Haha no I'm sorry if this came across as an accusation I've just seen it a LOT today and yesterday and was wondering if something happened (wishful thinking that the industry imploded?). Jealous of the snickers though 😅

Morgan K. Bell @morgankbell.bsky.social · 1d

Is there any particular reason this post is making the rounds right now? I've seen it quote tweeted a bunch in the past couple days but it's from four months ago. Anyway yes I agree AI industry should perish

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

I definitely preferred Heinlein's "Beautiful genius woman engineer is weirdly horny all the time" sexism to Niven's "brainless dipshit Eugenics Girl who exists to cause problems for and also bang the main character" sexism

If I had a nickel for every time I read a book where a feral bisexual disaster bullshits her way through murder college to get revenge for her dead parents I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but

this is true I just went to Portland and the bookstore was the main thing I wanted to do lol

Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror) @sadiehartmann.bsky.social · 2d

Can confirm. I've been there.

"Portland isn't a war zone, it's a bookstore with a city around it."

I think this is a huge part of it, I like working from home as a writer because I can have my cozy little writing nook with dim lighting and fairy lights and not the glaring white fluorescent open office setup where I feel like an exposed little field mouse out in the open with hawks circling above

I do not have nearly enough time to plan such a thing but it would be cool to do a medieval themed 40th birthday party because I'm ~middle aged~

listening to a 90s playlist like the walking middle aged stereotype that I am and thinking how "Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" is personified by Biggie and P Diddy

There was a famous book of software engineer interview practice questions around 10 years ago where the author refused to make an ebook version available because "unemployed people will just pirate it" which is PROBABLY NOT WRONG but I always felt coming out and saying it was kinda dickish

The Lego Movie 2 is astonishingly self aware about how Chris Pratt got too famous too quickly and it went to his head and turned him evil, but back in 2017 or whenever that movie came out he still had a sense of humor about it, now I'm not so sure he would
