Gail Simone is the personification of chaotic good.

I am feeling let down by the absence of plans that I failed to make. It is absolutely something I could have prevented! But instead I am being a giant baby!

Music criticism 101

Every article about the hantavirus outbreak: 2nd para: hantavirus is almost never spread person-to-person, except for one rare variant 8th para (if at all): btw, the variant on the cruise ship seems to be that one rare variant

Ordered 5 Guys for dinner, which always makes me think of this interview: www.instagram.com/reel/DTv5yxE...

One dilemma for proponents of AI is they have to simultaneously 1) sell it to employers as a replacement for human workers and 2) reassure everyone else that it’s not going to take their job.

After we figure out the logistics this is an amazing idea

So many of these are so good

Deleted and reposted bc I am old and bad at internetting

The coolest thing about this is when you realize this means your scars are not mementos left after a wound heals. They are ongoing processes to hold your body together (that need collagen to keep doing that). The wound isn't fixed, your body is just coping with it.

I know this is a joke, but for real I loved that book and I was SO PISSED at the ending of the movie. Magical swords, wtf?

BATTLE AWAITS. HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

A woman on this bus is carrying a couple dozen hula hoops in various colors

They need to make at least one more 007 film so Raye can record the theme song.

My daughters recognize the song but LOTR means nothing to them; my ex gets the LOTR part but doesn’t know the song: www.instagram.com/reel/DXeLHh6...

Mags Bennett, but orcas

I just realized that next year the Ray Wars will have gone on as long as the Thirty Years’ War I’m going to lie down now

Good morning and remember that Lee Marvin is in Heaven judging you. All that stupid shit you do? Knock it off or do it bigger, louder, and weirder.

We’ve experienced this clinic firsthand - they train the teachers on actual kids, and it made a huge difference for one of mine

I love this account

Love that Corgi 🤣🐶

The ratio of bad things to good things in my life has just been way too high lately. The good things have only been a little less abundant, but the bad things have rushed in and more than filled the gap.

Apollo 11 mission, 1969: (Actual audio: www.sciencefriday.com/articles/the...)

ok so the box labeled 'improv' has improv in it, that makes sense. the box labeled 'ttrpg' has... improv in it. ok. sure. why not. but the box labeled 'kink' must have..! also improv. fuck. one of these must have something else in it. hand me the box labeled 'polyamory.'

unpopular opinion: “A whole nother” is a perfectly good expression. “Whole” is an infix, inserted into “another” to intensify it, the same way “fucking” works in “un-fucking-believable.” It’s not just another thing, it’s a whole nother thing.

Overheard at the local hardware store: “I need help finding a screw of a certain size.”

Something I didn’t really get until I played Roblox with my kids: people want to back a winner so much, they will back something they don’t even want. Like if players are voting on a map, and the votes are split 5-3, everyone voting for 3 will switch their vote to the more popular option

I'll never not reshare this

I was in grad school with this guy! (We weren’t close and did not keep in touch, but still, this is nice to see)

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

there’s a race to make AI “too big to fail” before it fails

Def with the record, def with the record …

shakira kurosawa would be a great drag name

This is your reminder that if you are a class member and have NOT yet filed a claim in Anthropic v. Bartz, the AI copyright lawsuit, you have 9 days to do so.

Nancy Drew, The Hidden Staircase; Janet Dailey, Enemy in Camp; Dorothy Sayers, Gaudy Night; Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness; Dick Francis, Comeback; Samuel Delany, Times Square Red, Times Square Blue; Elizabeth Moon, Herris Serrano (So many more I could have listed … never mind the fanfic)

Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether I like Bucky so much bc I’m attracted to him or bc I identify with how socially awkward fanfic depicts him to be

If no one is reporting, where will the content come from to aggregate? If all the LLMs are just pulling from each other’s bad writing, there is no there there, it’s just a circlejerk of gibberish.

Been thinking about this all afternoon

I love that Mamdani delivered a fun, happy video about blizzard prep and then dove into Irish history and solidarity for a traditionally beer-soaked holiday

V2 is not a morning person, but she loves dogs, so I made her watch this, and she actually laughed. Then she said, “that’s the only actually funny thing you’ve ever showed me.”

This is the way the world ends/not with a bang but a whimper

Idk what it says about me that when I see “BOFA,” no matter the context, I never think “Bank of America” and always think “bofa deez nuts”

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

This is an excellent rule for storytelling but also implies that Philip Pullman witnessed the death of God as a boy.

You’re welcome. Happy day! 😆
