Hang on... *licks it* It tastes of millennia buried in mud, dreaming of the skies and the breeze in its leaves. It tastes of preserved sunlight. It tastes of the voices of creatures so ancient we have not seen or named them even in our dreams. It tastes of clean rain falling. *ack* and cat hair.

i have a rock in every bag 🥰 this is my Work Bag Rock i don’t recall what it is. i bought it at the rock shop after much deliberation

Do we really gotta though?

Many things are none of my business

shut up and eat your microplastics

I'm not seeing anyone speaking ill of Sam Neill, because he was a good man who harmed no one and brought joy to many RIP to a real one

cast him as Batou and let’s try GITS properly this time

brane broke

We haven't even entered an era of non-male superiority, we've only upgraded from resistance to being mean to cismen for like 5 minutes and they're a screeching, crywanking mess in comments sections everywhere. Bitchmade shit, fellas.

the yiddish word 'meyle' (מילא) means "oh well, whatever, nevermind" and it makes me really want to translate Smells Like Teen Spirit into yiddish

"I have never wished a man dead..." I'm gonna stop you right there. Because I have, and do. Once you demonstrate you are a clear and present danger to the survival of millions, the world is better off without you and there is no shame in saying so.

I just invented the most delightful little daily ritual which is now my thing that I made up. It's called petting a sleepy kitty cat. My thing I thought of. You can try it but I must be properly credited.

owned

Despite a paper trail proving otherwise, Unbound’s administrators claimed they still owned the rights to Effin’ Birds and threatened to sue Penguin Random House if PRH paid me any royalties for my ongoing book sales. Wasn’t resolved until two months ago. They tried to bankrupt me out of spite.

Lindsey Graham Platner I Hardly Knew 'Er is this anything

Sora: dead Atlas: dead "adult mode": dead Abilene expansion: dead OpenAI IPO: dead Tell me again about "inevitability"

Not for nothing, but the thing that people CONSTANTLY say to me is they stopped watching new shows on Netflix until they find out if it gets cancelled after the first 1 or 2 seasons. A lot of people feel extremely burned buying into series that get instantly kneecapped.

Behold

Apple alleges that bank robbers are out here robbing banks

I did a talk on glitch art and the media revival cycle where flaws of one generation’s media become aesthetics of the next (film grunge in the 90s, VHS noise in the 2010s, etc), and posited that the imperfections of the human touch will be the next media revival trend. Humanity as glitch aesthetic.

I've been asked to speak at our next NA meeting. An atheist among a dogmatic fellowship. I have some fine-line dancing to do, appealing to the religious while also being a voice for the heretics and heathens.

For a “bodies are weird, yet fascinating” read:

And if it IS psychosomatic- I don’t care! Live on dry eggs for weeks at a time and get back to me on whether it matters if it’s you tricking your brain or medical science at work.

thank fuck for cheese+corn samoosas in these trying times 🌶️🧀🌽

Just found one of the Bored Apes trying to go through my trash. I called animal control and I assume it's dead. I hope so, at least. It seemed in terrible pain

Anyway fuck a cyberpunk future we need to embrace analoguepunk. Physical media, pen pals, and talking to your neighbors. DUST OFF THE WALKMEN LADS AND LASSES, WE ARE TOUCHING GRASS AS COUNTER CULTURE.

"Look at this photo I took, isn't it creepy and liminal?" No, Skyler, the mall just doesn't open for another hour.

ugh i have that rapey song from grease2 stuck in my head. especially egregious as the rest of the soundtrack mostly slaps

(P.S. If you like stories written by humans, I've written a couple...dozen:) www.nightwellgames.com/stories

TLDR: I don't blame you for making mistakes and I respect you for owning up. But this is a major wakeup call that you need to take a hard look at your editorial standards and consider why fifteen of you all got played by the exact same playbook.

Talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today and he told me this rock thing was true - he was architect previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing that I could do - was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long...

Oh you thought you were going to get something you wanted and now some bitch is preventing that better lose your fucking minds about it

I don’t like people enough to be a polycule. What do you mean we’re ALL gonna live together???? In MY home???? The reward for love is… multiple roommates??? Nah. I want to fall in love with one man and I’d prefer he had his own apartment across the hallway.

there were women who I KNOW have experienced abuse defending that alcoholic piece of shit. it was baffling. the trial wasn't to tell if he abused her or not. a previous trial proved he had. that trial was to see if SHE WAS ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT PUBLICLY. and they fuckin televised it

There is a movie about your life. It contains a scene in which the protagonist weeps in the rain. What song is playing? (For extra fun, if you like, who's playing you in this movie?)

Okay, but for real, in the 90s I got made fun of and called weird for Evil Dead 2 being my favorite movie. If you told teenage me that Evil Dead would be mainstream enough to have a corporate food pairing, I would have laughed in your face.

Timeline cleanse: You're watching Mei & Kira, two sea otters (Enhydra lutris) at the Toba Aquarium in Japan, help clean the pool area after playtime. The reward is an ice treat. Enrichment activities like this promote mental wellness. Let's talk about the SUCCESS of sea otter conservation.

Instead of giving shitty white men a second chance why not give people who are none of those things a first chance?

AI (and its boosters) is the creep at the bar who won't take "No" for an answer.

fml my one business email account (run by the company, not me) has ai “suggestions” switched on and sweet jesus they are inane. like if i want to write an email that says *literally nothing* i am quite capable of doing that myself

Hard cosign. Going with your friends or girlfriend to the video store on a Friday night to pick out movies for the weekend was so much fun.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

an astonishing amount of my career success is being a guy who knows a guy* *usually a woman

My feeling about this is fuck it, I'm going to use them when I want to, and if someone accuses me of using "AI" because of it, then I will tell them to go fuck themselves, and that, they can be assured, is not "AI" generated
