There is no McTry.

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

Beyond the obvious fact that NOBODY should be in this position, Paul is a really good human.

It's kinda funny that the savvy legacy media journalists thought there were no Epstein files and everything of importance had come out.

I think if you're a Transformers fan and you're angry at the DWJ sketch of Optimus defending innocent people from ICE then you're not actually a Transformers fan and you're a bootlicking dipshit.

timeline cleanse of utmost dignity

that's so crazy. i'm sure you put him in prison and banned him from ever holding office again right

All my favorite things, probably. I dunno, grapes?

It is 2003. I am in college. There is a Republican cheater in office starting a dumb war nobody wants. It is 2026. My daughter is in college. There is a Republican cheater in office starting a dumb war nobody wants.

Pete Buttigieg: “It’s an old & obvious pattern. An unpopular president — failing on the economy & losing his grip on power at home — decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one”

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

So true

Merrick Garland is the person whose literal job was to prevent all of this. All he had to do was rule that water was wet and treason was treason.

Lmaooo win win

I feel duty bound to campaign for this one

I feel like a crazy ranting uncle, but again, there are genuine statisticians who have done genuine work with the US 2024 election and found some alarming results. You can still ask for a state audit. electiontruthalliance.org

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

As a confirmed romantasic, I hold this series in only the highest regards.

No you can't. Telling a computer to paint something for you is not remotely the same as painting something yourself, what is wrong with these people

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films. What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

It was the glow of a light It was the heart of a song It was the tear of a child, Where they never belonged It was the wish of a soul On an old neon light And the Lord smiled at him On that cold winter night The gift that the Angel brought for his Lord was The Transformers: The Movie (1986)

If some guy stole my shit and made millions off it while wiping out my job prospects, and you, as my friend, bought that guy's cheap mass market replica of my shit, you and i would for obvious reasons have a problem. It being a massive company, not a guy, actually makes it even more of a problem.

nominations for the Nebula Award and the BSFA are happening now, so please allow me this repost. it will be reposted again. as is the nature of the thing.

Fear not radical crackpots! You CAN still buy the anthology YOU MAY NOW FAIL TO DESTROY ME, which includes my story "Emergency Contact", for a few more weeks before it returns to the internet from whence it came! Available exclusively at: failtodestroy.me

It's a Sisyphean experience to re-read The Lord of the Rings and try NOT to picture the films.

Is one of the qualifications "design plastic that won't easily shatter?" Cuz it should be

Following @michaelhobbes.bsky.social here will basically give you a PhD in the media bullshit industrial complex

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Confused about whether to read TO SHAPE A DRAGON'S BREATH by Moniquill Blackgoose or BREATH OF THE DRAGON by Shannon Lee & @fondalee.bsky.social ? Good news! You can just read both because they're effing fantastic!

If only Gorsuch had that realization roughly about the time he thought presidents should have immunity from everything. #SheShed

“No hell is hot enough or eternal enough for Dick Cheney.” 🤌🤌🤌

It saddens me that some of my colleagues decided to let their work be fed into the Content Regurgitation Machine. GenAI is neither inevitable nor unstoppable. You have more power than you think. GenAI cannot exist without us, without human creativity and labor. We can starve it.
