This place is like someone said to themselves "What if we decorated in the theme of 'Why the French started chopping rich peoples' heads off back in the day'"

In case you wondered what that weird blur of movement was, it was the SFWA announcing works produced with partial use of AI could be nominated for the Nebulas, getting shat on vigorously by writers large and small, and about-facing at roughly the speed of light.

Goddamn Steve

Puttering along at work, and my laptop freaks out. Windows flicker, black screens, everything goes nuts. I immediately shut everything down and reboot. “System updates in progress, please wait…” You know, normal programs just SAY they need a reboot, they don’t stage the electronic apocalypse!

The Raccoons remains a beloved Canadian television show 40 years after it debuted. But the story of The Evergreen Forest and its inhabitants all began with a Christmas Special that aired in 1980. This is the story of The Christmas Raccoons. 🧵 1/12

Wag that dog, orange man

Just so we're blaringly clear - Fuck AI. Fuck having to second guess the art you see and want to enjoy, fuck the insidious way they're attempting to normalize it, fuck the way it feels like it has crept into every facet of existence, fuck the theft, the deceit and the problems it causes.

Little fanart for the adorable French Christmas video „Unloved" by Intermarché. Thank you for celebrating good food and creative artwork by real artists (not Al)! Also wolf love! ❤️ #intermarche #christmas #noai #wolf #christmasvideo

The clown car's wheels are falling off. Hopefully that means we don't wind up with an official fourth party, I'm tired of listening to these assclowns in Question Period.

hold on to your loved ones <3 #ninetales #vulpix

Going to start slowly sharing the art I did for MFF! This was the art for the schedule card that came with the lanyards! I was excited to be able to do a piece featuring Febz!

why contain evil when you can contain treats

I tell you what, it has been a *day*

Flood Watch for Fraser Valley: Chilliwack, Hope, Abbotsford, Manning Park and rivers (Coquihalla, Skagit, Sumas, Chilliwack). Rivers rising—flooding possible. Stay away from fast water, clear drains, prep for low-lying flooding. Updates: EmergencyInfoBC.gov.bc.ca

Hey Fraser Valley folks, keep an eye on the local news for the next little while, this storm we’re about to get isn’t messing around. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

While peanut-brained brands like CocaCola and McDonalds are shitting on their own bed with AI slop, we still get beautiful ads like this made by real people.

“Two platforms and I’m on the wrong bloody one, what a night”

This weekend I took the most #London photo ever. Fox waiting for the last train.

Been binging a British trivia game show, Tipping Point, lately. Watching an early episode and the winner, who is a dead ringer for Shaggy complete with the scruffy beard and green shirt, just said he was a standby for filming and had been out clubbing late the night before. Love it.

*sits down, opens up story in progress* *dog immediately asks for an early walkies, kid requires management* *45 minutes later, sit back down, stare at open document, shrug, open Minecraft*

Time for another seasonal fox painting! Started this in September on the iPad (Artstudio Pro), finished when we got the first snow of this winter a few weeks ago.

Yes, many of us have listened to old radio SF too, techboy tangentonline.com/oldtimeradio...

Last repost: “professionally incapacitated” sounds like what happens when you pay certain people with a predilection for leather clothing to show off certain skills with ropes and knots

The BC Conservative Party just announced they have removed John Rustad as their party leader. Comes hours after Rustad said he was staying on despite 20 MLAs calling for his removal, arguing there was no mechanism for the party to turf him as leader after winning his leadership review.

Rereading the Watch books from Discworld and remembering why they should be even more widely read…

Good morning! Need something as good as coffee? How about Drive-By Truckers and Jason Isbell tearing up The Late Show last night? youtu.be/Z7n3s5_M570

So I watched this in the Leg earlier today, and interestingly enough the bill was accepted for first reading unlike the others that the clown shoes brigade has been introducing. I have a theory as to why.

Reminder that Fortnite has been doing a whole shitload of terrible things lately, and there are way better games you could be playing.

Okay yeah Zootopia 2 is really, really good. The writing is crisp, and I really like the character interactions all the way around. Really happy with this one.

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Stop being constantly nervous about how much money I’m able to put aside for emergencies and special costs. And maybe renovate the bathrooms.

Introduce yourself with five animals you’ve seen in the wild: Moose Weasel Black bear Porcupine Coyote (All within about 100 feet, and in the case of the moose, at speed)

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've been to: Great Big Sea Anberlin Blue Rodeo Barenaked Ladies Jason Isbell

“So we got this request. We think it’s pointless and not worth anyone’s time, so-“ “Let’s do it!” “… you said what now?”

nose down ass up that's the way we cyberstuck

Hurricane Melissa, Oct. 2025. Breaking through the eyewall of one of the strongest Category 5 storms in history. 250+ mph winds, extreme turbulence, and dangerous g-forces — but this is the moment we’ve trained for. 🎨: @zorrito.bsky.social

Meanwhile in an alternate universe…. 😳😳😳😳

D&D today: - see robotic creature wander past, rogue opines that maybe we should befriend one and put weapons on it* Me: “They’re sentient creatures! That’d be like mounting Hellfires on a cat!” DM: “Yeah but that’d be awesome.” Me: “Actually, it is, now I think about it..,”

Robert Plant is doing pretty okay in his ... what, third or fourth reinvention of his career? youtu.be/gHL5ApOqMQc

Looking at the whole Mamdani-Trump thing today I have to wonder who put the wrong program into the life model decoy. They obviously got the “shmoozing suckup” module instead of the usual busted-ass one

So they’ve actually taken the real files to the Mar-A-Lago bathroom and replaced them with 12 pages with the names of leading Democrats scrawled in Sharpie over and over, yeah?

It is a true shame that I can’t add a rule in my work Outlook that filters emails from certain regular emailers into a box labeled “shoot into the sun”
