That was an...interesting list. I'm guessing you were upset by KISS? :(

The Kennedy Center Honors?

Transformers Beast Wars predicted the new name for Republican Party:

Then, I'd try to enjoy the annoyance. :) it's a gift you don't know how long you'll have. ♥️

My ONLY complaint was that it was too short.

They'll stop. Then it'll start to feel like they forgot you. You'll miss the annoyance.

At least that's my experience.

I think he's like John Cena, a big enough name that he gets a variety of work, but never really got the respect he wanted or deserved.

That's an interesting perspective.

In my head that's the first indicator something is off about Mirror Lorca.

R2D2 isn't massacring dudes, though. I feel like R2 would see some of Chopper's shenanigans and be all

Discuss.

I would LOVE to see how the sister writes herself as the victim in this situation.

Oh, and look!

If only everyone with a lick of sense and a hint of empathy in this country hadn't said this was going to happen.

I've never seen a cat say "where the FUCK have you been" with just his eyes before.

The original post was about giving a precocious kid sci-fi novels. All you folks who still insist on talking about the Grandmasters and the Year's Best Sci-fi from 1990 are completely missing Scalzi's point: new stuff exists. Why can't we talk about it?

"All Biden had to do was..."
"If only Kamala had..."

No. If you hadn't gotten wrapped up in your TikTok cause of the moment, and if you'd had the brains to actually understand and vote for harm reduction, the Nation's Capitol wouldn't be under military occupation.

This is your fault.

How precocious? I'd say a smart ten year old could get into the Red Rising series or the Kaiju Preservation Society, the Death stranding adaptation...

Have you succumbed to the pressure of proving yourself an idiot every time you open your mouth? I had gay characters in books I wrote in the 1970s. They're part of the human landscape. So are trans folks. Why don't you fuck off, hey?

...even more ways to divide the working class.

...scale?

There are more than enough things that divide us right now. I'd so much rather we get together and force these AI giants to treat artists fairly, and use technologies that don't require enormous amounts of resources (great work coming out of Asia on that front) instead of finding...

...individuals rejecting the technology are going to have any effect on any of us being able to keep our jobs. This is like the environmental debate: is it better to go after your neighbor who doesn't recycle or the corporation that chooses manufacturing processes that destroy the environment at...

...its use is mandatory. My job, as an example, REQUIRES that I not only be able to use it, but that I know enough about it that I can assess its use and whether it's being used "safely" ( a relative term, I know). Many of you are using it without even knowing it.

We're past the point where ...

I get the complaints about AI, particularly in creative fields. I've made posts before about the difference between "art" and "images." But some of y'all come after folks who use it like they're responsible for the wastefulness of the technology. For most people in the "information economy..."

Happily for me id already gone through the right wing period.

In news about inflation for the last 6 months, there is very little about political consequences or who voters “blame” for inflation now. Why has the policy link to inflation been abandoned as a narrative in the media?

“Restaurants are under threat as costs skyrocket and consumers cut back”

screenshot from a social media post. the top entry says "As an xmen fan who's getting into Star Trek can I just say I am Not used to seeing Patrick Stewart standing up." The bottom entry says "Picard: walks. My dumbass: Charles your legs."

Forrest Gump voice: "Magic legs..."

Very good, very depressing. I really got into the New Atheists, decade or so ago. Krauss wrote a Star Trek book 20 or maybe even 30 years ago and he became a rock star to me.

I have got to get a couple pieces of your art one day!

I don't think the Skydance/Paramount Political Officer will allow that to get past the initial Teams meeting.
