I would never saltmarsh a friend and it sickens me that you’d do it with this level of glee

i really love that my current gp's approach to specialist referrals is basically "this could take a few months to pan out, so let's refer you immediately and if we manage to fix it ourselves you can just cancel the appointment"

topic is: directors who made one really good thing, mostly by accident, and erroneously convinced everyone they were actually good at directing

- russo bros (the winter soldier)
- craig mazin (chernobyl)

who else are you putting on this list

we all know I have no life, so:

in case you think I'm making things up: this happens about once every 2 weeks

one of the worst fates that can befall the discussion around a character is a situation where straight men make trap jokes over her 24/7 and queer people insist she is nothing more than gnc male and that reading her as trans is regressive

Can we talk about how harassment and borderline stalking of trans women by gender critical activists has become entirely normalised?

Why can’t a trans woman do a bloody Parkrun without having her privacy violated and her data amassed on a website?!

rolling my eyes out of my skull and clicking away from a video for calling real-life age gaps above a certain number "inherently predatory" and the number is, as always, not even as big as the age gap between me and my actual wife

it FEELS like i have a sunburn or really bad carpet burn or something, so even though i know it won't help, i keep wanting to ice it! and every time i say out loud "i know this won't help" and then a little bit later nell is like "did it help" and i have to be like "NO :("

The Year Without Sunshine - Uncanny Magazine During one of the much smaller disasters that preceded the really big disaster, I met a lot of my neighbors online. I can’t remember if we set up the WhatsApp group because of the pandemic or the civi...

I can’t stand the english voice acting in so many games and it’s almost entirely because women actors get directed to do falsetto baby voice all the time

I’ve seen videos of these people when they’re not doing a voice! they sound normal! why are they not allowed to use their normal voice in VA???

"Don't ship unless it's canon" you are truly are the weakest link. Back in my day we shipped characters that never laid eyes on each other. We shipped characters that didn't even belong in the same universe or franchise. Canon is a chain we threw off long ago

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

This discourse rolls around every six months and I'm always happy to chime in: ELEMENTARY is a great TV show qua TV show and best modern interpretation of Holmes, including that one you're thinking of, which was more of one dude's intermittent hobby, which also somehow turned into CRIME DR. WHO.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

so what i eventually actually learned in therapy is not overinterrogating myself. like yeah interrogate the feeling a little, but sometimes you just FEEL BAD and that's okay!

- it doesn't mean you've done something to cause it, and

- this isn't a sign you're going to feel like this forever

it's good to be able to examine why you feel a certain way, but when the way you feel is "apocalyptically depressed" and the solution is actually "a ton of medication" but the only way you've been taught to address it is CBT, you can get really fucked up really fast.

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for

It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

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
