As a true Fantastic Four fan I won’t be seeing the new movie unless there’s a slide whistle sound every time Mr Fantastic stretches

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

men writing erotica: John was attending Sex University, where all of the students and teachers are horny for sex

women writing erotica: John was attending Sex University, where sex is strictly forbidden… yet John yearns for his fellow student Douglas, who is also a secret monster man

HEY BESTIE

Billionaires like AI because it means the person who owns the AI can make the AI say whatever they want it to. They get to determine the truth for the billions of stooges they're hoping will pay them for fancy autocomplete. The irreparable flaw in the model is irrelevant.

all i want is to be able to move to a tiny galician town by the river or seaside and read and write and have enough money to get a coffee is that seriously too much to ask for

just bought train tickets to go see leon's family and to go to larp, and instead of getting excited that we're going, it's just depressing that we spent £250 JUST ON TRAINS.

must start relistening to kai's whole discography (exo included) before tomorrow so i can be properly annoying when he comes back

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, frontal three quarters view. White shirt and black pants with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. There are also two necklaces with blue pendants around the form's neck and a pair of green drop earrings pinned close by.

Photo of my Howl Pendragon cosplay on a sewing form, view from the back. Black pants pinned to the sewing form with a pink and blue jacket thrown over the shoulders, like the Studio Ghibli design. The jacket is heavily beaded and covered in floss and ribbon embroidery. The back of the jacket shows the scene from the Ghibli film as a young Howl standing on a meadow catches a falling star. There are other falling stars in the night sky. The meadow is completely beaded and framed in a golden velvet ribbon. Embroidered with golden floss beneath the golden ribbon reads: "You who swallowed a falling star, o' heartless man".

American teens are flocking to a new video app

“What a tool cynicism is to the corrupt, claiming the whole of the creation is broken and fraudulent, and thus we are all excused to indulge in whatever sins we wish—for what’s a little more unfairness, in this unfair world?”

The ethical case for resisting AI I had my moment of reality regarding generative AI in my chemistry and physics classes this past term. I’ve always had the student frustration “I can’t Google your homework problems!” as a point of…

Just in time for the AI policies to go into my syllabi - I've cleared my brain of all of its frustrations regarding generative AI.

I think it's important to resist the stuff. For all of us. And for no greater reason than preserving our humanity.

I think the stakes are that high.

I was very disappointed when I discovered that the moral of Don't Create the Torment Nexus was that the Torment Nexus is good actually and creates loads of shareholder value

if there are no tj mack fans left on earth, know that i am dead

intermezzo by sally rooney

actually the barcelona metro remains superior in pretty much every single way, but then again it's only a fraction of the size of london and new york so

i know new york subway can be disgusting but it's good to hear that at least someone is having an ok time with services being regular

TfL could never... signal failures on a good day, and let's not talk about what happens when it rains (yes, the most common thing in the uk)

they had the goals but probably ran out of time! but yeah up til now it's been (relative) free movement within the EEA

lowkey the uk too these days

what really sealed it for me on a personal level was the fact they want to impose visas on europeans visiting which means my spanish family will have it v difficult to see me—truly confirmed that it's the same assholes, different face (not that we didn't know but like 🙃)

when someone asks what you’ve been reading but it’s all ao3 fics you don’t want to tell them about

Octavia Butler couldn’t see the future. She saw what was happening in front of her and, in addition to studying the past, was able to imagine where it would lead. It’s important to tell the truth about her because mythologizing her is a disservice to her legacy.
