*sigh* People that know nothing about criminal justice reform, police, or Black people, just on here declaring as fact things that are absolutely not true. There is no harm that ICE is doing that is not currently being done by cops at between 10X to 100x the scale. Shootings. False detention.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center: If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

What a gorgeous bird! Looks like what an artist might design as an owl for Star Wars.

I'm trying so hard to immerse myself in this symphony's first movement, but in my head Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd keep throwing themselves about dramatically against a winter forest backdrop.

Why did you all keep from me that Rachel McAdams is a Canadian?

I had the opportunity to rise during Senate Question Period this week, to ask about the Canadian government's continued commitment to using X for official communications - and about their failure to use sites such as Bluesky and Mastodon. What do you think? #cdnpoli #Canada #Grok #X #Bluesky

Did you eat? Take your meds? Drink water? Give yourself some grace?

True story I saw Ready Player One in one of those D-BOX theaters where the seats move and shit, and during a fight scene my seat punched me in the back but the arm in there got stuck and I had to watch like an hour of the movie with my seat prodding me in the back

Everyone’s talking about Swarovski right now so let’s take a second and dive into the fact that they were NAZI Nazis. Like full-on Seig Heil, prosecuted after the war level Nazis and the modern company has done everything they can to hide all their archives and prevent anyone accessing them.
