Okay, I love the concept of an adventurer’s guild requiring a class before herb collecting.

The Crunchyroll poster for “The Cat and the Dragon,” showing a wide variety of cats, with a red winged one in the center. The setting is a forest, with plains stretching to mountains in the distant background.

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

This anime has exactly the kind of chill vibe I love…but the protagonist keeps doing shit like going for a walk in the snow in her high heels and it is KILLING ME.

The poster for anime series “With You and the Rain,” showing a short-haired woman wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, black pencil skirt, and high heeled shoes, holding an umbrella and crouching next to a tanuki with a leaf on its head.

What you don’t or can’t use, you lose. Applies to EVERYTHING, but especially knowledge work. This is a huge problem, and we’re seeing knowledge loss faster than Alzheimer’s. If your employer forces you to use the crap, make SURE you’re coding things you love by hand to keep your skills for next job.

Sometimes audiobook narrators make me question the pronunciation of words that I know damn well I’ve looked up in the past, and sometimes they pronounce “scared” like “scarred” and I quit worrying that maybe they know better than I do how to pronounce “grimace.”

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

Poster for the movie Cosmic Princess Kaguya! showing two anime girls as their VR avatars, one taller with light brown hair, bunny ears, and a pink kimono-inspired dress, holding a microphone. The other has black hair, fox ears, and is wearing a black and purple hoodie and black harness and a keytar. They look like the girl in pink is pulling the girl in black off on an adventure.

any time benefits require paperwork, or even a level of functioning that can accommodate filling out a simple form, people will slip through the cracks. their kids will slip through the cracks. I don't give a shit how easy that single form is. requiring it = kids starving

The last social work job I had was in an appalachian town where they had just made all lunch and breakfast free. It was far far better than having to make people do the applications, they knew by the data that most of the kids needed it, it reduced food waste and best of all, it meant kids ate.

If this horrific police execution video crosses your timeline consider: - we don’t have to physically witness a murder to know it’s horrific - people who are subject to this type of violence do not have to be repeatedly traumatized by it - you do not have to push violence into people’s timelines

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

Petition to standardize glow-in-the-dark light switch plates and also normalize labelling them

A Star Wars-themed light switch plate with a glow-in-the-dark base. The top says LIGHT SIDE and the bottom says DARK SIDE. I think the abstract design is supposed to be the top half of the Rebel Alliance symbol and the bottom half of the Sith symbol?

From "fossil fuels don't cause climate change" to "being a terrible person isn't why I'm lonely," the reactionary mindset requires a blanket rejection of the relationship between cause and effect.
