This kind of slimy, unprincipled cowardice is beyond pitiful. Don't offend the Nazis! You might lose a few sales!

WELL I finally finished this, and I just have to say

Palestinian Voices Month - PodCastle PodCastle is extremely proud to present Palestinian Voices, our special month of stories by Palestinian authors. We will be publishing one of these fabulous stories every week during November 2024, an...

In November, we (PodCastle) ran a month of Palestinian stories, and honestly I think it is the single best month of stories we've ever run, and you should listen to it on those grounds alone.

But I also spent a lot of time on those outros, and meant to write more about them at the time, but: busy.

Eeeyyyyy Liverpool! Less so for me personally, but that's the family team haha.

Jeff gets loose in an amusement park, Wambsgans tells Greg to handle it, hijinks ensue, a child is permanently disfigured by a collapsing Dippin Dots stand.

"I just want the cookie recipe, I don't want to read about how your grandma made them for your grandpa in the war!"

STOP. Just stop. This complaint is five years old. There's a "jump to recipe" button RIGHT THERE. We all know it. You're embarrassing yourself.

You might be cool, but you’ll never be Cloud Strife fighting a collapsing building with two swords kinda cool.

Okay, glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Threads — every time I went on it was just a different woman saying, "I went to the grocery store and I had a Bad Time™, here's the entire story starting with when I woke up."

The Sound of Reindeer - Reactor Ada's holiday trip to meet her girlfriend's family becomes a bit more fraught than usual when she discovers the family’s unusual Christmas Eve tradition...

Just realized that it's around the anniversary of my holiday horror story "The Sounds of Reindeer," published in @reactorsff.bsky.social.

Looking to read a story about toxic family traditions and the sounds we listen for on Christmas Eve? 🦌

What really boils my piss about generative AI is that they are proven to intensify racist and sexist bias with terrible outcomes already being recorded (do your own homework) but white people step over that without comment because it summarises an email and reproduces stolen images for them.
