“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Viñeta de Watchmen en la que se ve una de las fases de la reaparición del Doctor Manhattan en la que el texto explica que el 14 de noviembre fue avistado su esqueleto parcialmente musculado gritando por treinta segundos antes de desaparecer en las afueras del perímetro de las instalaciones del experimento que le creó.

¡Feliz día del Esqueleto Parcialmente Musculado Gritando por Treinta Segundos Antes de Desaparecer!

need to kill the recurring thought of "no I can't replay/reread that, I have other stuff to check out"

no. I am a poor little peasant living just after the advent of the printing press. I have five books at most and I will reread them so much they will know the death of the author was caused by me

I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

On this day, 33 years ago, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in cinemas.

Starring #GaryOldman, #WinonaRyder, #KeanuReeves and #AnthonyHopkins it was an Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed success and one of the most revered #vampire movies ever.

Yep, és la del mòvil xD Tot i que seria guai que l'app de la UAB es posés cunty

An advert from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona offering Banco Santander AI-aided writing courses, where the photograph itself is AI.

what the actual fuck?

Síii! Ara cal firmar contracte (la UAB té 30 dies per fer-ho) i llavors tindré oficialment un contracte pre-doctoral

HAN PENJAT LA RESOLUCIÓ DEFINITIVA DE LA FPU!

Som lliures, gent. Som lliures de l'incertesa. A tota la gent que està al mateix vaixell que, fins fa una estona, semblava que s'enfonsava, moltes felicitats 🫀

Para despistados, ChatControl es poner a una IA a leer todos los chats (incluso los encriptados). Se votó hace poco y salió que no pero se quiere volver a votar.

España está a favor, podéis usar la herramienta del tuit enlazado para escribir a los eurodiputados y ver si conseguimos que eso cambie.

If they can get away with banning us from so many facets of life, then when the next part of the plan comes, most cis people will shrug and say, "well, they weren't really part of society anyway".

lo més guai de la depressió hiperfuncional és que, com que estic fent totes les tasques que he de fer, encara que m'estigui destrossant la vida i el cos i la capacitat de ser feliç doncs potser socialment no és gaire important i la gent es pot pensar que estic bé i simplement sóc un xic antisocial

vaaaaaaja

Cada vegada que em pregunti algú com estic els hi enviaré aquest article

Missed indeed...
There's also optimism to be found in the Ousters in Hyperion, the Demarchists in Revelation Space (think you'd like them especially!) and the Edenists of Night's Dawn, where it's heavily hinted that the future can also be utopian (in a way very similar to Banks)

Starship Logbook #5: Why Space Opera can tell us just as much as Hard SF can This last week I’ve been reading a lot about Space Opera and its criticism, mostly to develop a functional definition of it and to find a way to explain why it is that it fascinates me so much (and…

Again late on blogpost but writing is writing is writing. Today, I geek out about why Space Opera is a cool and valuable and sexy sub-genre not matter what the SF purists say: deadinsectarchive.wordpress.com/2025/11/08/s...

(surprising nobody)

Every time I seem to hold cisgender people around me to a seemingly unreasonable high standard, just know that it's because I refuse to entretain ppl who'd rat me out for a pat in the head and an ice-cream - that's why I have less friends and family than avg.

I can't believe bsky has been blocking all "rude" and "threatening" content. I'm in social media to be rude and threatening to fascists and to support my rude, threatening friends.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

"I must carefully read this for research purposes!", I say as I open my comfort sci-fi saga for the umpteenth time, pencil in hand, ready to scribble hearts next to all my fav dialogue lines and, hopefully, underline some actually important stuff

"pronouns in bio" was the moderate stance, this time we're gonna forcefem everyone over 35

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

Captain Torture

once again fighting demons (zotero)

Un aspecto importante que hay que mirar es que, funcionalmente, una apariencia antropomórfica no es muy eficiente. Para el trabajo real, sería mejor ruedas, poleas, pinzas...

Psicológicamente, el empeño de los techbros en crear estos robots responde al deseo de sentirse amos de un ser esclavizado.
