@sayswhopodcast.com Okay I have to say that prototype of the case for the new computer for the newly created writing software uhhhh makes the planner with stickers sound reasonable. Genuinely thought Maureen had perfected avoiding writing, but Dan is setting a new bar this time.

Even as a critic who has tried to write about MJ’s legacy with nuance and grace, I appreciate the clarity the director of Leaving Neverland brings to the table

Ban this shit from your life. Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

hope we find out if it’s haunted

Every time I see someone say "this got 2 million views on X", I feel like I'm going insane. Have people already forgotten how fb was blatantly faking video watch numbers and eventually got caught? Is there literally any good faith reason to believe twitter of all places is honest about view counts?

I knew about his mom's questionable legal filings, but somehow I had missed her substack linking to a 65 page google doc 💀 When you've reached the google doc stage of your PR compaign, it ain't good.

KAORI!!!!!! Going out on top as world champion once again, like she deserves. So happy for her! Thank you for the joy you have brought us all ❤️ We were lucky to get to watch you skate. #WorldFigure

Kaori's last skate ❤️😭 Please be clean #WorldFigure

Going forward, I want less warhorses and more thriller/horror soundtracks for programs. Just bring the vibes of Kaori decapitating the judges and it'll be great #worldfigure

Okay I'm watching skating live so I can cry over Kaori, but these judges better not make me regret it before we even get to the final flight.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

This is the only Harry Potter argument worth making It wouldn't matter if Harry Potter was a singular, unmatched work of genius. Giving Rowling money is actively making the world a worse place and killing trans folks. There's no book good enough or nostalgic enough for that to be worth it.

A strategy I am recommending to people who don’t want to mask all the time is always in healthcare facilities and public transportation, AND if you see someone in a mask, put yours on. The first helps protect spaces high risk people may have no choice but to go, the second shows them support.

Since I have many non-romance followers, enjoy the time someone showed up on Nora's blog to tell her how publishing works. 😂 Only if you want to witness a murder, tho www.themarysue.com/nora-roberts...

Do I prefer subtitles when I watch shows? Yes. Are Netflix's subtitles so inaccurate that I have to turn them off? Also yes.

I'm onto the sleeve portion of knitting this sweater and the odds that I end up stranded on sleeve island for at least an entire season are probably 4:1. But the sweater is super cute so far!

*taps internet microphone* After months of work, a project i've been coordinating for @literaryhub.bsky.social in conjunction with @maris.bsky.social is now live ... We've commissioned 13 reviews of books by LGBTQ folks not covered by the NYTBR under Pamela Paul ... lithub.com/what-was-los...

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americans—and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for it—was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

I'm watching this Love is Blind season so I can talk about it with friends who watch, but I think next season I'll just skip it and put my head through a brick wall instead.

Never heard of this law before right this second but holy fuck if it does not 100% check out

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

I've finished off two baby hat and sweater sets this week, so now I get to swatch for a sweater for myself ❤️

thinking about women at the top of their game winning medals and trophies and being genuinely supportive of their competitors bc they aren’t threatened by each other’s success, meanwhile the face of sports transphobia is some asshole who placed eighth in a swim meet and made it everybody’s problem

I spent the last couple years without twitter and it's going to take me months to remember who all I followed and track them down 😮‍💨

You just cannot convince me that a landed triple axel lands below Adelia Petrosian with shitty ice coverage and a fall.

Kaori is just such a joy to watch. She skates so beautifully. I'm going to miss her so much.

I maintain that Japanese women's nats is the hardest competition in skating these days. Love them all. Very happy for Mone Chiba ❤️

Why are coaches who dope their skaters allowed at events at all? Ridiculous.

Putting the women's figure skating final at the same time as the women's gold medal hockey is actually ridiculously rude.

Finally made an account just in time to probably get really mad at figure skating judges.
