Yeah, totally. I also love that it's kind of a combination of "if we had this tech, this kind of injury is not so big a deal" and just sheer Cartoon Logic.

The world building in LD is so smart, I love it so much

This is so nice tho ;__;

I'm so excited to read this - I was talking to my spouse about the tags bc "Lower Decks-typical chill attitude towards grievous bodily injury" is such a good one

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40.

Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

This is SO good

A medieval illustration of a hedgehog with grapes skewered on its spines

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

This one is perfect

It's so telling that "authors" in this article observe *multiple times* that if they say their book is A.I., people avoid buying it -- and they're just hanging on, praying for the day the market is so swamped with slop that readers can't tell what's real anymore.

This article made me so angry, but also I laughed a lot & read much of it out loud to my spouse -- because WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE

We are doing a (quite slow) Columbo rewatch & in this one Dean Stockwell plays a rich dirtbag layabout and it's the best

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

If anyone is wondering, like I was…

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

And they were repairing it, but it was really slow so I just came home after class, on the theory that I'd get more done WFH than Annoyed By Slow Internet ... but the joke's on me bc now that I'm here I just want to read books & rest. :/

There was some kind of construction mishap at campus and the main Internet line was cut. No Internet on campus at all! I scrambled & managed to cobble class together in an acceptable way despite not having access to any of my regular materials (as I've apparently become too cloud-reliant)

Both Microsoft and Anthropic are both openly admitting how much harm their products will cause to education and yet universities are still "yes, this sounds good, it saves us the whole bother of teaching".

nooooooo

Well, at least I aced the ASL quiz.

Back in the office for the first time in over a week. Not sure I'm ready for a Monday, let alone one that requires human interaction.

I am also very normal about this

I've seen what Google thinks I'm about to type next. they're not that slick

reading your timeline like

1. I'm apparently old/out of touch enough to be surprised that CW is considered rare.
2. CW is great & I already sort of thought of it as an actual MCR album
3. This is an excellent argument & well constructed
4. It would be *incredibly* funny if the next 'real' album MCR releases is titled: SIX

Watching this @marcbutevil.bsky.social video on Nebula titled "The Last My Chemical Romance Album" & have some thoughts [1/2]

We are trying to do some house cleaning, and my brain is being VERY annoyingly petulant about this & it's super unhelpful. :E

I'm not done with it yet, but I've been reading Road to Ruin by Hana Lee & really enjoying it! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Road-t...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
