It's hilarious and it got me to finally do a full 30 Rock watch.

Got to bring back the bagel rollers union from the 1930s to stop this. They beat the shit out of the Mafia, they can stand up against this enshittification.

Oh also this follows a notice from a month ago prohibiting all conference attendance and travel. You know, the thing scientists do to keep their peers abreast of the latest developments in the field and to find new collaborations. Doesn't align with DHHS priorities, apparently.

I will be happy to share my webinar with anyone who interviews me, since it was all about how an LLM is incapable of doing my work 🫠

Back to work after a week off & at the top of my inbox are messages about Copilot being forced onto all devices, an upcoming RTO order, & a notice someone was pissed I called the pres a mad king in my (anti) AI webinar right before my vacay.

Welp, it's been a nice almost 12 years at this job 🤷

Do you need a shot of B-12?

What are you going to do once you've assembled your harem? 🤔

Work!

Mine's just starting 😏

I hope you can because I refuse to even look at it!

But why build new things when we can rehash the same old stories we already read decades ago?

Shantotto, my beloved!

Red mage booty shorts for the men, please!

Okay, brag 🤣

Can't stop, won't stop

Also that they're celibate except for each other for years?? (With only a couple brief exceptions... With women.)

At the beginning, but it progresses well past the introduction of PrEP as the season goes on.

🐶

Who co-stars in it, too

Straight men, please feel free to dress thusly, so I immediately know to avoid you

Maybe Marvel should reconsider their policy of hiring racist fraudsters as their editor in chief 🤷

Screencap of Bluesky muted words menu. The term Hasan Piker is muted forever in all text and tags from all users.

idk who H***n P***r is and frankly idgaf. I just want to stop hearing his name all the time. Talk about someone actually interesting, please.

Oh yes, though it's been a while and deserves a reread. Gillen is one of my favorites, so I've read a big chunk of his published work.

The timing doesn't matter as long as you get there in the end 💖

I wasn't expecting the events of issue 16 at all, but once I finished reading it, I could see how it had all been hinted at in the last several issues (and the inspiration from Krakoa X-Men). Fantastic storytelling, both the words and the art.

It'd be nice if the doomsday clock weren't fractions of a second from midnight, but otherwise, I'm living a better life than I knew was possible when I was a kid!

Not at all and thank goodness. I'd be miserable stuck in the heteronormativity I thought I was destined for.

Panel from The Power Fantasy issue #1. Santa Valentina in her true angelic form looms over Etienne Lux.

Caught up on The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social, @casparw.bsky.social, and @claytoncowles.bsky.social, and anyone who misses Krakoa X-Men should read it. A tremendous work of art. I hate that I have to wait a year for the next trade, but that gives me an excuse to reread the whole thing.
