As shit clamps down I would like to see things like personal websites and rss and forums return, we need to stop relying on the same 3 damn sites to be our Internet
These things were the norm for ages, maybe we can reforge it

The entire internet ended up being run by like three dudes with identical politics

If you're willing to grant translators a wide berth, Maria Dahvana Headley's translation of Beowulf ("hashtag blessed" and all) is a real enjoyable listen
Richard Ferrone nails the hard-boiled gangster patois narrating Red Harvest

Why don't we try to reclaim some of the real world we've ceded in exchange for this internet wasteland and our entertainment industries speculated upon and focus-grouped to death?
Pitch plays and theater as "IRL movies" or some shit...

Sharing here a long thread I just shared on Threads about Zuckerberg. Yes, I encouraged folks to come to Bluesky. Anyway, pull up a chair.

Melancholy of the soul is realizing your webnovel isn't uniquely catered toward bots and OF models. I really thought I cracked a new demographic for subpar writing online

Gaming after a 10+ year hiatus and already I have a cold hot take: default Sekiro isn't hard.
It's time-consuming trial-and-error, but it's just Dance Dance Bushido Blade. Attack until it’s time to jump, dodge, or deflect. You've got 5-10 heals and a revive. Cheat!
Trust me, I'm not that good
