three of the five of these were in my "I want to rant about this to everyone I meet" category last year, which means I should read the other two at once, clearly

My novel DEATH OF THE AUTHOR is a finalist for an LA Times Book Prize (Science Fiction, Fantasy & Speculative Fiction). I’m in powerful company! Honored. 🥹 Thrilled. 💃🏿 Slightly levitating. 🤖

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

You know how anthropologists love finding interred skeletons with bones that have been broken and safely set, lbecause it shows that real humanity happened there? Old literature is like that too, if you read it.

If you don't read old stuff you miss out on one of the funniest scenes in a story I've ever read (Genji Monogatari-- Genji and To no Chujo are stupid teens together). You miss out on the poem about a knight kicking a dragon in the asshole until it shits itself to death.

cries bc both the dentist and doctor were good experiences and now I feel more motivated to keep on top of my health (my pcp had been changed on me three times in five years pre-pandemic so I just gave up on building a relationship but this woman got assigned to me in 2021 and is still there so myb

We'll tackle this issue again in 80-90 years.

You may be tempted to roll your eyes and say that this was obvious, but there is a substantive difference between pointing out there is a slippery slope and having solid evidence that Ring's CEO is planning to expand Search Party beyond lost pets. Kudos to 404 Media.

I'm wfh today bc my manager has the flu, it hailed the second I was going to leave, and I would've had to leave learly for an appointment anyway So Leilani has basically glued herself to me since I got back from katsu and has followed me absolutely everywhere

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Songs people should not be allowed to competitively skate to at the national or international level ever again: Scheherazade, Bolero, Carmen, Firebird, Turandot, Phantom of the Opera, anything by Coldplay

Chatgpt! Is! Not! Confidential! Do! Not! Do! This! For! Fuck's! Sake!

Just a reminder that ChatGPT cannot betray anyone because it doesn’t have feelings or motives or thoughts

I'M BEING AN ADULT I booked a new dentist and new pcp appointment bc I've been leaving it for so long bc I hate having to go through the intake procedures and figure out if a provider will work for me

holy shit. hell of an analysis

Reminder that pretty much every author you know has (verifiably!) had their work stolen to train on. I don't write like AI, AI fucking tries to write like me.

just used chatgpt to tell me how to circumvent claude's programming so i could use claude to tell me how to hack into grok which i then used to find everyone's credit card details on twitter which i will now collectively use to buy a home

GESTURES AT THE WORLD NONE, NONE OF THE TIME

I keep thinking that someday I will become used to the hideousness of cybertrucks and they will finally blend into the background and every time I see one I am struck anew by how awful they are

I've kidnapped a baby

@wrongplay.vip @ashfr.bsky.social representing at katsucon

Someone in the elevator: omg the first ushijima fan I've seen in the wild Me: yes it is me I'm the person who buys his merch this is not even my final form

Slap dashing a summer maru wig into tachyon and making a clip out of my face wash, go

also I cannot watch with the commentary because the one time this year, someone walked the duck, and johnny weir went “that’s a drag move, the bouncy bounce” and I just yelled

I love commentating on olympics events that are set to music because INVARIABLY I get to yell I SEE YOU YOU FUCKING WEEB This has been going on as far back as the 2008 olympics I caught a floor routine to a tsubasa reservoir chronicle bgm

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Emails are going out to eligible nominators (those who became a member of LAcon V by January 31, 2026, or were a member of the Seattle Worldcon 2025) about how to set up their LAcon V virtual convention account.

I'm so out of it and the world's so on fire that I was like yeah sure upgrade my flight tomorrow to first class what do I care

Work sharing ai articles and talking about it so much

I found out that alysa liu is local because of an ad she's in that is filmed at my rink like I glanced up and was WAIT A SECOND I KNOW THAT ICE

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

VLC Media Player is like the coelacanth of computer programs it does one thing exceptionally well, it's free, and so everyone just accepts that it's the best in 99% of cases

they pissed off the WeRateDogs guy enough from him to break character to directly tell them off, that's genuinely impressive levels of being an asshole

Hey y'all. A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews. Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

If you're a book creator and people in your life don't understand why book bans are such a sore point for you then by god show them this film. It really gets people fired up.

Yes, we talked to a geologist who curls about the very special geology of curling's stones, please enjoy

AOL could come in with a steel chair right now and relaunch AIM

I think it's so important to acknowledge the impact that art and media has had on your life - you don't need to pull the "it was always trash and I now have to say it was always trash and hide I ever liked it". Stop supporting it and vocally acknowledge the harm it/the estate is currently doing

whenever the creator of a work is horrible and still profits from it you can Marie Kondo that shit: thank it for the times it was there for you when you needed it, acknowledge the love you once shared, and put it away in favor of something else because it’s no longer serving that purpose for you.

Cool that the DINOSAUR CONVENTION is holding more people accountable than the American government

NOT A SINGLE CENT FOR THIS FRANCHISE/IP, DO NOT SUPPORT. FULL STOP! FULL BOYCOTT.

When we overthrow the tech bros I only want monster fuckers and furry porn artists running the internet and tech.

Dismissed because of jurisdictional confusion, it should be stressed, rather than any new revelation that would discredit the survivors of sexual assault who have come forward.
