Playing Fallout 3 and Moira Brown’s “Live and let live” about an unexploded (as of yet) atomic bomb is fully believable

I recently went to a neurologist and the first thing he said to me was "You don't use AI do you? Good. These studies just keep coming in about how they're destroying cognitive ability and brain function. Anyway, what are you here for today?" Can we please stop defending this stuff?

why can't ANYONE EVER just ASK what we'd find helpful? ANYONE? AT ALL? EVER? just OFFER to do something & ASK what we'd prefer?

Not sure it’s possible to make a grocery trip without spending some time dissociating in the aisles

getting to watch the country i live in rot in the sun in real time while simultaneously being told i have to continue on like im not literally seeing it happen has me feeling some sort of way

This whole section really.

Owlbear in a tree. Based on a photo of a panda I found and liked, but only after getting underlines down and inking the trees, tail, and left hindleg, did I realise that actually I had a lot of trouble parsing what was going on with the other three legs-especially front right -3191 🎨 #art #ttrpg

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

It's been awhile since Bluesky was consumed by buttholes. Which is honestly a funny ass sentence to type.

Does anyone care is almost never the right question. People care. The issue is that people don't know what to do.

Everyone should listen to the latest episode of Sawbones I’m serious podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

If you’re lamenting the EA sale cause of what it means for BioWare games, try out this RPG from some BioWare veterans! Punches WAY above its weight and has fantastic combat/traversal.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

literally every time I talk to friends

I’m a draft dodger, but only because I get cold really easily.

the world has become a place to indulge that sense. everyone is a hoarder, emotionally. we’re more minimalist than ever but we can’t delete the voicemails of the dead off our phones, even if we can’t bear to listen. like we’re pressing our ear against a door, knowing they’re not on the other side.

there used to be no way to go back. love and grief are so acquisitive, they want to collect a big ol’ katamari of dead things, like at a point of critical mass you can make those dead things alive. when you lose someone you want to keep everything that tethered them here.

is there a word for things like chapstick and glasses cleaning cloth that jump unpredictably between "how is it possible I have none of these I can find" and "why are there four of these on my desk and two in my pockets/bags right now"

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

We should give all animals access to high-strength building materials. See where they go with it

trans people are at heightened risk of suicidality compared to the average reader of a news article even before they’ve hit click nuance about these lives and the care really matters here (then again does someone really care about trans readers if they’re still on Substack?)

virtually attending a workshop tonight and instructor mentioned using chatGPT to search for something if google isn't helping and i do not care that i am insufferable anymore i have simply accepted i am the insufferable guy everyone knows when it comes to this shit

Hahaha what a tool

so they're gonna tell us when it's safe for us queers to apply for passports again, right? can somebody just let me know? when I can apply for a passport? (and end up with a passport rather than on a list)

You cannot kill me in a way that matters.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Guess the metanarrative of a dysfunctional AAA studio hits too close to home these days

kinda keep continually getting hyped about things Im excited to do in the future and then spend two seconds on social media and my brain switches to wow I sure hope there is a future

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS
