SFWA just imploded the Nebulas. WTH

I see the appeal of this idea, but I just don't buy it. Nobody who knows anything about WWI could say it wasn't True Horror, but, twenty years later...True Horror is always happening, honestly. It just depends on where you are.

In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

YES. THIS IS A YUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

I absolutely love this series--detective mystery with magic, ongoing romance set in a matriarchal fantasy city, beautifully imagined. If you haven't read them, treat yourself!

Ok Popular Science just made me cry a bit.

Re gender affirming care for youth: They will come for the haircuts and the clothes next. And it won’t stop with kids or trans people. And I’ve been telling people this for a decade and now here we are with lots of cis people shrugging and saying it’s unfortunate. How are you going to save a life?

Real Life Comic for Thursday, December 18, 2025 reallifecomics.com/comic-mobile... Share and Enjoy!

"Who thought Thatcher hair was a good choice for this suit?"

Ooooh, I loved The Roottrees Are Dead. It scratched my genealogist brain exactly right. ... Now I want a similar game, except make it fantasy. (I'm currently listening to the last book of the Cemeteries of Amalo by Katherine Addison with all the family and nobility dynamics...)

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.

For those of you who claim to be allies, please don't let this be a repeat of the Silvervale situation. We're asking you to take a stand, and not play a video game. Your short term comfort is not more important than the long-term impact of human lives. Boycott Fortnite. Have a fucking conscience.

the good news is that the media attention and support from an audience has helped Horses do well enough that Santa Ragione has been able to pay all its owed royalties and loans. so it's not in debt. the bad news is it's still not enough to keep the studio together. www.ign.com/articles/hor...

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Jeez, this is grim. Larian was such a good exemplar of how games should be produced and how "woke" games can be good and sell millions, only to learn its just another corpo in a rainbow skin. It's like if weird al played for trump. I hope those affected find better work, they deserve it so much

COVID vaccine linked to lower risk of death regardless of the cause, large new study www.euronews.com/health/2025/... Very obviously this is a correlation study. Still, key message: NO big harm signal. On the contrary. NO "turbo cancer". NO "sudden death." Etc. #VaccinesWork

Hi, I'm the CEO of Glorbo, the company who enjoys near unprecedented goodwill in our field, I'm here today to talk to you about our pivot to using the Magic 8-Ball powered by children's bones that everybody hates, I've given myself psychosis listening to the 8-ball aaaaeeeeeiiiiooouuuu

“Why is it my lord is silent while I wag my tail and run about like a dog?” I’ve been left on read too many times. A man named Ashur-resiwa is begging a superior to answer his previous 3 letters, and we can maybe all relate to both sides of this particular coin.

I thought I had gotten good at controlling my expression, but apparently only when I wasn’t feeling actual emotions.

I swear to fucking god mozilla, *everyone hates this idea*. Do NOT succumb to The Fear & the Monetization Disease. You don't need to have a "modern AI browser", at all, ever. You need to be th comany that respects user privacy, meaningful consent, & choice; the one w/ The Browser That Fucking Works

This is fucking SICK & CRAZY & DANGEROUS as fuck for our 🏳️‍⚧️ families. My god 😨 🤬 I wish there were a special sanctuary where every trans person in Texas could easily go 😖 unfair, but fuck Texas 😖

hi, cis folks! today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail. either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no. tap into the 🧵for more

I love this series. One of my must buys.

so many reasons ai "creation" sucks. one that just occurred to me upon looking at this comic. the selling point of AI is that it we can all produce More. you do not need More. Capitalists need you to want More. if you Consume More Product, they can hoard more wealth.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild: Deer Raccoon Skunk Pheasant Red fox

not exactly surprised that Disney is doing a Gaston movie at this time in history, lol. "What if that violent, charismatic misogynist who hates reading had something to him?" is not exactly an exciting question right now. Especially written & directed by men.

Yep. Mark Kelly, who expects us to have his back vs Trump and Hegseth, and who absolutely will NOT stop sending texts asking for $$$, says your trans family members can go fuck themselves.

This isn't my favourite time of year. The snow, ice and cold are hard on my knees and lungs. And I know I'm not alone in that. Especially with the world being what it is. But as the song says "If I cannot bring you comfort, then at least I bring you hope."

Book birthday for me! It's kind of amazing to see the series all in one place - thanks to @qospress.bsky.social for the collection!

I know I seem like a broken record, and I apologize for it, but I don’t know what to do. We need to get some more money to our landlord today to stay on the payment plan he set for us, and we desperately need your help.

In honour of Rob Reiner, have David Moore's thread on the best sword fight in movie history and exactly how nerdy it is.

If you’re making excuses for someone shooting students at a college or shooting a group of people peacefully celebrating a religious holiday - then go fuck yourself because you are a piece of shit. Nobody should go through what the kids at Brown or the Jewish people of Australia have gone thru

Too many vaccines in the first year?Your child is 44% more likely to survive to one year if they are vaccinated than if they are unvaccinated.

Within days of Columbine, my high school banned trench coats, graphic tees, and all black clothing. Now, AI is wreaking havoc in younger Gen Z and Alpha and educators are actively encouraging them to use it even more.

You would stop approximately a hundred times more child sex abuse by passing a law saying kids aren't allowed to go to church, be around cops, or play sports than you would with a social media ban. Weird how you're not supporting that! Why do you hate children and want them to be sexually abused?

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Anti-vaxxism is an ideology with maybe the dumbest combination of pointless and evil that has ever existed bsky.app/profile/nyti...

In a normal administration, this would be a career-ending, weeks-long scandal

one thing that doesn’t get enough coverage or comment with regards to this administration is it how much it hates the actually existing united states

If only there was a safe, cheap and effective way to halt its spread.

it is impossible to overstate the extent to which this country is now being run by people you would leave a party rather than talk to for five minutes

Writers, especially women/femmes/nbs: If you have a partner who does this, DUMP THEM. This isn't "uwu I was worried about you, baby🥺" This is a scheming asshole move to control you. He wants you to be a good tradwife and take care of babies and make dinner, not write YOUR stories. REMOVE HIM

Can't wait to go back to early LA! Goddamn Nixon created the EPA. NIXON! You're less progressive than NIXON, you dumb pos reality TV star. YOUR WIFE SHOULDA CHOSE PUCK.

Maybe the solution is to just provide accommodations as the standard? Change society's expectations to allow disabled people access to everything and stop stigmatizing it. Because any abled person may become disabled at any second of any day.
