I am having a very involved fantasy about rolling up a copy of The Final Question by Isaac Asimov, which spans billions of years, and hitting this teacher with it.

I think good teachers have inspired millions, but bad teachers have stifled and shamed and dissuaded billions.

It's been over a dozen years but every now and then I think about how my 11th grade English teacher told me I couldn't submit my short story for an assignment cause the story took place over like 6 months. She said short stories can only take place in a short period of time, like a few hours.

Today is World Mental Health Day 🪴

It’s okay to not be okay. You’re doing the best you can in a hostile and difficult world, and I’m proud of you for that.

Take time to do something kind for yourself today 🩵

Both are fine, but I do appreciate the way crashing out implies damaging yourself.

I like that they are using the pitch "give us money and Liam O'Brien will voice a sexy dragon-man who gets down with humans," it shows an understanding of their audience.

Text from Variety article, Oct 10 2025:

During the presentation, del Toro also candidly weighed in on the current debate over the threat of AI, and said it was important to "differentiate the term Al as a tool and Al as a proposal of generating creativity."

"If you look at a particle system that has been used in animation for more than 15 years, that system contains elements that could be seen as AI. Generative Al is a different conversation," said del Toro.

"A few months ago, somebody wrote me in a high position. They said, 'What is your stance about AI?' And I answered the email saying, 'I'd rather die."

When people say "gods and aliens contact the marvel universe all the time, everything should be different" I remember things like this.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

It was reasonable to infer he would hold a grudge, but it turned out he was just holding his dick.

Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. That is almost immaterial to the people in charge: the key factor is that you've heard of it and they can exploit that.

There is no reason to be confused. This is the fate of all IP with name recognition. There is no escape. It will come back until you accept that your duty is to pay for content, then get excited to keep paying for that content.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again
