I am in a TV Club; it’s like a book club except for TV and sometimes you watch episodes together. You know how in book clubs sometimes a book gets selected and you struggle to get through it because you just hate it so much? Related: I cannot wait to never watch INVINCIBLE again.

We SHOULD fear the worst, actually, because we know that without regulation, tech bros will happily DO the worst! I’m so tired of so many pundits accepting tech bro framing of AI’s inevitability. This isn’t the internet 2.0! It’s something entirely different, and not inevitable!

Listening to Peter Mansbridge’s Good Talk and the segment about AI is painful. Bruce Anderson is saying COVID conditioned us to fear the worst rather than imagine the best, and feel powerless instead of powerful. He says this is reflected in how young people approach AI as a subject and…oh my god.

Please do not voluntarily put your name in a police database for people with disabilities at any point but especially not when fascist eugenicists are politically ascendent worldwide

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

I’m not watching the games but this is the only thing I want from the Stanley Cup finals.

I sincerely hope that the Las Vegas Golden Knights and their “Free Alberta“ rapist goaltender get their asses kicked by the Carolina Hurricanes.

books are just!!! so good!!! and there are so many of them!!! and fiction provides the full anxiety to catharsis cycle that scrolling doesn’t (scrolling is just anxiety no catharsis) or you can learn cool new stuff about history and/or science etc etc bc nonfiction ROCKS

If this is you: go purchase yourself an inexpensive e-reader like a Kobo or the one @josie.zone is nuts about, crucially it should be JUST BOOKS no browser/apps, and then hit me up bc I have SO many book recs for you A chapter or two before bedtime is much more fun and restful than scrolling

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

This is such a well-written piece that it almost makes me want to read Saad’s book so I can make fun of it on my own. (Almost.)

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

Man, listen...

And to everyone who is wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. For more, watch:

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Me explaining to anyone who will listen how I just really like Keith David and everything he’s ever been in, even the bad stuff, because he just seems to always be having a good time and I’m glad he’s getting a star on the Walk of Fame because good for him.

Without Marcia Lucas, Star Wars would have been nothing. She's was an insanely talented woman. When Lucas got all weird about anyone ever questioning him, and purging all but yes men around him, it caused her to leave him; he refused to let her participate in the prequel trilogy, and if she had,

i want to drill down on this idea that we let affluent white people play with crystals and astrology and mild antivaxx stuff like it was harmless and it absolutely led to this moment where kids get measles. white shamanism one hundred percent has to get shunned and mocked and wiped out.

I would’ve been off my rocker if I was there! That’s Crazyyyyy Work KUDDOS 😭✊🏾🤞🏾

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

@mike-eagle.bsky.social is always saying stuff that makes me nod and say "yuuuup," and I'm very glad Amanda ZW tracked him down in Toronto, and got him on camera saying stuff that makes nod and say "yuuup."

This has to be a joke, right? Edmonton’s had KDays with better weekly lineups than this.

of course bluesky is a bubble. i want MORE of a bubble. I am subjected to right wingers asinine caterwauling on 99% of the rest of the internet. they have nothing more to say to me

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

Last night I dreamt that I was the MC for a touring pair of sibling Ukrainian acrobats who were raising money for war refugees with a cast of a dozen or so international celebrities. When not introducing the acts I was sometimes performing onstage, sometimes waiting in the wings with superstars.

"Foxy Brown in Space!" The sequel we never got and that's for the best. I don't know where this idea came from but it was fully formed in my head so I had to draw it. (Love, respect and apologies to the talented and beautiful Pam Grier) 😊 #foxybrown #clipstudiopaint #patreon #pamgrier

To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

It's The Sisko Day. Here is this scene on human existence in the Deep Space Nine pilot.
