At an Easter family thing and an adult man is watching something called “cartoon recaps” where an AI voice relays a synopsis of episodes of Avatar the Last Airbender and I guess my main thing is if you don’t have enough time for the entire episode of cartoons you can probably just not worry about it

@scumbelievable.bsky.social Hello Gretchen, just wondering if you have plans to publish Wyrm as a book or otherwise in a single collected format? I seem to remember you mentioning that in the past and there was something about illustrations as well?

in retrospect the history of television as a medium was always derivative slop and we all got to exist in a short bubble between the lead poisoning era and the AI slop years where sometimes something got made for people who can focus their full attention on a small screen for an hour

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says “Henry Kissinger died.” Man says “Oh holy shit this rules. This is so great thank you so much. Fuck
