telling stories, making art: they're release valves for the churning gyre that is a human emotional experience. like, NO, good GOD, of course i don't want to have a machine do that FOR me. you want me to LIVE in here like that? with the gyre ever-churning? horrifying! grotesque! why even say it

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Five times the writers of the safety protocols narrowly averted a dangerous situation (and one time it went pear-shaped anyway)

there was a period on this social media site where talking about star trek with other women DIDN'T bring the world's most annoying men out of the woodwork to say bullshit to us. nothing gold can stay

my theory is that the holodeck also uses transporter/replicator technology for things like food or the smell of sea air

yeah - a two-parter mid-series, maybe. And Neelix's own kind is clearly a multi-species group, that's canonically something he likes about Voyager! So I like that idea.

Mind you, if S7 was gonna have another episode, it should've been Endgame Part III imo

I'm the same way. But I do believe things can be sacred and secular at the same time. I think making art and language are sacred things to our species.

it's not a great look! and in both cases it feels like a weird departure from all their previously stated values and goals?

awww yes! people are people, at any age, I think. all deserving of compassion, agency, trust; all capable of learning and solving problems. all capable of being little shits as well

all billionaires suck SO MUCH because any reasonable person with that amount of money would be doing this kind of thing at bare fucking minimum

the Mountain Goats @themountaingoats.bsky.social · 2d

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

I don't have any of those but I did just see this excellent snake and thought of you: bsky.app/profile/hill...

Hillary Monahan @hillarymonahan.bsky.social · 2d

[TW] Snake.

This is a magical creature

Her name is Mona. She's a pied ball python.

I would take her for walkies and hex republicans.

A stunning black and white python snake.
