There are important stories that are part of my personal canon & The Silt Verses @thesiltverses.bsky.social is one of those stories. So even though I haven't had a chance to listen to the new series (I've been going through some shit, okay) you should listen to it now & tell me how good it is.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. Anyone who has met me knows I was gonna post this... (Haven't watched it in a while... Should do that)

Dropped your phone? Died on your laptop? Cat peed on your external HDD? For this week’s @newyorker.com, I wrote about data loss, the data-recovery industry, and seeing our devices as memento mori www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Nothing makes you appreciate the inadequacy of language to encompass our human existence than writing. Or maybe that's just me and my synaesthesia & fucking ADHD problems.

Okay as much as I would love to get rhe official hoodie on the Bioware store right now... this is kinda funny. www.redbubble.com/i/hoodie/Dra...

Trump: I’m not happy with Australia. Australia:

I cannot pick one, sorry, it was a fucking banger year for movies and I had just started my film degree at uni. Okay fine... (See gif) [But also: - Whale Rider - Resident Evil - Beneath Clouds - Blade II - LOTR: Two Towers - Russian Ark - Reign of Fire - Lilo & Stitch]

Alien. Or the right age, idk, depends on your perspective. I think I would have avoided pregnancy anyway, regardless. Fuck that shit.

I am so fucking excited!!!!!

Blessed are the boogies to the boogie, for they must I bang bang. Blessed are the bang bang boogies, for they, I say, shall be up jumped. And lo shall we rock, and not stop.

heard about this thing where it’s a singles night but the hook is you bring a bestie who makes a PowerPoint presentation of why people should date you, it’s like the opposite of a roast

iykyk

I keep meaning to start King Sorrow and guess I'm gonna have to now...

@illconceivedpodcast.com : A visa tying someone to a single city? How barbaric! Meanwhile, in Australia: immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/gettin...

fucking sucks when your brian decides to get hooked on a silly (yet delightful) fandom AU idea right ehen you desperately need to focus on something important like getting a fucking job so you can pay your rent, you unemployed idiot.

true but also, man, I always feel bad for pigs as a species. such an intelligent animal, would never be a cop, etc. still, acab, including ice psychopaths, and that includes the Aussie ones (I have even met one in the past they are equally awful)

"live action of [insert animation] in the works--" please just fund animation instead of treating live action as the final pokemon evolution of a story

Next time you hear someone try to tell you that ADHD is a "superpower", ask them who buys replacements for all their broken crockery & lost cutlery. Who pays their late fees. Who pays their rent necause they can't hold down a fucking longterm job. Especially if they're unmedicated.

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky

If you're reading this and you're a fucking Vline train driver on the lines that go past MoPo...

you can talk about Nuremberg all you want, frankly I think we should save us all the time & money & just Mussolini the fuckers. I want to see their corpses hanging by their fucking feet in a New York service station, since "justice" moves too fucking slow for fascists these days.

do you think there’s a Taliban guy who actually loves his office job and now there’s war with Pakistan he’s like

The whole Trump administration is just rooting around in complicated systems - regional balances of power, state legitimacy, funding for global health - and ripping wires out, and they've frankly been lucky that they've ripped out so many wires without electrocuting themselves. Won't last forever.

Current men's haircut styles appear to come in two flavours: mullet or mushroom. I don't know which one I hate more.

Sometimes contemporary cinema is not cutting it and you need to watch a Kiwi physicist and his friends hang out in a spooky house in 1973 (The Legend of Hell House) and it opens with this hilarious card.

We Bury the Dead: *is set in Tasmania* Me: That's clearly filmed in a fucken suburb of Perth, my guys. (imagine a film being set in New York and someone filming it in idk, suburban Arizona with no attempt to make sets, dress them, etc)

I am rly enjoying reading it, but To Walk The Night (1937) by William Sloan is basically "two men meet a woman with ASD, one falls in love with her & the other doesnt". How very dare she not perform her gender correctly/neurotypically/to ecpnomic class standards!!!!

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

I am just posting to say I aten't ded, more for my own benefit though. I am very very sore for all the wrong reasons, though. Looking forward to being 80% arthritis in 15 years I guess.

why are you making Predictions. have you been alive lately

it really annoys me that no one ever parks their cars properly in the original Ring movies. srsly if I lived in the apartment block that Reiko Asakawa is in I would murder all these arseholes myself, Sadako can get the fuck in line.

I'm sure someone's already done this but; watching Frankenstein (2025) be like (vt.tiktok.com/ZSf47s7D6/)

finally got around to watching Sinners and while I am now real sad I didn't get to see it in cinemas, it's still a fucking masterpiece. holy shit.

I can't believe it's been 10 years since Pam.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

11th of November, fuckos. Important date, we must show our reverence and respect... For the 50th anniversary of the dismissal of the Whitlam Government and the 1975 Constitutional Crisis of Australia.

we all know the old joke about how if most blokes got their periods, tampons/pads would be called ULTIMATE SUPER SOAKER 9000 etc right? well that's now happened with vacuum cleaners, since now they are all literally called shit like ULTIMATE POWER ADVANCED SUCK 9000 etc. so men must be using them.

thinking about heeem!!!!!! go see Good Boy!!!!!

I deslike the way some US trgions use 'drug' as the past-tense of 'drag' instead of 'dragged'. I'm usually pretty cool with Americanizations of English, but this one, for some reason, is my hill to die on. Or maybe it's just because my neck pain is really bad today, who can say. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for real tho, how do you tell Amazon there's a spelling error in a part of their user settings on their website? (when you go to devices & content > content > Docs > filter settings. not present on other types of content views, just the Docs)

that is some Nice Art (finally, some good fucking food, etc)

One of the things I always find telling is the idea that we have to judge past people by the standards of their time, as if the fact that they did bad things means that everyone thought it was okay. They didn't. Pretty much every obviously evil act had people saying that it was, in fact, bad.

my hot take is some of y'all need to stop only reading comics. read prose, go to a museum, learn scrimshaw, wtfever. go be an interesting person first because i can TELL when people don't ingest anythiinnggg else but comics

It includes customers appealing an incorrect age verification, if you're wondering.

Today: sfx lettering and cover design with constant feedback from my supervising editor

If you wanna see something good that doesn't waste a single minute of its 2 hour and 14 minute runtime, go watch Exhuma. Fucking banger of a movie, I've thought about it every day since I watched it.
