I mean this is all very good analysis and fully drives home that that quote was 100% about Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du is fully fixated on him even when he thinks he's got a thing for Tao Ren, yes good, love this for us, keep going to the cultural center
😭
lived too briefly in a town with free public transit and it absolutely reduced cars on the road, although it also created a problem of not enough parking at the bus terminals where people drove in from out of town.
ahhhh right? free buses are just... revelatory haha.
ooooooooh ty ty
the poll was probably in response to the Iqiyi stuff, yeah? So even if the netizens might have normally been more accepting of AI, they were reacting to the idea of all our favorite actors being taken away and replaced by slop, so yeahhhhh
☝️☝️☝️☝️
also the current state of the world probably means our shoulders are taking on a metric ton more stress than they used to on the daily so PLEASE go get that massage! You and your shoulders deserve love too, i promise!
ugh that's so hellish. THE NEXT ERA OF THIS COUNTRY IS GONG TO FUND SO MANY BUSES AND TRAINS!
awwww yeah that seems like a lot to try to do spontaneously! maybe next time 🙏
i was going to DM you to be like UNREDACT MOTHERFUCKER but your DMs are off so i have to expose you to the world
that is a lie but also Luo Wenzhou, his wrists are blue and his lungs are black, what do you need words for
Petey Tchaikovsky's "We Don't Need Another Song About Vladivostok"
I just read this so so so many times in a row before I fully grasped that Petey Tchaikovsky was not teaching you Russian in eyeliner

I love how your alt text just dropped off at the last pic like it went speechless bc accurate
they're automated accounts like the @yibotnot.bsky.social that post content at specified times throughout the day, only the ones I'm referring to are dedicated to different modern artists (I followed bots for Chagall, Rothko, Klee, Cezanne)
Realizing with a jolt that all of my art bots stopped updating at the same time, 13 days ago
?!?!?! LISTEN I NEED THOSE ART BOTS WHO ELSE WILL HELP ME CELEBRATE PAUL KLEE'S DRUNK MOM OR THE DEAD FISH THAT LOOKS LIKE CHENG YI

I have to admit this looks like fun
(and no, I still have no idea whether the possible homicide victim was indeed a Black gay man who often wore feminine clothing, or a trans woman whose family keep trying to "correct" the reporting that most accurately represents their gender.)
screenshot of a terrible Google AI overview box claiming that a possible homicide victim identified as "a gay man who often wore feminine clothing."
screenshot of a terrible Google AI overview box, in a reload of the exact same search as in the previous image, this time claiming that the same possible homicide victim identified as "a transgender woman (often identified in reports as a gay man who presented femininely)."
screenshot of a terrible Google AI overview box, for the exact same search as in the previous two images, this time claiming that "based on search results, there is no widely reported Texas cold case regarding a 'Morgan' with the keyword 'trans'," referencing the widely reported Texas cold case I am searching about.
speechless. this was the exact same google search, reloaded three times:
ohhhhhhhhhh I know nothing about that one, I'll have to check it out soon!
Me trying to explain to my mom that in a few more months i will have zero dollars and my mom responding confidently with hamilton lyrics, ie assuring me that i will write my way out 😅
thanks, mom, i'd prefer not to be in whatever the equivalent of "destitute in a caribbean hurricane" is, but sure 😅
I'm assuming you've already read The Martian but if not, you definitely should! It's such a delightful reading experience.
alas I have a Revelation Space-shaped void in *my* heart that keep trying and failing to fill. The closest I've come since has actually been Adrian Tchaikovsky's Tyrant Philosophers, which scratches my brain in the same way, even though it's a second-world industrial fantasy, a v different vibe.
The Murderbot audiobooks are also wonderfully narrated, a complete delight
I actually "read" RS via audiobook while keeping the text handy when I got confused, and it did take me a while to orient myself, but man the story and galaxy brained sci-fi=chef's kiss, and I just loved the way that British gentleman's silky smooth-as-liquor voice imbued everything with GRANDEUR 😂
is this the most beautiful and powerful a human being has ever looked, probably
you are absolutely right except while everyone else is always losing their minds over Gu Yun I can only see Chang Geng my beautiful angry brilliant spitfire prince JUST FLYING AROUND ON THE BACK OF A WINGED SOLDIER LIKE HE'S SKATEBOARDING, FIRST SHOOTING ARROWS AT YOU AND THEN WINKING AT YOU! i stan
