Why is it called the Department of War and not the Department of Ultimate War-Man Warring? Are we losing our edge? Can we get truck nuts on the tanks, perhaps?

If you are on TikTok, try to boost please!

This person literally stole my artwork, posted it on TikTok claiming it as their own, removed my comments calling them out, blocked me, and then posted another one of my art pieces right afterward.

Post your favorite Doctor Who, wrong answers only.

I'm sure this was always the case, but the whiplash in political expression by major corporations during roughly the last 3 years has been the ultimate proof that they are completely amoral, and so their support shouldn't be celebrated unless it's instrumentally useful.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Whoa.

I wish everyone would read @zachweinersmith.bsky.social'sbook "Open Borders" on how good immigration is, and why open borders aren't the eeeeevil the GOP (and, sadly, too many Dems) make them out to be. openborderscomic.com

We are hurting ourselves to hurt them.

24 Monkeys

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I see and hear you

I need everyone to read CARELESS PEOPLE. Imagine being an ad person for facebook, teaching beauty and weightloss companies how to target teen girls who had deleted selfies seconds before with ads, and then going home and thinking you're a good person. Probably thinking you're better than others

Free trade, free movement, vaccines work.

For my last one, how about a Hinge post for #Unhingedpit Meet Allison, regretting her choices. #A #SF #Q

Hot take: Spider-Man was guilt-tripped into heroics. #Unhingedpit #A #SF #Q

Greyjack, what are you doing? Dr. Entropy, what about you? #Unhingedpit #SF #A #Q

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social Have you seen The Good Place? Your latest comic lands squarely in the central dilemma of the series. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/evm

Uh, wow. The future is fast approaching. youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w?...

There is someone very SF savvy at Apple TV. Silo, Foundation, and Neuromancer shows? What's next, Rendezvous with Rama? The Moon is a Harsh Mistress?

Snow! Snow?

@hankgreen.bsky.social looking unhinged in the best way possible.

Authors, if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book. "Comic books lie about having superpowers." Unreleased. In the market for an agent.

We are all phenotypically female at conception. So good morning sisters!

If you went to college 1. what was your career goal when you started? 2. your initial major? 3. if you changed majors, what did you change to? 4. what do you do now? 1. Something with psychology/Write science diction 2. Psychology 3. N/A 4. Psychology professor (querying first novel soon)

We need to move on from endlessly litigating the deficiencies of existing media and start building NEW media that speak to new audiences. There's a blue ocean of disengaged people out there waiting for someone to speak in a way that makes them give a shit. Go get them!! They're not on Bluesky!!

Summarizing a 125,000 word novel in 500 words almost feels like a fool's errand. 250 more words to cut and it isn't getting easier.

Some headlines you just have to click on. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I appreciate Scalzi sharing his private experience with us. It's not something he had to do.

This is such an upsetting article to read but I appreciate Zach's take on it, especially about how people are treating their subordinates.

These are all set in 2025.

"You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you." I'm screwed.

This is a tense thriller of a tale.

I foresee even more giving Big Corp what it demands and less responsiveness to what the public wants in our future. Hope I'm wrong. 🙄 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/t...

2025 can't be an actual number.

A non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring.

This reminded me of a tangentially related incident with textbooks. Reputedly, the publisher was so keen on shifting us to the third edition, they bought up all the second edition books and destroyed them. Our department adopted an open-access textbook for that core class after that.

Dear academics We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists. This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by… *checks notes* …every other industry on earth.

Cory Doctorow makes a good point about how BlueSky is susceptible to the same pressures that enshittify other services. Enjoy your time here and support efforts to improve the service but maybe don't get locked in here economically.

My primary advice for whelming is - if something annoys you, automate it, delegate it, or eliminate it.

The Great Gaslighter is the worst magician ever. "Is this your card? It is and it always has been!"

Elf on the Shelf puns are coming...

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

Ever flip the pillow over and it's TOO cold? Yeah, me neither.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
