Bit of a mic buzz in some parts of this week's pod, uh oh! It's pretty minor, but will have to watch out for that in future.

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

I love pocket circuit

I showed Nick the trailer for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Part 7: Steel Ball Run. Are you excited? I'm excited! Get excited! youtu.be/uBTkJ3wwsso

We used to be concerned with Roko's Modern Life, this refocus on the Basilisk, a mythological creature, represents our collapsing society's retreat into fantasy

I'm not being controlled by my cursed amulet. You only think I am because your cursed amulet is telling you that I am. But I'm not. You are.

Steel ball run babyyyyy

Quitting my job to become a moomin

same thing happened at the 2022 election where anti-vaccine, anti-lockdown groups had a negligible effect. for whatever reason — I'll let you speculate — there are big chunks of mainstream media and politics who elevate extreme anti-migration sentiment as if it is a strongly & widely held view.

Just got paid, gonna get pizza at a regular size caesars for once.

found this banger again

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

an actual gift of the internet age is how relatively easy it has become for non-wealthy people to maintain memory systems. both personal ones (photos, backups, searchable mail) and collective ones (wikis, archives, fan communities) the glee with which that is being destroyed right now floors me
