It really bothers me that the new INK song's chorus uses half-rhymes ("down"/"loud") and then breaks that scheme with "God can't save us" instead of "God can't save us now," which I think would have fit the meter better anyway.

My throat is so sore that I cannot sleep due to the pain. We have no throat medication in this apartment. I am laying here, awake and in agony, waiting for the pharmacy to open.

Are all imperial declines this absurd, or are we special?

I think I would switch Gonzo and Pepe, to be honest.

A movie star!

Thinking once again about the obscure X-Men side character, Bernard the Poet, whose first appearance consists of what may be one of the all time greatest Stan Lee dialogue exchanges:

A clear niche that no other sites were catering to was served up to them on a silver platter. They won the game without having to play it. And they are SO MAD that they did lmao

Bluesky managed to become extremely popular after Musk drove Twitter into the ground and caused a mass exodus, and it's so funny how this site's owners have been furious about their own good fortune ever since.

No, @thebookseller.com this is not the full list of books used to train Anthropic’s AI. It excludes many books (including mine) that were stolen and used but which do not meet the specific criteria of the settlement. Books not copyrighted in the US are excluded, so UK editions get nothing.

Once again: Hegseth is the exact type of guy The Art of War was written for, which means he will never read it

It's gonna be so fucking funny if these dipshits manage to alienate the military from the GOP.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

I am less excited for Remake part 3 than I was before I finished part 2.

I finally finished FF7 Rebirth last night and I am so torn. On the one hand, the game was fantastic. On the other, all the multiverse nonsense and Sephiroth constantly mugging the camera really detracted from the experience, and that final battle was kind of a slog.

"Magic has become a vehicle for someone else's nostalgia" is a devastating but accurate description.

I think our entire global economic system should just be thrown out so we can try again with something different, tbh

There's a remake of Crimson Butterfly in the works, so fingers crossed!

I would love to see change to address climate disaster, whether that's with making a wish at a carnival's Zoltar machine or decarbonization policies.

New chapter of my sword and sorcery webnovel went up today: nessalir.carrd.co

I'm going to be handing out little flyers with a short story and a QR code to my linktree this weekend, so I just cleaned up my linktree and made it look all nice and organized: linktr.ee/seannwritess...

At long last, the end of this current arc is in sight. I am happy to announce that "The Bandits of Caelus Pass" will end with its 20th chapter, and the Nessalir the Red will move on to new adventures!
