Hello. I’m writing a novel. @editrixemma.bsky.social @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social

texture on the Misriah casing that reads “KILL FOR MOMMY…”

good morning this is a real texture in Marathon

Could You Handle Your Kid Working For You? This hypothetical became reality for the creative director of a flashy new video game about fighting and food, Dosa Divas.

“I don’t know where the balance is as a parent" could be a statement about anything. But for my latest at @crossplayblog.bsky.social, it's an interview with @ekanaut.bsky.social about getting to work *with* his son on his latest game. (I also talked to his kid!) www.crossplay.news/p/could-you-...

Those books are incredible but they just hurt and hurt and hurt

sure it's a tool of social control and surveillance owned and operated by fascists, but it writes work emails for me. on balance who's to say it's good or bad

sorry I didn’t mean feral I meant “dumb as rocks”

my cats are essentially feral / think they are. pick up entire packets of instant noodles and do a runner. what’s your plan with that wee man are you turning on the kettle too

I hear adults at work occasionally mention Snapchat and I should not type the thought that immediately crosses my mind

Great piece that reiterates something everyone who is not a weird bay area freak or sucked into the AI hype cycle understands implicitly. There's no magic left, these people have barren imaginations.

They’re simple cats. They are so eager to be in my skin they’ll fall asleep standing next to the bath whilst I’m in it.

advertising technology in the 1990s: look at this “website” you can “surf”. it has an image of a cat on it

advertising technology in the 2020s: you must adopt this now or die. we are going to completely kill you if you don’t download this app immediately

well SOMEONE clearly doesn't want to read 400 esoteric item descriptions then watch 3 hour youtube video essays

come on man.

this is one of the most offensive things I've seen in years

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

Sometimes I feel just as angry about the opposites though! Save 10 quid at Tesco or whatever by giving them my data - well damn if you could’ve charged that in the first place it’s pretty criminal that you’re over charging!

coop is particularly bad imo - I’ll spend 25 quid and it’s like ooooo did you know a member would’ve saved 14p!? oh do sod off

here it is if u need an excuse to not come into work:

Jesus, turn off the games console

I’d never do Simpsons trivia because I know roughly 10000x more about the Simpsons than the median human being and roughly 10000x less than bearded men who do Simpsons trivia

So much of short form video now is someone I’ve never seen before and have no context for watching some sort of media I ostensibly enjoy and screaming BROOOOO

A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’

How many fishers with 6 magikarps you think jump you on this thing

Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator
