Got a new google scholar notification, so I go check and find this very cool poem by Wang Jibing 王计兵, the recent Lu Xun prize winner, prefacing a PhD thesis on women migrant workers and the gig economy PhD students in all disciplines: more poems in theses please, we love to see them! ✨💫

between Microsoft killing Xbox, Sony shooting itself in the face, and now EA getting bought by this bullshit, the only game studios left will be Larian, CDPR, and some trans girl in her wife's basement painstakingly placing pixels one by one into a masterpiece that will be released in 40 years.

Sam Neill should have won an Oscar for this “help I’m being attacked by an invisible Chevy Chase” scene with a stupid looking plastic gun taped to the side of his head

Definitely. I knew on some level that if I lived long enough some people I knew would die, but I thought I would be older when it started.

when you're a kid you never realize how many dead people you'll know before you even hit 50. you'll meet someone and get to know them then they'll straight up perish. Probably one of the more surprising things for me honestly

Paraphrasing Jon Stewart, if you only stick to your principles when its easy, they aren't principles, they're hobbies.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

being online in 2025 is figuring out whether a post about how everything is bad refers to the general state of being alive, or refers to some specific news item that was just published

I wrote about the reaction to the shooting of a CEO. "It seems to me that when you create a world where human life has been made as cheap as possible, you will eventually find you live in a world where your human life is deemed by others to be cheap, too." www.the-reframe.com/peaceful-sol...

I grew up with TNG, only saw TOS as an adult. The infamous Space Hippie episode really surprised me when I finally saw it. While it's certainly not good, it's actually way more sympathetic to the hippies than I expected. (Though not the Timothy Leary expy.)
