They added this to their audio branding, and I feel like this is a big step toward the general backlash. Really interesting.

I would broadly agree. I also felt like the pacing had serious issues with far too much buildup for too little payoff. That said, I love it because it has vision and is someone trying to communicate an intent, rather than just paint-by-numbers committee work.

I'm continuing my series of comfort watch movies on Whatever, and today I'm essaying Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and 19th Century Sailing life, which I am happy to view and not to live: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/02/t...

The only reason I have shot as much film as I have is because I was gifted a bulk roll of Delta 100 back in 2011 from my school, and finally got a bulk roller in 2022. I recommend them to anyone.

It's unbelievable to me how fast LLM gen stuff has given me the "ick." I see it and it's just an instant turn-off because of all of its associations.

I genuinely had no idea this was a Canadianism

I've read a few of the attempts to redefine the poverty line now, and this one is pretty compelling. I would suggest his analysis of the housing market could be made more robust by considering the housing hoarding problem (ie it's not about housing starts), but this has some good arguments

People are finally coming around on The Last Jedi?! I will be VINDICATED!

Listening to this episode reminded me of this article about finding footprints in stone front 850k years ago in England. (Not arguing with anything, I just think this is neat and I want to share) www.theguardian.com/science/2014...

I'm re-reading Castle Waiting by Linda Medley and she's so appallingly good at all aspects of the craft that it's unfair

I just saw the trailer for MERCY (2026), which appears to be a more expensive and worse version of the Ice Cube WAR OF THE WORLDS (2025).

One of my favourite photographers on here appears to have deleted her account, so just a reminder to #believeinfilm: You should have a personal website. We can't trust these platforms. You will always be able to find me at jacy.ca/ and I will want to be able to find you Preferably with an RSS feed

The fucking jokerfied dipshits know better than to make specific threats of violence, joking or not. That is the bar. You need to be better than the jonklers.

So I learned about this a few months ago, and now I'm trying to remember how I learned to read in school in 2000-2001 in Alberta. I recall a focus on sounding out words, and formal construction, so I think it must have been phonics-based. It worked very well for me. This seems atrocious.

In context with the JK Rowling stuff this morning: a reminder that when you define politics as good groups and bad groups rather than good or bad actions, you have people who do bad things who still think that they are "good" people because they align with the "good" group.

A few years ago I found the Willie and Joe WWII collection at a used book store. For someone who was drawing at the front, the comics have a dense and beautiful linework, and a real authenticity because of it. That's a really lovely tribute by Schultz to a cartoonist too few remember.

Someone here in Edmonton is setting up an analog cafe off Jasper Ave. Except he's using AI generated imagery to ask for print submissions for their gallery, and using an LLM to write all his responses to me. I don't know why he thinks this is a good idea. #yeg #analog #believeinfilm

Juicero is a god that will put us all in hell if we don't squeeze the perfect glass.

I figure that most shows take about six months to find their groove, and Hyperfixed is right in there now. If you gave the show a try in the first few months and found it a bit rough, they have been producing hit after hit since April. Give it another try, this new episode is superlative.

I was reading some Murakami, thinking about this. Regardless of his shortcomings—and they are there—I think I keep coming back because of how he creates alienation between his characters. It is only in surreality that honest communication can take place. (Cont.)

Case in point, someone just had an interesting post about reading terrible things being good for your writing. It was a good jumping off point for conversation. But, they had turned off all interactions, so fuck them.

Just a note, if you disable both replies and quote posts on across your account, I am blocking you. If you think your opinion is worth enough that everyone else shouldn't be able to reply on a social media site, I don't care to hear from you.

Ahhh damn. Between the Oilers and the Jays, it's been a rough couple of years

I love editing novels. I love pulling at the weave so the author can see the snags, and they reweave it even better. I love the magic trick of only showing the audience the final product, so they never know what could have been. It's the best.

Oh, this is doing the rounds again! Nice, yeah this provides temporary relief.

That's... Damn.

It is absolutely fascinating seeing people discover just now that Larson has a website for The Far Side, and a section for new work. I was really excited when this was announced and launched back in 2020. But, I had to temper my expectations. Check the copyrights, he doesn't post often.

...was this series written back in 2011 and only just *now* recorded? Very odd choices in narrative, things that I remember being talked about fifteen years ago across all the episodes so far. I don't know that I would focus on NBA Jam, joysticks, army recruiting, or Machinima today.
