For newly-dumped psychic Gabe, maybe Hallowe'en isn't such a dead end: distractingly hot Jude has also been ghosted on the steps of this haunted house. But will Gabe's light-hearted livestream turn dark in the shadow of the house's curse? #BluePit 📖 #W #A #PN #R #LGBT

This one time I was hired by the Royal Ontario Museum to dress up in a full dinosaur costume and encourage children to visit their touring exhibit. When a smug kid said, "You're not a REAL dinosaur, I can see your eyes" I hissed, "That's the child I ate for breakfast!" I was not offered more shifts.

Replace 'Knight Rider 2025' with 'Tesla Roadster' and we're good.

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

I knew this was where they were going with this when they did that government 'consultation' about misinformation. I outright stated in my responses that this was just an excuse to extend the license fee because the BBC feels entitled to it. Depressing to be right. Fuck the BBC.

“Can I ask you a question?” I never know how to answer this. Should I go with my first impulse, which is always “no” or just give in to the inevitable?

it's a fucking religion. almost everything they do is premised on the notion that they are creating a god that will save them. these are not serious people and they shouldn't be trusted

Every bloody time.

Your regular reminder that no TTRPG creator needs genAI to illustrate their games - incredible artists like this have made everything you need!

What films told us crippling infrastructure cyberattacks would be like: Traffic lights flashing, planes crashing, power grids shut down. What crippling infrastructure cyberattacks are actually like: Setting all the supermarket fridges across Europe to defrost. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

The funny thing about watching Take Charge Of My Heart was seeing the chaebol's assistant and going, "hang on, he looks really familiar," only to realise he's the bad guy's henchman that Ji-a terrified in Sell Your Haunted House, which I'd temporarily put aside to watch TCOMH. 😂

Age yourself with a childhood crush. Both. Both of 'em.

Next week's Chef & My Fridge guests are Sung-jun and Nam-no... two of the regular chefs. 😂 I can't help wondering if this is in part because Nam-no will happily eat anything the guests leave and pouts if there's no leftovers. The trailer looks incredible. 😂 "This is a step down!"

I wasn't expecting much from Take Charge Of My Heart as another of those 'quirky' dramas (woman struck by lightning as a child and now permanently charged meets grumpy chaebol with artificial heart needing a new battery, so they have to meet every day to charge his heart), but it was so cute!

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye. Ther ys no part of thee that evir koude be wrong.

🧪 probably a long shot, but: has anyone heard of a two-headed trout specimen named Cuthbert the Great? the specimen allegedly went to the AMNH in 1940 but the museum has no record of it. trying to track down Cuthbert. www.nytimes.com/1944/08/13/a...

So I'm just killing time on Pinterest, and I scroll past this pin and... and now I have to create a character slutty enough to wear this? (I could not find the source of the image, just more social media posts.)

Petition to stop Josh Hartnett being cast as a parent to adult children. Not because he's not old enough (he's older than me), but because he looks almost the same age as them and it's weird.

We need your input! When we published @realraelaw's The Curse of the Fart Witch, we made up a fake literary prize called the Golden Parp, for services to nonsense. We want to make this a real thing for 2027. Any ideas for criteria? (E.g., must make me snarf my tea out my nose). #TheGoldenParp27

Smol dog is asleep next to me and dreaming. I just watched her lip curl and had to gently pat her head and murmur, "it's okay, leave it alone," to get her to stop. 😂 Pretty sure she was dreaming about other dogs getting her squirrels.

Every AI feature being forced on us seems to offer the options of 'Yes', or 'Not right now' / 'Maybe later'. Seriously, give us 'No', 'Never', 'No Way', and 'Over my Dead Body' as options. Gather genuine intel.

in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

Smol dog is laying on my knee. She's just shifted her weight and let out the most distressingly human-sounding fart. 😂
