The cat is playing on the stairs in the dark, and I can tell bc it's like SCAMPER SCAMPER MUFFLED GONG SOUND and the muffled gong sound is running full body into the cast iron stair bannister. I assume she's fine bc she just keeps going.

She has a purple fuzzy ball (new, bc she lost 3 previous fuzzy balls, even though we only got her in March), and she flings it up and down the stairs and chases it.

I think I just hit a middle age milestone, which is that I was on Poshmark and an item was labeled "90s Eddie Bauer sweater" and I knew FOR A FACT that someone I knew in college had that sweater.

OK, publishing, I regret to inform you that it is time to retire the "A ___'S GUIDE TO ____" title. Please take that thing out back and put it out of its misery.

The fact that we've agreed to call these gambling sites "prediction markets" furthers their bullshit. They predict nothing and it's a disgrace that news orgs have partnered with them and pretend they have news value. THEY'RE JUST A BUNCHA LOSERS GAMBLING.

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

My parents retired and moved to central Florida, where they kayak a lot. My dad sends wildlife to the group text. "Bear" "Manatee" "Owl" "Back half of an alligator" Can I just say "back half of an alligator" (first of all I have so many questions) will haunt me the rest of my life

An interviewer once asked Charles Schulz if he had ever considered hiring assistants to write/draw Peanuts for him. Schulz laughed and responded “I’d just as soon hire someone to play golf for me!”

a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I know this is a niche complaint I make all the time, but I need to know the thought process of people who take 8 of the same picture of a piece of fabric they are selling, but can't be bothered to throw a ruler down on top of it for scale. Or a quarter. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS???

Time traveled to the 50s this week! New era for me... I usually sew 40s and Victorian. (I may have to start another tiny historical sewing thread, the other one got chaotic)

I found a folder full of old cat pics, and I think these are the first pics I ever took of Jolee Bindo. He was just a baaaaaby. (Not really, he was 3-4 when I got him) #catsofbluesky #catsky #siamesemix

Same with me and self pub. If I have to, I will. But I'm not a marketer, cover designer, PR person, etc. I just don't wanna. I want to be paid a salary to do the thing I do, which is write.

“You can just start your own studio!” Brother I do not WANT to own a business. I don’t want to be anybody’s boss. I want to write, which is the thing i’m good at!!!

I’m sure you’re tired of AI rage bait. Me too. I would like to talk about something else. Something better. But I can’t be silent about insidious things like this, that are in fact abominations. Now this 6yo expects to grow into a yassified childlike model and not the real woman she will become

I think the thing about AI and small business owners is that previously the design would have to be run past either a second person who know some amount of design, or they'd learn photoshop and some amount of design with it now they can ask the AI to do their bad design and the AI never says no

Honestly higher than I expected, which in itself is depressing. I'm at 48 on the year. 57 last year, but I had a broken foot. Still may get there though, we'll see. I've been reading a lot lately.

This post is unavailable.

I probably read more, but I don't track most nonfiction on my Storygraph. I read an absolute shitload of history books, but when I'm reading for research I don't usually sit and read the whole book straight through, just the relevant bits.

Gamergate is a major pillar of modern global fascism.

also, kushner and the saudis explicitly want to tear down the queer culture espoused by bioware, in addition to diversifying their income from the world moving away from oil.

For @gamespot.com, I revisited BioWare's history of queer representation and how it always strove to depict LGBTQ characters and stories with nuance and respect. It wasn't always perfect, but gaming wouldn't be where it is today without Mass Effect or Dragon Age. www.gamespot.com/articles/bio...

gamespot.comBioWare Is No More, But Its Impact On Queer Representation In Video Games Will Live On ForeverQueer representation in video games wouldn’t be the same without BioWare.

It's so wearying that every industry is like this now. OK, so we don't have space for beloved, well-crafted, media anymore that makes only *some* money and is successful in its niche, but not a giant blockbuster? We only deserve sports games and reality TV?

IGN@ign.com

Games industry analysts told IGN that BioWare was likely doomed well before EA’s $55 billion acquisition, explaining that games like Mass Effect are now considered “prestige projects” for the company. https://bit.ly/4zTJE0q

We can't get a nice lil funny movie or a mid-popular book series anymore. Everything has to be an EVENT or it wasn't worth doing, and I'm tired of it.

According to this morning's Times Pic, both people in the truck survived, even though one apparently wasn't wearing a seatbelt and went through the windshield. Luckiest guys ever whew

Holy shit someone seems to have broken a big hole through the barrier and fallen off I-10 Eastbound near the N. Claiborne exit!! Needless to say don’t go that way right now #nolasky #neworleans

It's true, sewing is a drag because you have to sift through fake images, fake patterns, fake fake fake. Every hobby we used to love sharing on the internet is ruined.

Every single hobby I love has has been infected by slopped up and unserious software. It's exhausting. aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobbie...

Grateful for journalism that's out here asking the real questions the people want to know the answers to

Vulture@vulture.com

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5

oh man, I went on errands that got derailed by a truck falling off the highway, but SFF Bluesky really CAME THROUGH! thanks everyone!!

SFF people: looking for a very specific rec! Sci fi published in the last... let's say 10 yrs... that involves SPACE SALVAGE or SPACE JUNKYARDS I wanna read about space junkyards!

man what the hell, this looks like it would have been fun! underworld-y stuff after the reaper war? appearances from long-lived characters from the trilogy? brb crying into my beer

Game Informer@gameinformer.com

Following BioWare's closure, a trailer for the now-cancelled Mass Effect 5 appears to have leaked online. Reporters from IGN and Bloomberg claim the footage is legitimate. gameinformer.com/report/2026/...

JUST got a text alert about this. It happened an hour and 45 minutes ago! Never change, New Orleans 🙄

I passed this going uptown, right after it happened. Holy shit! Of course this is my exit 🙃 there’s a huge hole in the railing on the side of I-10
