Have you considered not being the kind of dickhead who relies on AI overviews

I hate that Troy Baker is a genuinely talented voice actor because he's also a terribly petty and insufferable human being.

The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

Yes.

CNN reported about Motherless, which hosts among other things somnophilia content (real or simulated), and a Telegram group of about 1,000 members. They said that Motherless had 62 million views over February.

This was relayed through twitter as '62 million men attended a rape workshop'

Not to distract too much the figure is bullshit because they arrived at that conclusion from 'aggregate views of the entire Motherless website'

It was and still is wild how this guy got to be an open Gater, changed or apologized for none of it, and everyone chose to ignore or make defenses for it with KCD2.

Two unlikely game studios have joined forces to create Forbidden Solitaire.

king's quest reverse isekai where king graham is spirited away to the modern day and can now die from things like "stood too close to the glass at the aquarium" and "whanging his nuts on a bicycle seat"

The difficult thing is that you need to be both pretentious about art so you can have serious stimulating talks about it and also you need to be able to enjoy good "low" art without being pretentious about it, but also without letting just any slop in. Did we ever find a way to balance this out

Breaking Point – a right-wing talking shop founded by former Ógra Aontú chair Dean Céitinn – is abandoning even the thinnest pretense of being a forum for debate and just holding a rally for the right

Exactly one year ago today:

(The irony here is that even 'yes but not a good fit' sounds even more 👀 )

At the risk of putting my foot in my mouth, did you consider New Edge, Old Moon Quarterly, Swords & Sorcery or Whetstone?

Every generation needs its Galaxy Quest: a movie that, despite every individual element screaming that it can't be good, is actually good

I remember the day he became Pope my circle (mostly Irish) were fretting about 'a Yank Pope' and we've actually been fair pleased with him lately lol

May I ask why you feel like it'd require a different persona?

I’m increasingly convinced that fandom has become a reactionary phenomenon

What was once an anti-corporate, pro-queer transformative experience has turned into a form of identity politics where fandom participants identify w/ their favorite series. Then use this to extract demands out of others

I imagine being told 'nobody wants to read your sissy hypno column, Rod, you're fired' is exactly why he's trying to do it less on his substack, yeah

Sadly more tame. It's one third of a bigger post when previously this is all he'd think about for a week.

same. Blocked, then replied ( 🧠 ) calling me 'rude' because circulating speculation which in the process deadnames a trans woman is fine, but 'shut up' is over the line.
