"I didn't think --"
"You're not SUPPOSED to fucking THINK, Skylar, you're supposed to follow FUCKING PROTOCOL."

A lovely @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social reader won an auction for a review by me, and requested Katherine Addison's The Goblin Emperor. It was a delight to return to this novel with a critical eye, to talk about the things that make it special & set it apart. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/07/the-...

imagine becoming an adult catholic convert and finally getting to meet the pope and you're all excited like it's your own personal super bowl. but the pope spends the meeting calling you an asshole, and then the next day he dies and everybody says you're the one who killed him. incredible stuff

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Hey, so if you’d rather just see most recent replies to skeets it’s pretty easy: you’ll go to Content and Media and change the setting back to “Newest replies first," because it defaults to this new “hotness” thing.

TWoP is the top of the list of things about the old internet. I still wish I could get a hilarious recap after my fave show airs a stinker of an episode 😭

This is a fantastic starter pack from @sepinwall.bsky.social of tv and pop culture writers who've resettled here.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

It's increasingly clear that the people who make generative AI don't like films, don't like books, don't like art of any kind, and don't understand why anyone else does.

GOD DAMN YOU EA-NASIR

There was a time, around the second half of the 1980s, when television took an interest in lovely, engaging romantic comedies. ANYTHING BUT LOVE with Richard Lewis and Jamie Lee Curtis was one of a few not crossed with action or mystery. Just a straight romcom. With Ann freaking Magnuson! A gem.

This is one of the primary goals of "AI" these days: to create an empty chair that takes the blame for corporate misconduct.

We didn't discriminate, the AI told us who to hire. We didn't wrongfully reject the health insurance claim, the AI told us to. And on and on.

Been around this biz long enough to have witnessed the "same guy wins Hugo 15 years in a row" era, the "presenter sexually assaulted on stage" year, been a nominee/winner during "attempted far-right takeover of the Hugos" year, and so a "corrupted admins" year is just "Ah, yes, another Hugo season."
