NGL the revelation that the author of books that were vital to the survival of the rebellion (aka my mental health) is a malingering scrotal polyp, has been jarring to say the least. Goddamnfuckshit.

After further interrogations and suggestions (thank you for the thoughts everyone!)… In the spirit of the Turing Test, I propose the Cripslock Test: No system can be called AGI if that system cannot reliably determine whether or not it is spewing absolute bullshit. (Named for Sacharissa Cripslock)

I hate when they take away things you were just starting to really enjoy, like your favorite TV show or democracy.

There's no need to be a sexist, transphobic dickhead when "Elongated Muskrat" is RIGHT THERE.

Fascists preferring a cesspool to an echo chamber. Consider me unsurprised.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement? Me: Definitely. How specific can we get? Publisher: As specific as you like.

I guess "I Voted (for fascism so I could be a piece of shit to people I don't see as people)"wouldn't fit on the sticker.

Wow, it's really great learning about history via reenactment.

Maybe we were too hard on JJ Abrams for "Somehow Palpatine returned."

I once gave myself a black eye with a 2 litre bottle of Coke when I tripped and dropped it, and the lid caught me full in the face on the rebound.

Best advice any of us can get: "So I turned to the people you turn to when times get tough: Librarians."

After 10 years of picking fights about this topic in the bird place, let me start anew here: A reminder on the anniversary of the 1881 invasion of Parihaka that the town of Stratford where I was born still has a pub named after one of those invaders. The logo has his famous hat

Let's see some cats.

Apparently my blurred vision is a side effect of my new medication. May last days/weeks. 0/10 cannot recommend.

Farewell to the indomitable spirit of Janey Godley. A real one who knew when to call a cunt a cunt. Rest in joy you absolute legend.

It’s difficult to understate the importance of Greg’s work—specifically on Terry Brooks’ Shannara, LOTR, and Magic: The Gatheting—for inspiring my lifelong love of fantasy. A true legend. RIP.

Best pareidolia ever.

Stephen King's Carrie isn't a horror film it's a cautionary tale about bullying
