Personally, I'm insulted. I've been honing the art of anxiety for years. To have the math-rocks pretend they're anxious cheapens my efforts.

I need someone to tell me that Frankenstein coming out in 2025 and The Bride in 2026 is just serendipitous timing.

I cried in the scene where Joyce beheaded Vecna and it cut to flashbacks of how he caused each of them so much pain. I have lived vicariously through this justice.

Every now and then, the characters of Stranger Things will employ props for simple explanations.

Girls don't fart. If they do, it smells like roses: propaganda we were fed as little boys. What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Congratulations! I read this when it came out on clarkesworld, and I came away with the same feeling I had with Down and Out in Exile Park: discombobulated. I need rereads of both.

Not hurting people's feelings should not be the basis for morality.

I have decided to take music seriously and get a harmonica.

One game I'm anticipating for PC is Recur by Kaleidoscope.

If they say that they have more than one, that's a good response. If they have just one and they mention it, report them to the cinephile police.

Oh, it is pinned. Yes, that one. It's a very good post. Needed it for inspiration.

It's like feeding a man fish but throwing away the tools of the fisherman. If he asks to learn how to fish, you would tell him how, and even show him the tools you use, but he would not be able to fish, because only you have those tools, albeit borrowed (stolen.)

It will get to a point where people would not be able to create things anymore, and would not be able to learn how even if they tried because the chronic use of AI would have stripped away the ability to conceive of a creative process.

Achebe: So here's my book. I want it published.

Publisher: We got you.

Jan. 16, 1966.

Publisher: Should we still publish your book?

Achebe:?

Publisher: A coup happened in your book.

Achebe: ??

Publisher: We don't want to be that guy, but a coup happened in Nigeria yesterday.

Achebe: What?!

Hey, batkaren, I'm trying to find a post of yours about a "would-be usurper." Can you find it?

I haven't started on that. I did Sofia Coppola instead.

If this was not the case, imagine the caricaturesque varieties of people we would have, whose sole existence is to be situated in a sort of demographic that's one-size-fits-all.

Feminism flattens patriarchy to an oppressor-victim story. It's more nuanced than that. Everybody won, everybody lost.

I'm at a color crisis to determine if my favorite color is teal or viridian.

I had a major leap in my journey as a cinephile after I watched Reeves' The Batman in January of 2023, didn't particularly like it or understand it, then read the script around October of that year, and was blown away. I rewatched the film soon after, and it's now one of my favorites of all time.

Underrepresentation is best presented as a fact, not an accusation, because no one should be responsible for your own representation, but yourself.

I can just tell that next season is for Eloise.

Perhaps media can play a role in reshaping the average impulse response to disability. This season of Bridgerton is doing a number in that regard.

Anti-marriage people would hate this show.
