We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

If you play a mill deck in Magic... you're a dick. Point blank.

As far as I know, in most democracies the penalty for not obeying a traffic order is not death

I laughed soooo friggin hard at this.

Charles Addams had more control over value in an inkwash than maybe any other cartoonist before or since, and also was a lady magnet: among his many romantic partners were Greta Garbo, Joan Fontaine, and Jackie Kennedy, with whom he split when she complained that they only talked about comics

Ah yes, the serious issues facing Rhode Island... where people stand when the governor gives a speech. My quality of life has been restored! So glad all the effort was put there. /sarcasm (in case that wasn't obvious)

COMMERCIAL BREAK! A friend once told me that my writing makes horror feel like therapy. If that sounds appealing, you can check out my queer hopeful fantasy over at tyler-hayes.com/publications; we've got traumatized imaginary friends, lonely cursed swords, and a soupcon of sleep paralysis demons.

Hard agree. Especially updates to my phone. Every time it updates, it gets bloated by T Mobile, Samsung, and Android itself and I have to unfuck it. Spellcheck is the worst offender. I spent more time unfucking the inaccurate virtual keyboard / pisspoor autocorrect than typing a this post.

Nobody tells you that success can feel like being slowly fed into a machine. Turns out you can burn out while winning (who knew??). Here's how hitting rock bottom taught me what actually matters. www.kameronhurley.com/i-broke-apar...

The gatekeeping mean girls of the writing world want you reading weird shit by rad trans authors instead of LLM bullshit masquerading as tradwife kink performance

"Donald Trump has promised to arrest me and disappear me permanently. Armed thugs are currently dragging me to the gulag. I am being brutally beaten even as I type Where is this energy when it comes to egg prices?" —Dem leaders, I guess.

Bonus points because the prof literally just quoted the hateful bastard with no additional commentary.

Unless you're making a laundry robot, how the fuck is a plagiarism machine gonna do that? Piss off with AI puff pieces.

And don't just read the new releases either. Something I've found is a lot of newer authors don't know the history of the genre, such as paranormal romance and they don't realize that what they think is new or novel has been around for decades at this point (or just how old spicy romance is).

Hard agree. I have a book and a film degree both. Since they are different mediums, they do different things well. You can't write a car chase the same you film one. I know. I've tried. Just doesn't translate one to one. If you want to write a book, read books.

No new pics. Where are tou mentally?

This is really, really great. wantmymtv.vercel.app

My book doesn't actually have any trans characters in it. Wait... you said wrong answers... ha!

Mother effing classic!! I own the OG album cause my dad worked with the trombonist's cousin in the late 90s.

I saw this post a while back and it stuck with me, and feels rather relevant here. Doesn't matter if your good actions are "performative", what matters is that you're doing them in the first place.

My two book (so far) #spicy #scifi series Ariana Joins the Scouts is available as free to read on Amazon if you have KU and $4.99 each otherwise. www.amazon.com/Ariana-Joins... Follow along with Ariana and her friends as they have exciting adventures and meet friendly aliens.

When you've been on social media for much of your life but are only just now reading Pratchett

I'm not sure where the book i'm reading is going.... which normally doesn't bother me but this left turn has left the only character that isn't a smarmy tool in the lurch.

This is both an absolutely fascinating thread and also possibly the answer to a question that's been in the back of my brain for a while (specifically why adults, especially older ones, were *so* insistent that we knew and understood that rhubarb leaves were poisonous when we were kids)

Let me provide some context here: GenAI shills have over promised GenAI and their cousin platforms as the digital equivalent of a multitool that can be applied reliably to solve almost any problem encountered in the world. Moreover, they've convinced the public that this is the case.

I am quite partial to Princess Mononoke.

You should write that book. Even if it is bad.

Old plumbing. Grew up in a old old house and had sinks like this. No one was gonna replumb everything to undo it. Preferred it actually.

I love when I have no idea what the discourse is on any given day cause it usually sounds very stupid. Not knowing is half the battle.

"I went on Twitter and I saw all these terrible posts" Oh fuck man really? Did you also go to the dump and find a bunch of rotting food? Why are you making it my problem now.

There’s so much Miller on the timeline, cleansing with Dolly Parton and a cat ✨

Late 90s Simpsons was the best Simpsons.

I've actually seen rabid raccoons before. You don't fuck with any nocturnal animal that looks day drunk. We just buried it *very* deep.

Ha! Anyone who's been reading SFF for a looong time is gonna have a hard time answering that. I'd prolly have to go with Ender's Game. Read that at 12ish (before OSC went off the deep end post 9-11) and it was low grade foundational to my world view.

Rabies is literally one of the worst ways to die in existence. You don't come out of it. There have only been 14 documented survivors of rabies. That is a 99.99999999% fatality rate and bats are the most common source of rabies in America.

Let's bring this aesthetic back.

i am extremely proud to announce my latest journalism this piece is about DuPont, General Motors, TEFLON, PFOA, PFOS, and our POISONED world we keep each other safe, and it begins with free, trustworthy information read it for free: junoryleejournalism.com/2025/12/18/d...

I sprained my thumb by sleeping with my arm under my pillow.

Hard agree. We're all indentured servants for Healthcare.

If a machine can fart out a 400-page novel based on any stray shower thought, why would even the “author” want to read it? But they don’t get it. Or maybe they do but are in deep denial

Someone made a good point about finding prompts left in AI books: they expect you to read what they didn’t read themselves. Their argument is that they have the vision but lack the skills. Wouldn’t you want to read your vision? Just ridiculous.

I am so old.

Jackie Chan said in an interview once that his major influence is Buster Keaton, and of course. Of course he is.

Houndoom 🦴🔥

painted up some gretchin, by far one of the best units in warhammer. Love these little freaks
