I’d have way less of an issue with Baby Yoda being named Grogu if that didn’t happen around the same time as Roger in American Dad birthing his homunculus Rogu.

Probably The Two Towers, which I was pressured to attend on opening night.
I'm not a Tolkien fan, I didn't want to go to a midnight movie, and I REALLY didn't want to spend fifteen dollars to sleep for three hours and then wake up and drive home to go to bed.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

I don’t want to hijack a friend’s thread, but her story reminded me of the time doctors told me and my mom that she had stomach cancer.
“There’s a tumor in her stomach, and that’s pretty much always cancer,” they said. “She’s gonna have to have surgery to remove most of her stomach,” they said.

Laughing at journalists who say if Bluesky was nicer to them there’d be more journalists here like…you don’t know your audience AT ALL.
Trying to shame Bluesky into behaving the way you personally want is like trying to keep a cat off a counter.
That cat is gonna be on the counter EVEN MORE now.

So it seems like my once radical position of “the existence of a border implies the violence needed to defend it so in order to end all war we must abolish all borders” is becoming mainstream

The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.

Open borders create more safety than closed ones, and most of the benefits of safety are downriver from being the sort of people who keep their borders open, thereby avoiding the terrible dangers inherent to being the sort of people who would keep their borders closed.
The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

A system built to eat people never stops eating people.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

First off, you’re not going to like it, but you need to watch this because it’s the only way you’ll believe it exits.
Second, I had zero doubt they were drinking milk until they left “WHOLE MILK” on the screen for an unusually long time in a drippy white font, but now I’m convinced it’s semen.

No. If someone makes a movie of my work, it’s because that someone was a human who found something in the work that spoke to them — and that they felt would be a story that spoke to a whole AUDIENCE of actual humans.
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity
