"...on they came at a precipitous rate, stunted jaundiced horrors cyclopean and half-clothed, dull mouths agape, crying "pip, pip" and "hello buddies" in their grotesque subhuman voices. I crouched in my hiding place. "Poopay," they gibbered. "POOPAY!" - H.P. Lovecraft, "The Banana on the Threshold"

I really liked the first 3/4 of SIGNS, so it doubly hurt that the final 1/4 of the movie is so insanely stupid and insulting that it goes back in time and undoes the existing virtues of itself. It showers cold piss on biology, physics, reason AND faith, plus every last component of narrative craft.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
Buddy, quit being biodynamically interesting, dammit.
The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:
“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”
Dear Django--
I think Django Unchained is a fantastic work, and I hate to see it languish in the numbers both on Amazon and on Booktok. Let's get this witty, original historical romp the eyballas and the audience it deserves!
I really enjoy the ones that are thoroughly confused about what a magazine is and whether having a story in one makes me that magazine's owner.
This is like an Onion article conjured directly into life. Good god.
My bio says I'm a fuckin' Mechwarrior and that's 350% more a real thing than "LinkedIn Influencer"
Oh hey, this year's JordanCon just ended, which means they've announced I'll be joining them as literary GOH for 2027!
Grats, you kooky kids!
Yeah, I recently did a mental double-take when I got one of those "I represent a dedicated group of 2500 genre readers based in Pigblanket Notch, North Carolina" e-mails but it had a real writer's group and their organizer's name and face attached. I hate this fucking shit.
I would happily kill people to see The Midnight, unfortunately, geography conspires against me!
JKR: The Room of Requirement, where any desire comes magically true, is used by students to get extra hours to work on their homework
EVERY ONE OF THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE'S READERS: lol that's not what that room gets used for
Meme time! GIMLI (with a big TERF label over his face): Never thought I'd be fighting alongside the far right. LEGOLAS (with a big FAR RIGHT label over his face): Yes, you did.

"Batman Mode is essential or Project Loch Ness is completely doomed"
(a few seconds pass)
"What the fuck is Batman Mode?"
(a few more seconds)
"What the -fuck- is Project Loch Ness?"

Goddammit I did just kinda summon him didn't I
So does the subcontinent just have globally improbable levels of rizz or are the rest of us just dropping the goddamn ball

Hey, if it's good enough for the Sea of Galilee
Yeah, it's that same phenomenon where you say something broadly true like "Look, [marginalized identity] characters don't usually get to be the main characters of films" and someone will 'helpfully' say "Oh that's not true, there was [a single film made in 1991]."
It's a fucking freezing thing to walk into even at the best of times, might as well live.
This is like saying the United States is a matriarchy because there are nuns
Nobody who licks his shoes gets anything for it. Nobody. There's no grace period. The guy is a freakish ingrate and he has the attention span of a cup of wallpaper paste. It's fucking wild.
Exactly one year ago today:
I can understand (if not approve of) a Dec 26 baby falling out of the limelight but come on, Jan 5? You got robbed, man.
The circle of death is:
Cut faculty (or non-replace) so you offer fewer classes so fewer people enroll so you cut faculty so you offer fewer classes so fewer people enroll so then the market has spoken.
Aw hell yeah
Yay, it's shmail
