Unsure if it's just because I'm older or if fandoms are significantly less pleasant these days but I would rather die than engage in a watch-along or fan thread of a new show. In my 20s I had a great time watching BSG with the a forum but the idea of doing that now makes me want to be buried alive.

Aujourd'hui j'ai appris que des gens ont été rémunérés pour "brûler des boîtes à livres" actu.fr/occitanie/la... Je suis consternée.

So the richest person in the world was off his tits on ketamine and ecstasy while he was taking food and medicine away from the poorest people in the world...? Thousands of whom have consequently died...? Cool cool

Wow, so academia.edu has become ecen scammier than it used to be and is ACTIVELY PROMOTING "AI" "reviews" of papers, so I'm gonna go pull all my stuff off of there.

Finished today The Testaments by @margaretatwood.bsky.social Was important for me to - finally - read the source material right before continuing the show. I'm equally deeply marked by both now. And already, the 1st episode of the new season hits me like a truck.

My son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

I admit that as a Sci-Fi lover, I'm not a fan of how often I notice society taking dystopian novels as a rulebook, but please, let's not instantly reach for sci-fi books burnings to solve this. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes has the Autumn People, who feed on misery and regret... Now we have real-life rage vampires, tricking us away from our own better natures to empower and enrich themselves.

Nothing's better to beat the sunday evening blues than a purring cat, tasty tea and Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale in audiobook form. Wait...

My delight of the day is to listen to Adjoa Andoh narrating "The Power" by Naomi Alderman. What a voice. www.audiofilemagazine.com/narrators/ad...

Just finished the audiobook "The House of My Mother: A Daughter's Quest for Freedom" by Shari Franke, on her recollection of the abuse she and her siblings received at the hands of their vlogger momfluencer, with the horrific events that enfolded just a few years ago.

I'm huge fan of this internet initiative www.goeuropean.org

This was the notorious UK equivalent from 1980, based on nuclear war. There were accompanying information films on TV, with horrible music. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1500124311

You know your hobby is tech aware when in a knitting newsletter, the creator tells you they're breaking up with google and lists all the reason why, with the tools to make the breakup efficient.

Twitter is extremely creepy these days because 90% of the responses are bots and it’s not exactly clear why. Usually it’s not even political, it’s not selling anything, it’s just bots pretending to be people. The vibe is like boarding a city bus and realizing none of the passengers have faces

“Why are we so good at accumulating more information and power, but far less successful at acquiring wisdom?” ― Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI #currentlyreading

I go to knitting groups to learn about cable knitting, and I come back from there with tech history books recommendations and new friends. Communities of like-minded people are amazing.

I biked past this dude on the steps of someone’s house yesterday, and it reminded me so much of my cat that it made me cry. While biking.

New found passion in life: comics conventions to ask for a black cat commission from international illustrators. Not only you get personal art but it will forever reminds you of the amazing chat you had.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 "Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine is the victim," - Macron on Trump and Zelensky's dispute in the Oval Office

I stand with Ukraine. Every decent person should. It’s not just a strategic interest. It’s a moral imperative. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I totally understand why it's fascinating and fun and interesting to lots of people, but it isn't actually a real thing in any way shape or form. Just so you know.

Please stop writing things about the non-existent magical feud between Grant Morrison and Alan Moore. Both of them are still alive, so you can't get away with this kind of Fan Fic nonsense without making yourself look silly.

I find it hilarious that the t-shirt design for Witch from Mercury by Uniqlo has Suleta's moto - Prospera's tool for mind control abuse - as positive self help along with the charms 10/10

Douglas Adams predicted this almost 50 years ago. Every dipshit promoting this garbage read his books and failed to note that he described this technology as universally hated.

The news is too depressing, so I’ll just relax with one of my favourite movies from the ‘90s— … Oh.
