God what an incredible day. Coffee on the patio around 10am, potted our first set of plant starters from my parents, then had a nice cucumber salad for lunch. 3pm, went down to pick up more plants from the old workwife, bought tomato cages & fire pit stuff, and those pop-rock refreshers from Tim's.

Please remember what Warner Bros. did to the Wachowski sisters re: Matrix 4. Please remember that creators are telling THEIR story, and it should be THEIR choice how it is told. How it ends. Please. For the love of all that is. Please.

people really need to understand that it's okay for things to end media doesn't need to be perpetual, that's where we end up with 729471 mediocre simpsons seasons and marvel films

Took myself and my watercolours to a castle today (the coffee machine was broken but they gave me free mead) 🎨

Oh did the ceasefire last until friday market close again

Oh shit he’s delivering (Personally really impressed that part of it is going towards HRT research broadly, which suggests this will have impacts beyond new york)

Gonna be honest the SoftBank goose has really made my week. It’s so funny. It’s a perfect monument to the business idiots and what they imagine AI could be for no imaginable reason other than their willingness to be regulated by the wallet inspector. It’s indefensibly stupid.

LEAVE HER ALONE

“You have to apologize for winning” really sums up establishment Dem thought huh

i didn't realize that they're putting little mark critch in house of dragon *and* the legend of zelda movie

the three great realms of fantasy: hyrule, westeros, and st. john's

He's a nervous guy.

“Haha they think antifa is real” no they know antifa is something they can accuse you of being so they can take away all your rights

relevant to an email i just got

This is actually the key point. When it’s this hot, you need to not just drink straight water. You also need to replace salts and sugars that get lost through sweat. And now you can buy electrolyte mixes at the store orrrrrr you can do this! but you do need to do something beyond straight water

I know the usual British reaction to iced tea is “WTF” but y’all need to save Madeline’s instructions & start brewing this stuff. It’s as good an electrolyte replacer as Gatorade or lemonade and y’all created it to survive summer heat in the southern US before air conditioning was invented.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Project Hail Mary is /so fucking good/

I spoke to USA Today about my role in House of the Dragon and they said some very kind things about me 🥹

ALRIGHT maybe that world cup post revealed too much about my trot but to those who saw before i deleted it is absolutely true and i hope this cultivates more ‘chuck is pro athlete under the mask discussion’ please do not discount me being steve nash

I am trying not to BREATHE during the end of Arrival because I am going to screech and howl sobbing at the beauty and pain in grief etc etc and while I'm about to start physically chomping on my hand to not ruin this experience, my wife-- my beautiful wife-- says "Wait, Racer X is her brother?"

Get loved, idiot. #tadc #jax

In the spirit of: Boxing Day LOTR Extended Marathon with charcuterie (and roast beef) and Ides of March Knives Out Marathon with Caesar salad (and spaghetti) Today, HAM House presents: Summer Solstice Space Marathon with copious snacks (and hotpot later)

Ally, listening to this: This was written in Terry Jackson's Canada youtu.be/RWTHxt1XTfs?...

Finally rewatched TADC Episode 9 now that it's out for streaming and opinion remains: SHOW GOOD!!! Show very good!!!

Another one bites the dust. Nintendo is the only console maker worth a damn now. I will give up on new games entirely before I support this genAI shit.

Microsoft had $80 billion to piss up a wall on AI investment, and I don't want this fact lost when we're talking about studio closures, they had obscene amounts of money to throw at slop machines.

RT myself to save a life. This one was heinous. Remember for whom the bell tolls — all phishing attempts are stupid and obvious until the one that catches you when you’re exhausted, high, disregulated, or old.

"How can you not be romantic about baseball?"

I don't blame folks for having conflicting feelings about Jax, god knows I'm on team "no amount of suffering will stop people from hating you if you treat them like a punching bag" but she's a fictional character, not your high school bully. This isn't about you. Many things aren't. Chill.

Something people struggle with is that even if the narrative goes in a different direction than you hoped, you are perfectly capable of exploring that story idea yourself and getting plenty out of it without the author being the one to give that to you in THEIR story. They took nothing from you.

I would just like to share that today at work, one of my lovely regulars got to speak to Ally for a minute and said, in awe, "Wow, you talk exactly like Mel". #OneBrainCell baby 💜 This is why we're wives

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Make America Baja Blast Again

when you’ve never won a game in the 96 year history of a tournament but now you’re crushing qatar (complimentary)

Fun fact about me is that I'm going to eat the raw cookie dough. If cookie dough is what takes me out after 40 years, it is what it is.

Someone in charge of phishing tests for the NLHS really thought they were onto something with this one. "Oh man, I know what'll REALLY trick them." Is this not the kind of shit that would make people go postal? Our health workers are so fucking tired they'd likely love to hunt that guy for sport.

fwiw, I would like a much stronger Canadian privacy law, with a robust enforcement agency that can pursue serious penalties for companies that misuse my data, or use information about me without my consent. I think that's a good idea.

3 million litres of water 🌊 200 tons of steel 25 tons of explosives 💥 ZERO AI slop 🤖🙅🏻‍♀️ This video shows you how we made the biggest show in the world, with practical effects and hard work! So proud to be part of it! ❤️ youtu.be/77V_n3-EryM?...

I can't remember if I ever shared here this amateur short film I made a while ago in a fit of inspiration. Still pretty proud of it. I made it just for fun, but it does make good book promo.

Once more, the Google Play store does something I'm grateful for. Amazon just activated AI in people's books, but Google Play gives you an option to turn off GenAI recap features for your books. Under Book Catalog > Advanced Settings > AI Settings. #Booksky #Romancelandia
