Waiting for @junodawson.bsky.social at @favlit.org and tickled at the impromptu singalong in the audience of Hole's "Celebrity Skin"

The sheer brass neck of declaring a 'National Year of Reading' while selling out authors to AI companies and giving independent bookshops a good kicking

I wish they'd used her photo instead of the cartoon as the pull image, for precisely this reason

Thanks everybody great posts today. We did some posts and a bunch of people read em and that’s a job well done. That’s the real shit. That’s what we wake up for every day. Nobody gives a shit about a post until they do. Lotta things are like that. Good posting everybody. Got those posts out there

Thank you for the shortbread. I haven't tried it yet but was pleased to see the use by date of February '95.

A thing of absolute beauty

You should not be working on the railroad all the live-long day, nor should you be working on the railroad just to pass the time away. You should be working on the railroad for the duration of a reasonable shift, for fair wages.

PUT IT BACK, YOU FOOLS

Do it for the freaks and the weirdos

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

The ceffyl dŵr is a Welsh fairy horse that inhabits mountain pools and waterfalls. In south Wales, it is often benevolent. However, in north Wales, this horse likes to get someone to ride it, fly into the air, and then become mist, so that the rider falls to their death. #FolkloreThursday

Oh my god 😂

That final line 💀

One week until SBLM’s revised publication date! It would mean the world if you were to preorder a copy, or to reserve one at your local library 🩵🤖

a technology we can all be excited about

Something something give a man a fish. “Teach a man to fish” means going down to the shelter to get your own unique Fishtopher variant edition I guess.

My adolescence can be precisely described by the fact that I learned to touch-type by hanging out in a busy X-Files chat room on CompuServe where I had to break typing speed records to get my deep and insightful comments in before the conversation moved on

This is your weekly reminder to let these people into your heart and life ❤️

Happy 12-year anniversary to my favourite broadcast subtitle mistake And a happy year of the whores to you all

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Libraries. Books. Why you should join a union.

I HAVE MISSED THEM SO MUCH

Every time someone brings up the environmental and ethical concerns with AI in the comments he replies that this article isn’t about that and…yeah that’s…that’s why they’re bringing it up. Because it’s actually a very important issue with AI and one of the main reasons “the left” isn’t into it

what is meaningful? what is a meaningful life? and how do we build the structures and cultures and communities we need to actually support that, so we can live one? rather than a suffocating, potentially toxic and violent (Sparta! Athens! eugenics!) nostalgic pillow fort/emotional support blankie
