What quote from a movie can you hear perfectly inside your head?

Listen. I got Wordle on the second try, Purple Connections first, and used no hints for Strands PLUS I finished writing a an entire fucking book that I only started two months ago. Somebody give me a lottery ticket STAT

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, Zardoz, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

My sex robot story is free to read at Adventitious! Stoked to be part of the monstrous (complimentary) Issue 2 with my anti-ode to the dehumanization of modern dating by way of a pleasure bot who's *too* entitled to his owner's data.

So excited for this!

It's the best time to be writing a book that takes place on the moon. Good job, me.

"They took the books I wrote about love to create chatbots that isolate people and prevent them from finding human love in the real world, that make it difficult for them to even stand real love, which is not always agreeable, not always positive, not always focused on end-user engagement."

Read this read this reeeeeaaadddd this

I've heard whispers from a couple of people in publishing that space opera may be poised for a big comeback. If that's true, I'm ya boy!

Also, being with creative partners means you have a choice, their work or yours. Being a muse or even just pouring into another person is draining (and usually unacknowledged, hidden, and invisible) and it means my own work falls to the wayside, if even written at all.

High time @mollytempleton.com won a Hugo for her phenomenal work.

"Why send a schoolteacher to space?" @leahschnelbach.bsky.social on how Project Hail Mary answers the question: #ProjectHailMary

The look on my poor baby Godzilla’s harried grandpa face is killing me. “REALLY? You FUCKIN KIDS GET OFF MY OCEAN.”

Is Outlander's theme song the platonic ideal of a TV opener? @zutsuit.bsky.social walks us through a history of "The Skye Boat Song," including how it's shifted to reflect Jamie and Claire's journeys: #Outlander

Gen AI use is so bad fellow profs and I joke we need typewriter labs instead of computer labs. Pens, pencils, paper, and typewriters. Analog education so they stop outsourcing their thinking.

Have teens, can confirm. They want to carry them around. Mine want something other than their phones to look at when taking the bus or the train.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Abolish

If you read nothing else today, read this. "We are not alone."

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.
