Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.

Hell yeah, brother

time for more Tiny Bookshop

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Not going to get this kind of a deal on this kind of a tanzanite again, so enjoy whoever ends up with it. Size 5. $85 Check out my product! www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

Godammit. I just took my Friday morning meds instead of my bedtime meds 🤦‍♀️ Guess we're about to see if the concerta keeps me awake FFS

Oh man that Traitors finale. What a ride

I forgot how loud the road noise is in my car lol Oh well. I'll get used to it again

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

My car repairs are done 🎉 which means I get to pick up my old reliable Subaru & give back this newfangled fancy one lol

*endless screaming*

Yes please

Why am I having an anxiety spike, nothing is happening This is like, the most chill week day I've had in a while

Sending warm California thoughts to my friends in Mass. / East coast snowmageddon Stay safe 🙏

I started playing Tiny Bookshop and it's so cute Tons of real books to stock the fictional shelves, you can adopt the doggo, diverse characters. Cozy and a little challenging without being frustrating

Leftover Asian noodles and leftover sushi for lunch All Asian all the time lol

I know the east coast is about to get Snowmageddon 2.0 but here in NorCal I am watching birds at my feeders and the gold finches are getting their bright yellow spring feathers and it makes me happy, they are cute

Wild that sci-fi was like "fear that machines will become so intelligent they'll take over the world" and the reality is "machines will fake being intelligent enough to tell people what they want to hear" and that's how you actually take over the world. Apparently.

incredible write up of our latest young folk hero

I listened to an interview with Alysa Liu yesterday and I can see that the interviewers are unsettled by her and do not know what to do with her responses. She challenges so much of what USians are taught about competition and frankly about how to live a life.

One of the greatest scenes in all cinema is on: Dory speaks whale

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world

I could crush a whole box of these

You can tell that the broadcast commentators haven’t read @seananmcguire.bsky.social ‘ October Daye series. None of them have commented on the possibility that Alysa Liu is a Cait Sidhe

A dog story: When my ex and I were together he tried building me a little pond with a fountain in our backyard "Tried" being the operative word bc he had a serious case of Dunning-Kruger The result was a hole approximately 3 feet in diameter and two feet deep that filled up with stinky water

Weather app "tree pollen increasing tomorrow" Me:

Researchers discovered a publicly exposed frontend on a government-authorized server, containing 2,456 accessible files from the age verification vendor used by Discord.

lol shut up loser

Total freak flag: Work It by Missy Elliott Somewhat reasonable choice: Erase/Rewind by The Cardigans

Have said this before but Norway is one of those places where you see that there’s a difference between having a market economy and having a market society.

The Perfect Storm It was my birthday. Entertaining flick but realizing 85% of it was created from whole cloth 😑

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

guys, now is definitely not the time for… whateverthefuck this is, please put it back

I think it was twenty-mumble years ago this week that I came out to tour UC Davis as a prospective grad student. The weather was much nicer that year

Conference day 2. Sessions today look much more interesting, the vendor floor will be open, and they actually blocked out two hours in the schedule for lunch I'm giving myself the grace to not get there immediately at 8. It's pouring rain and downtown traffic sucks

Seems like some other publishing people need to see this. I write even the boring parts without chatgpt. So should you. Stop killing the planet and your peers' careers for laziness' sake.

A whistle mystery turns into getting a local organizer all the resources she needs to protect her community. Read the whole thread! ❤️

Officially the worst conference scheduling I've ever experienced. Vendor floor doesn't open until 4:30 today. There are no sessions for the next 90 minutes. There is no time carved out for lunch. Keynote starts at 12:15 🙃

2026 basically

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Going to a conference (thankfully in town) and having mixed emotions about it I generally enjoy them but they are A Lot of Peopling

Here's something to reflect on, courtesy of my therapy group: where do you feel *happiness* in your body? 🤔

Can't. I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter *whip noises*

oh i love this i love this

Can't. I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine

I have done Too Much Therapy in two days and have also had Too Many Doctor appointments today I have decision fatigue and my brain is mush
