom.

I'm going to kick a hornets nest but the block structure, both three-set and two-set, were bad for Magic design and story and it's not even really a debate. It's demonstrably true. Returning to block structure is a desire to return to a time before 2016. There's better ways to do that.

this is who you're mad at when you're mad at me :(

hey this is good. magic writing can be good.

All things considered it was a pretty good move to buy an all electric vehicle in January.

Me avoiding social interactions.

anyone else remember the response to the Canto Bight scene in The Last Jedi

Imagine someone pointing out that what you just described is a "reverse domino theory" and you genuinely thinking that was intended to be some kind of affirmation that you aren't entirely insane. God, I love a Chotiner interview so much.

As always

This has been my experience when evaluating AI accessibility tools. You can create alt text for thousands of images or descriptions for hours of videos in a fraction of the time it would take to make them by hand, but fixing the mistakes is often more time consuming than writing them from the start.

I think engaging in discourse on a Posting site is inherently bad for you. There is no way to be normal about something when you have to derive your beliefs about it from 300 characters of text and can only express your thoughts in 300 character responses.

First as tragedy, then as farce, then again as farce, another time as tragedy, back to farce…

on a lark I started reading lord of the rings....so interesting to see all the characters from the books that never made it to the movies... where would Sam be if not for "the quick duck"....

It just feels insultingly useless right now to remind everyone that Democrats also supported and continue to support wars in the Middle East. It’s useless to say Democrats wouldn’t have done this. A hundred dead children and people think it’s worth their time to rehash 2016/2020/2024 over and over.

coolest guy at the coffee shop is the one building gunpla while every other table is people on dates or editing their podcasts (me)

Man I really do not care whose fault this all is or who’s to blame I just want it to fucking stop.

Games that are 10, 20, even 30 years old are still good games that look beautiful. The original FFVII still looks amazing. People were making beautiful art when their games could fit on a single CD-ROM, and they don't need any updates to be enjoyed.

Feeling more and more justified about my personal dislike of online class management systems. Not a dislike of distance learning or online classes in general, but an aversion to signing into a portal to take a quiz or do a discussion board. It's always felt robotic, and now it really is.

the old world is living. the new world has no problems being born. now is the time of regular guys

I think the answer is probably also Rise of Skywalker, but a close second is Multiverse of Madness wherein I walked out and decided to never see a Marvel movie again.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

Is this a safe space to share that I’ve been really drawn into watching videos of people playing Blood on the Clocktower recently?

One thing about depictions of disability in Sci-Fi, like the wheelchair user in the Star Trek show, that a lot of people seem to not understand is that, by and large, the disability accommodations we have available now *are* the best option. Wheelchairs and ramps work! They’re great!

The death of Scalia was the first time I truly understood the idea of “if you don’t want people to celebrate your death, live a better life.” So many people just finally gave up on being respectful towards someone who died after a long, disrespectful life.

Sci-fi that deals with questions of artificial consciousness is interesting because it's pushing us to think about what it means to be human. It functions as a metaphorical mirror. Being shocked by a computer programmed to play pretend reflects on us too, but not in a particularly flattering way

I know someone, somewhere, has done research or written about how subject matter experts will recognize when AI gets something wrong about their subject, but will often fail to recognize when it's wrong about other subjects. You know what I mean? I need to find something published about this.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

“before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” honestly why? I’m only going to need the one, for the guy I’m getting revenge on

I understand why people think that the NYT article about kicking caffeine is part of a larger fascist-linked movement for "pure" living, but as someone who has recently stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol for personal and health reasons, it feels weird seeing some of these arguments!

Just been angry all day because this morning I thought about how a CEO who gets paid $25 million a year, which doesn't even put them in the top 100 highest earning CEOs btw, could use one single day of their pay to wipe out all of my debts more than twice over.

Saw a video of a house where they left the taps on but didn’t have on the heat and the entire place was covered in a thick layer of ice. Really tragic until you read a little more and learn it was a rental unit where the owners evicted the tenants and didn’t put the power back in their name.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

In the discussion re: Epstein files on @trashfuture.bsky.social, they mentioned that Epstein et al were aware of how easy it was to make money during a collapse, and that's why everything feels like its collapsing all the time now. Thinking about that this morning.

Hey @stitcherssupply.bsky.social this playmat is gorgeous.

One week of owning an all electric vehicle and it has become my entire personality, replacing my “I have a Costco membership” personality I adopted last year around this time.

When it's hot outside it feels like it will never stop being hot, that every day will be unbearably hot and there will be no respite. When it's cold outside it feels like it will never stop being cold, that every day will be a frigid hell from which there is no escape. I understand the groundhog.

Pundits: “It is unfair to compare ICE to the Gestapo or call them Nazis.” Head of ICE: “And here are some more thoughts I have about Jews…”

As a 10+ year accessibility professional, I want to tell people to stop using so many pictures in their presentations. Stop using a bunch of b-roll footage in your videos. Everything you include in anything should be evaluated for purpose, and if you can't find a purpose, don't include it.

Rep. Buddy Carter, you don’t represent Atlanta and you do not speak for Atlanta. ICE is not welcome in the #FightingFifth and it shouldn’t be welcome any where in our country.
