Tempted to make an X account again just to tell Musk repetedly that he is a waste of oxygen and organic matter

This should set off a siren in every defence ministry in Europe: there needs to be much more urgency about developing autonomous capabilities, not subject to US caprices, for early warning of attacks, countering ballistic missiles, communicating with forces or controlling offensive weapons.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

I am watching in real time my whole field of work shrink and shrink because everyone is trying to replace people with AI and I'm getting very nervous for my own position. And AI is doing a terrible job so far but not that any CEO cares

We are getting the love hypothesis sequel before the hunt for ben solo or episode x Disney really doesn't want my money

I am watching Love Hypothesis and having the time of my life. This is what my little Reylo dreams are made of ❤️

Why Harry Potter tv series reboot when The Hunger Games is right there? They could've rebooted with actual 16 year old actors, gone into the worldbuilding that was missing from the first movies and shown the character growth more than superficially.

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

After like 15 years I am trying to sell something on ebay again And my lord I forgot how annoying it is to list something there. There's so much info you need to enter. How they have not developed a system like Vinted I will never know

I love HEA in fics, the romance, occassionally even excessive fluff But for some reason I cannot stand scenes with public declarations of love? Or public proposals? Why am I like this?

There's no greater hope than the one of a fic reader who after reading until 4am clicks on subscribe on a fic that hasn't been updated in years

There are still Lorde tickets left for Arena Pula concert (one of the most preserved Roman arenas in the world) but I have 2 small kids at home and can't make it work so I go 🥲

Non native English fic writers who write in English! A question for you! How do you make sure the language and grammar is acceptable? Beta readers? Spellcheks or some programmes? I have this idea for a story for years but I'm very nervous about butchering it with my English

RIP Glen Hansard, your music has given me so much joy. From old Frames albums, to solo new ones, to heartwarming live sessions from your kitchen during the pandemic, to the best live performances I have ever seen. You will be missed

The knowledge of how many innocents’ deaths he is directly responsible for is clearly tormenting Musk psychologically, and I think he should be confronted with it roothlessly at every opportunity until he has a psychological break like the guy in The Tell-Tale Heart.

Ah, the wonderful daily ritual of taking off my glasses to put on a shirt and then having to search for those glasses while I see absolutely nothing

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

I recently read a story set 2000-2002 and characters were taking pictures with their phones, whatsapping and using a phone light. There was none of that then, it was age of Nokia 3310. And it got me a) feeling old because I know this b) realizing how difficult it is to write something set just...

I'm on mat leave and I opened my corporate email after a long time today. And all corp comm emails I got are AI and more AI I'm so sick of it that I don't want to go back after mat leave. But also have nowhere to go where this won't happen for the type of work I do

dear god PLEASE let this also lead to a wider acceptance that treatment needs to include *improving quality of life* and not just "how to make them have baby"

In audiobooks it seems that women reading male characters written by women >>>> men reading male characters written by women Especially if the character is supposed to be a "strong silent type" or "slightly arrogant but very charming". When read by men both of these end up sounding like assholes

Of course not all the time, but quite often in my experience. Is it because men don't fully get what women find attractive in those types of characters so they can't make them sound appealing? Or is it just that they're tricky characters to get right? Or both maybe?

Film you've watched more than six times with gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli

Organic flower farm. I neither have the land or the money to do it, but I do love flowers and don't love how many pesticides are used in the flower industry

Take a break from the discourse and quote this with a business you would want to start if you could afford to lose money on it

This is a finished fic, and was still really good. But this just reminds me how great Reylo fandom is, even the tagging is better than in other fandoms

Stages of getting into fanfiction Newb: I will just read canon, no AUs for me, mature rating tops, everything else is too much Experienced: any AU, any rating (mostly E though), non canon pairings Veteran: will read crackship fic for a fandom I don't even belong to, with 50 TWs & a dead dove tag

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”
