Why yes! I do indeed plan to watch the last episode of Bleach like it's a religious event that has taken 26 years of my life to culminate. And yes! probably will sob uncontrollably at moments. Thanks for asking.

When I think someone was like give me hundreds of millions to build a massive datacenter in a suburb of Death Valley... and rich asshats just threw it at them... Hot, dry, poor infrastructure... what could go wrong?

LOL

VisionQuest isnt bad (Justice for Wanda). I like the synthezoidspawntwink, when he speaks Italian. And the various father/son interactions are fun. I too would like Paul Bettany to come inform me he's my Daddy also... 🥹.

If I ever get a bit sad I think... what would Ayumi Hamasaki do youtube.com/watch?v=ZSOl...

I loved this 2nd one. I admit it definitely has spiritual resonance with Herbert's Dune, yet... between the bisexual lead and effortless genderqueer dusting amidst an ethnic pluralism, it leaves its literary ancestor's chauvinism in the dust. It is deliciously subversively anti-A.I. in theme too.

The Dutch PM and his partner are very cute. They make me less hopeless for the world.

Replaying some Skyrim, got amused by randomly generated matchups you can witness. For instance, vampire vs mammoth. Kinda goes how you'd expect, yet highly entertaining when you come across it in gameplay.

Naomi Tamura’s Unyielding Wish as an insert song for the end credit to the 1st Ep. made me tear up a bit. 🥹

I was trying to explain "The Chinese Room" thought experiment as a critique of AI to my partner recently. The closest I could come up with is "AI can pretend to have a mind, but cannot pretend to have a soul". It's rough, but it opened the door to the conversation. :)

I've loved anime since I discovered Dragonball (not Z) at age 17... I need more than 9 slots here 😅

What a time to be alive... Facebook is effectively banning Virginia Woolf.

Calling Andrew Garfield a hypocrite for his proletariat statements is dumb. His net worth is 16 million, he can afford a couple nice houses. Altman, Amodei are multi-billionaires... Sam has 250x the wealth of Garfield (and OpenAI has not even gone public yet). American inability to do math 😩.

Woke up with that song Julie Brown did in Earth Girls Are Easy in my head... hope she's doing ok.

Fuck. Orihime... dude.

My least favorite thing about insomnia is the not sleeping. 🫪🫩😩🥱

I buried my plums too deep, but otherwise this Marian Burro's Plum Torte f_cks so hard omg.

What is light... without dark? What are you... without me? I am a part of you all. 🥀

So baby now you feel like number one Shining bright for everyone Living out your fantasy The brightest star for all to see

Controversial take, Teenage Dirtbag is 90s genre music, though it was technically released in 2000

If you see this, you're legally obligated to quote with your favorite Star Wars character

First CD I ever owned, not too shabby a choice I think. Undone was a repeat for a while.

Post your favourite Disney princess Wrong answers only

So the tech OpenAI stole from Apple was for a hemorrhoid pillow??? 🤔

Nocturne is still the tightest, most comprehensive execution of the Shin Megami Tensei series they ever made. And the HD remake is a ton of fun.

I am already over this week.

I predict this is the solution to demographic problems created by China's one-child policy.

I am always amazed how effective inseam length is in picking of the 🚬 boys in an airport or train station.

Rewatching XMen 97 season 1, I forgot how deliciously subversive it is. Magneto's speech alone in ep 2 gave me chills. Xmen for me always presents this radical view of identity, morality and of existential freedom I want to see more in the world.

Having relatively mild asthma I forget I even had the condition in good times. These are not good times.

HOLD ONTO THAT DREAM! DON'T LET GO THE ROAD WILL NEVER END

gopuffing breakfast and making intentions for later bad decisions (while dreading opening my laptop) is really all I can do with this smog.

The long form essay... just reading this feels like stretching muscles AI is causing to atrophy.
