So I forgot I actually kinda liked this piece I made a long time ago and I've felt some of my energy returning so..... Maybe more to come?

This is why I be loving the motif of the villain who's not relatable and the villain's pawn or side kick who is. Whether they get redeemed or not. I'm still out here pulling for Helga Sinclair.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

For everyone who was excited about a possible assassin's creed against the klan, go read Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark, it will scratch the itch and then some, I promise. (Also the audio book is real good if physical reading is a struggle for you)

I am so mad this didn't happen, and I hate hate hate gamerbros with all the fire of a thousand suns. May their every Call of Duty glitch their machine until it melts.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Absolute favorite memory of Jane Goodall was her, without missing a beat, saying she thinks there's definitely some truth to the myth of Sasquatch.

you can set a fucking clock to it! it'd be funny if it wasn't so goddamn depressing!

anyway they've already got me blocked but let it be known that swords and "sapphics" podcast is not a friend to lesbians, trans women, or anyone who isn't white

Benjanun Sriduangkaew @benjanun.bsky.social · 14d

They have, uh, removed every single transfem author that was in the bundle. I was joking when I said they want to make 'sapphic spaces' all-TME all-white again. 'Single-sex spaces for discussing sex-based rights' here they come.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

If anyone is looking for a fun activity, try finding local offices (especially for shitty corpos) that have an outdoor buzzer. Take a small rock and a strip of heavy duty duct tape and stick it so that it holds the door buzzer down. Then run away cackling like the joker. Have fun! 😊
