Wake Up Dead Man shows something I don't really see a lot in film: a piece of art about Christianity from the perspective of a nonbeliever who is very familiar with Christianity, who dislikes organized Christianity but wants to believe in the greater concept of empathy it’s supposed to embody

The hero of Murderbot is an unrepentant pirate of digital entertainment.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

I love the hit television show Our Flag Means Death

This is such an excellent article about what’s at risk if we let fanfic become absorbed by traditional publishing. Fanfic is fantastic and should be celebrated, but part of what makes it so powerful is that it’s art for art’s sake, not profit.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

Get in, loser. We're objectifying fictional characters.

Grass is green where you water it. Dont be hesitant to try a new site because every app started small and unknown. I urge you all to give Pillowfort a fair chance. The more people try sites like Pillowfort the more we can break away from big corpos trying to 1984 us all.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? Honestly I would open up to either of the life forms in this photo, but if they were both present? Yeah. Very effective therapeutic team.

Gurathin said he wanted to show Murderbot the ropes, didn't he? Or something like that. 👀 #murderbot #murderathin

I finished this project off tonight with the second herb from the left, and it took me seven episodes of Murderbot to finish those eight leaves. But now I can give this to my sister this weekend!

"It was starting to occur to me that Dr. Mensah might actually be an intrepid galactic explorer" Can we talk about how BRILLIANT Noma Dumezweni was in Murderbot??

I appreciate that in this moment in time, Murderbot is telling a story about people who choose to help each other no matter how many times the world around them tries to tempt them toward cruelty and selfishness.

But that day, when SecUnit said "I need to check the perimeter," Gurathin realized what it really meant was "I love you." #MurderBot

The local library has a Silent Reading Party a couple of times a year and Sunday is the next one. Last time I read a novel by a local author. This time I'm going to bring Murderbot. Pretty sure I can finish All Systems Red and Artificial Condition in the time allotted. (will be 3rd reread in 3mo)

practicing self-care by blocking people with stupid-ass Murderbot takes instead of wasting time telling them why they're blockheads.
