The Paranoia Game Illustrated by Griselda_Gimpel - Wolf 359 (Radio) archiveofourown.org/works/87551251 via @ao3org Illustration of the climatic scene of "The Paranoia Game", featuring Hilbert butt. Hilbutt, you might even say. #FanArt #Wolf359

After the reveals, I was tempted to send a message like, "You're going to be shocked to see who wrote for you. Well, okay, maybe not that shocked." 😄

"it's a nice thing to do"

It is really frustrating to have small but urgent problem with a small, identifiable, easy solution...but not be able to get help.

a great dissection of why a lot of fandom drama doesn't only boil down to "these people are thinking too much about [insert series here] and need to touch grass." there's another layer to the way folks get obsessed (for parasocial/self-important rewriting/clout reasons, etc) that gets glossed over

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

he doesn’t know passports are given to people who already live here does he

politics is about storytelling, and there's just a very different valence between "I am visibly going to do everything possible to get us to the promised land" and "I will pick one reasonable little project, don't get your hopes up too much for more, big stuff will have to wait"

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

We made it to Friday!!! Great job everyone!!!!

If you're making an audio drama, you can strip public domain movies for parts. It's useful for getting sound effects that you might have trouble creating yourself.

They found Popeyes. 😭

Has…has anyone asked how Manuel feels about this?

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

do it in 250- in America you cannot even rake leaves in your front yard without your neighbours showing up en masse to tell you how to do it better, you can fool the suburbans about healthcare and civil rights and foreign policy but never for a second on pool maintenance

they are literally saying james talarico is trans. it doesn't matter who the dems nominate or elect, the playbook is the same, so trying to avoid gop ire with milquetoast candidates is pointless

New: the tokenpocalypse is here, companies scrambling to stop spending so much on AI. I got leaked audio from consulting giant Accenture showing AI token spend/'chewing' is not from supercharged engineers. It's non-technical workers converting PDFs to presentations! www.404media.co/the-tokenpoc...

Wait wait wait Trump "inspected" the reflecting pool's paint job by getting *driven around inside the empty pool* in the 6 tonne presidential limo, and supposedly vandals with some sharp sticks are the culprits for the damage?

THREAD. A collection of excellent scarecrows I have met on walks in the countryside. You will find the all-important caption to each photo in the alt text.

Finished Chapter 25 of "Around and Around". Next up on my To Write list is a charity fic, as soon as I figure out what I want the outline to be.

You truly expect me to believe these are two different individuals. What do you think I am. What do you take me for. Am I Mr. Bean to you

Remember artists: If someone approaches you for your art, then tells you to lower your price or else they’ll just get AI to do it, they’re lying! They already tried AI. It failed. That’s why they’re coming to you. People always want free (ai) until it sucks, then they try the premium option (you)

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.

It is absolutely true that Dems need to win swing voters to win elections. The misdiagnosis is that swing voters are “moderates.” They are not. They have almost entirely incoherent politics. You don’t win them from the middle. You appeal to your base with conviction and hope swings like the vibes.

Effective Altruism by Griselda_Gimpel - #TheHarbingers (Audio Drama) archiveofourown.org/works/87134166 Amy and Eckerberg's relationship over the years, in which they are in cahoots together, and she tries to mind control him into being a better person, and he finds ways to make her worse.

Update: the cake tastes delicious.

If you can't celebrate anyone else's achievements and treat everyone as your competition, don't be surprised if no one will stick their neck out for you and all you have left are enemies.

baby geep

We made it to Friday. Good job everyone!

Lmao at this guy calling all of the reflecting pool problems a literal month ago.

Exciting things are going on in the kitten's life right now even if I can't produce much right now. The kitten wife is producing an audio drama! And a really close friend is publishing a web novel! Expect me to cram links to both in all of your faces when they come out.

They never do! "This young, passionate filmmaker made a good movie with a small budget that was very successful. Hmmmmmm I guess that means audiences love stories from Reddit."

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

I made chocolate waffles tonight to treat kitten wife. What? The shape? It's fine totally no side effects here.

Calex made chocolate waffles for dinner. 🤤

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

As I see more friends fall victim to this discord hack, I remind people that if someone asks you to download their new game out of the blue, right now, because it will only take a couple minutes, after "catching up" for a minute It's a hack, and they will take over once you download that file.

The latest trend in AI spam email here is 'just finished reading [your book], really liked [this aspect], I just have one question [inoffensive general query]. Which does read like genuine fan email from days of yore. One plus of getting slews of this crap is similarity makes it easier to identify.

If you are a fanfic writer who would be happy for fanart of your work please repost

It seems wrong that I have to learn my lines. Did I not write the damn script? And yet-!

all those guys on the front lawn of the white house tonight are there because it's not their weekend with their kids and i think it is beautiful when men sync up their custody cycles
