To be fair, gamer women also ride or die for the companion cube.

Until we gotta elevator to catch, you understand.

That's ... Is that a baby Cthulhu?

Are we... Are we doing minions cosmic horror? Cause... I might watch that.

Hands down, most attractive Disney Princess.

And possibly butler, but I doubt I've seen all of them.

I knew about and correctly identified all my symptoms for a decade before figuring it out.

(It was a TikTok about being weirdly empathic towards inanimate objects. Sometimes it's the really tiny things that hit you like a brick.)

I'm conflating "too old" with "too old." You don't get to decide what society decides too old is. Pick an actual issue, not an easily-made-relative descriptor of a vague idea. Is it best for the country that you're perceived as too old? Because you will be.

I'm not a boomer. This is ageism. If your problem is infirmity or cognitive decline, great, I agree, let's talk about that. But all you're saying is old. You're over 40. You are literally the person they'll stop hiring because they think you're old. I'm not sure you want a number to be the point.

I often find myself making plans for things people find incredibly distasteful. Plans for when people/pets die. No one wants to talk about it, and look at me like I'm insane but It's gonna happen. We can't stop it. Maybe it's better to plan when your NOT bawling. Is that an autistic thing?

Black holes aren’t black A half century after the discovery of Hawking radiation, we are still dealing with the quantum puzzle it exposed.

So happy to finally share this: I made a long-form comic about Hawking radiation for Physics Today! Although it's a short read, I hope it sucks you in ;)

I read Pet Semetary around 10.

Ten year olds do not have the context required to understand the horror of Pet Semetary. You're doing them a horror disservice by not waiting till they're in their 30s.

I thought it was slow, leaning into boring, and not scary at all. BECAUSE I WAS TEN.

I need at least three people on Bluesky to start watching Farm to Taber.

I prefer the broader definition of Disney Princess. The one where Doctor Frank-N-Furter and the Xenomorph Queen both count.

Oh, also, The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. There isn't a whole lot of "space" in it, but it has a very ... space feel. The horror is cosmic, that might be why it feels that way. The other two are almost entirely in space.

I've read Blindsight by Peter Watts, and Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes recently. Can recommend either. Blindsight is the better of the two, but if you just need to scratch an itch, Dead Silence will do that for you.

Billionaire Hunts get 'massive giveaway' while Black entrepreneur gets tone-policed By Melinda Henneberger

The absolute contempt for us is just... I shouldn't continue to be shocked and angry, but I am. #WyCo #Chiefs #Toland #FucktheHunts #Kansas

To this day, I can't see MBJ without thinking "Damn, Wallace got pretty."

Far as I can tell, the only thing too much testosterone does is convince you that you can wrestle a bear. Which is both incredibly dumb, and evolutionarily useful.

I've read exactly one of these books. Not liking romance and being immune to hype is not great for book voting.

My politics involve finding the corrupted heart of the parking lot and killing it so JoCo can begin to heal. This is non-negotiable, and I'll not be taking questions.

I don't plan to start visiting Target, again. To be clear, I wasn't boycotting them to make them change anything, either. The simple fact is, they asked me to consider their politics in my decision to buy things from them. So I did.

This sentence is short for "Might as well..." or to be more correct, "You might as well..." And as we all know, you're supposed to use apostrophes to indicate that you are enshortening, so this sentence should be written "'''''''''As well ask men what they think of stone."

Kansascitydsa instagram post, 4h ago: Flier: TELL CITY COUNCIL! NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN KANSAS. PUBLIC HEARING! TUES MAR 10 5:00PM URGENT LAST CHANCE TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! CITY HALL 100 N 5TH ST LEAVENWORTH KANSAS Post text: kansascitydsa 4h Despite a consistent and overwhelmingly majority of Leavenworth (and nearby neighbors) speaking out against CoreCivic’s Special Use Permit, the city commission voted 4-1 to move forward with CoreCivic’s for-profit immigration camp two weeks ago. This March 10th, at 6:00, is now the last remaining meeting to tell the city commission of Leavenworth, KS that our community does not welcome concentration camps in our community. In anticipation of yet another wave of opposition, the city commission of Leavenworth has preemptively limited the allowed public comment period to only one hour. Please come out early, starting no later than 5:00, for a mass demonstration against CoreCivic and its record of physical assault, medical negligence, sexual abuse, and wrongful deaths that plague its facilities across the nation every single day. Join us to hear the testimony of the extended Leavenworth community, the same testimony that the city commission wants to silence in favor of a billion dollar private prison company that abuses two month old babies and their families.

please help amplify this if you can

A screenshot of a skeet: Ron Filipkowski (@ronfolipkowski.bky.social): I was just thinking about which state has elected the worst Republican congressional delegations over the past decade overall and I think I've settled on Missouri.

The Missouri GoP wants to outlaw buying Kool Aid with SNAP.

Just sayin.

I'll note that Anthropic said no due to concerns of their AI making "kill people" decisions.

Which implies, to me, that Trump is interested in using fully autonomous killing machines.

Which also implies that at some point, someone will be shrugging and saying "oopsie" over a town full of dead kids

I'll also note I DNF'd Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt at like 20%. I don't know if all the PoV characters are misogynistic edge lords or the author is, but I don't need to read it to find out, either. #booksky

However, this feels like the debate between fans of Alien and Aliens. The people who love horror like the first movie, the people who love action like the second. Both are good, and which you prefer will depend on what you're looking for.

Compared to the first book, I feel like the characters might have been a little Flanderized, though there could be in-universe reasons for the changes, depending on your read. Personally, I think I prefer the first book for it's slower, more uncanny and atmospheric take on the world.

I can tell you the plot is fast-paced, intricate and twisty, and begins with a classic locked door mystery that turns out to be the least of our problems. Our main side character is interesting and fun, and I love the Annihilation/surreal nature vibes of the universe.

This is a fantasy, with a Sherlock vibe. The detective is brilliant and unhinged, the assistant is competent and put upon. I don't read mysteries with the intent to figure them out first, so I can't tell you how good it is in that department.
