[P] Took me WAAAY too long to correct a grievous oversight in my filmgoing resume, but finally saw SPEED RACER tonight, in IMAX.
It was a glorious sensory overload, and I mean that in absolutely the most positive, flattering way possible. Thank you, @lillywachowski.bsky.social!
"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"
yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
Here's wishing every single hospital administrator who complied in advance a very wakes up in a cold anxious sweat every day until they a) reverse course and b) apologize.
Oh, he's as bat**** as his wife.
The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"
Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
What’s your favorite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)
1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Sometimes you just wanna draw Michiru in a negligee and the rest of the narrative builds from there.
God, I love these two. One of my favorite fictional couples of all time.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!
It seems many of you have gotten a jump start on your #MTGStrixhaven education! We're proud to be in the New York Times Bestseller ✨Top 10✨for Hard Cover Fiction.
Congratulations Seanan!
The thing about Platner is that he'll screw up, make some statement, and it's supposed to be fine. Has he met with disabled folks in Maine? Met with advocacy groups? Understood the harm of the word and how the disabled are under attack?
He never does the work required to be worthy of redemption.
They could seriously crowdfund a buyout and it would be funded in a day. Coop ownership AND ICE CREAM!
People shocked by this kind of violence need to realize our society increasingly makes this the most rational choice for any kind of moral justice
abigail spanberger is out here canceling tax breaks for confederate groups and getting rid of confederate license plates and i for one think this is absolutely wonderful for the centrist wing of the democratic party

Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos by Seanan McGuire, and the Command Tower card that it came with
Finished Omens of Chaos tonight. It's a fun, light-hearted romp and a perfect palette cleanser from all of the Warhammer novels I'd been reading. @seananmcguire.bsky.social did an excellent job of giving the Magic nerds a lot to chew on while making the book perfectly accessible to everyone else.
You can lead adventurers to water but you can‘t make them take goddam notes …
They’re a private company! They’re not a government! And they are NOT a smol, helpless bean!
They can 100% decide what doesn’t meet their quality standards. Geocities said No Nazis 30 years ago and it wasn’t a problem because Nazi is not a protected category anywhere on earth!
This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"
first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND A FRESH FICTION FOR YOU -- reprint of a story i sold fifteen (15!) years ago, a bit of post-wwi scifi/horror featuring raging automata, which is probably not a metaphor or anything
A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"
I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.
Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

Dear children:
Yes, your elders did see a space shuttle explode at school. Live (or on no more than a 2-3 minute delay). And we got no care for it.
Yes, Helen Keller was real. It’s profoundly ableist to say otherwise.
Yes, birds are real.
Yes, Youtube rots your brain in unique ways.
Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze
