Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade. That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

great news

The replies and quotes to this were full of polio vaccine and antibiotics but dudes. Smallpox. We eradicated smallpox so hard that people don't even think about it anymore. A disease that is estimated to have killed 300 million people in the 20th century alone is just GONE.

I promise I am not trying to be hyperbolic and this is my genuine reaction having just got out: That is the best film of 2026, the single most technically beautiful and artistically inspiring film I've ever seen, and one of the best fantasy stories in any medium. My god, what an achievement

LOOK AT THIS SHIT THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER I LOVE HUMANITY I LOVE ART

He's such a phony. His wife's name was Usha Chilukuri when they met. His in-laws names are Radhakrishna and Lakshmi Chilukuri. He was married in a Hindu ceremony presided over by a Hindu priest.

Lot of comments on this slamming the writer for "legitimizing" AI slop by reviewing it, but just one of those points I fundamentally disagree on! A critic should absolutely be engaging with garbage and articulating what makes it garbage!

Scene That Took Stop-Motion Animator 120 Hours To Make Texted Through

NEW: Remedy's latest game, Control Resonant, is filled with art galleries. The galleries are filled with real art When I began talking to Remedy about it, I was delighted to discover who the artists are: many are the game developers' parents My story... www.gamefile.news/p/control-re...

watching a toddler undo childproof locks is a real "velociraptors in Jurrasic Park" moment

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I really hate to admit it but with inflation etc., I need to ask for help to provide for her.

The way AI startups are just sucking your data and trying to sell it back to you reminds me of what startups were doing back in the blog era of the early 2010s. It stinks. tedium.co/2026/10/27/a... new @tedium.co

You're laughing. I'm trying to get people to to click on "hey guys it's not hard to figure out why farmers love Trump, he's opening up whole new types of farm slavery" as much as they click on "here's some more gossip about Ballerina Farm" & you're laughing

I rounded up 13 bone-chilling Indigenous horror reads that’ll crawl under your skin and into your dreams. Stephen Graham Jones is back with Off the Reservation, Never Whistle at Night returns for blood, and writers from Alaska to Aotearoa are bringing the scares. redpopnews.com/13-bone-chil...

they did those things & also made the new Battlestar Galactica! Partly to say, "WE DID TELL YOU, here are some Oscar nominees so you LISTEN this time" [not technically shilling for my book because it doesn't come out til 2028, but this right here 👇 was a notable part of the underpinnings of BSG]

32% of eligible US voters chose Trump in 2024, yet it was presented in the American media as an amazing landslide. Lula's reelection was significantly bigger, but it will be presented as eking out a win.

a lot of fandomites will protest when you say it, but fandom has been like that from the start, much more obsessed with an attachment to the idea of intellectual property than to cultural and creative expression beyond or independently of capitalism.

In apartment hunting news, I have someone who's offering to match my moving fund, up to 2k!!! I have a month to get out of here so it's really full steam ahead now, & I still gotta pay my full rent 🙏🏾🍀🤞🏾 Weekly goal: $600 by 11/1 cash.app/$sotreu2 venmo.com paypal.me/rikiam #MutualAid #HelpSky

i say His for the obvious reason that you never hear an older woman say this stuff. ‘i love my little boy toy he isn’t all ran through and full of expectations like the men my age’ like you can’t even hear that IN YOUR IMAGINATION

obviously i have no problem with an age gap except when the older one in the relationship openly admits his relief that the younger one is too inexperienced to realize she’s too good for him

I'm not criticizing those who are showcasing the accomplishments of scientists, artists, and writers to debunk RFK Jr.'s comments but I think it's also important to treat them not as ignorance, but as the outright malice they are. He made those comments to claim a US citizen is unfit for the Senate.

Bluesky has four kinds of users

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

If you were wondering HOW historically inaccurate Elon Musks "historically accurate" grok generated video version of the odyssey could possibly be? This thread is for you. Nome gives up (rightly) on the countless AI glitches (they're not hallucination) & just goes to town on the anachronisms 🫡

Literally the first shot of this "historically accurate" Odyssey movie shows a boat that A) Has no steering oar. B) Is under full sail *and* full rowers while entering a cave, presumably to dock inside.

These are not Bronze Age Greek Ships. The curving thing, that they want to put at the front and back of the ship? That should only be at the back. What these are, instead, are bronze age Nordic longboats.

i've been talking a lot lately about fairy tales and darkness and childhood and the dangers of sanitized storytelling and it sort of feels like this movie was made to test my commitment to the bit 😂

man, go see it. ideally with an 11yo who can announce "that was NOT the prologue of the book" about four minutes in

It genuinely does suck and is *bad* that it feels like there’s almost nowhere to go for people who 1. Want to work on robotics (like drones) and 2. Don’t want to build weapons.
