Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 29/06/2026Fun one about why Hollywood is so screwed up: People tend to pursue big wins with low chances of success over sure things that are boring. So, execs know that making 10 indie films for 30M each is going to make them more money, but they would rather risk it all on a blockbuster... for the thrill. 020

Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 30/05/2026It always cracks me up when people say that (insert current grift) is a scam, and wonder when people will wake up. Dude, they know. They just haven't found another scam to switch over to yet. 000

Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 20/06/2025If you're thinking about packing a go bag, or a get home bag for your car, do it. Not because of zombies, but because accidents happen. That duct tape, medical gear, spare food, and medicine can be the difference between having a miserable time, and being pretty okay. 020
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 18/06/2025Ah yes, I feel like garbage but the question is, am I sick? Is my body rebelling because I'm on a diet? Or is something else going on? Because my normal morning walk wiped me out. I'm down to 178 lbs from 230 in January. With the goal of 170. So, either way I'm close. 050
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 07/06/2025If you ever feel dumb, just remember that right now someone is googling "How many days is in a week?" 110
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 31/05/2025I just heard the term "Gymcel" for the first time today. And yeah, that sums up what I'm seeing with fitness influencers. This shit is problematic. 020

Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 29/05/2025A clip of Rocky Horror Picture Show being performed on stage in Korean just came across my feed, and it was glorious. 130
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 27/05/2025@gailsimone.bsky.social A shout out to the time when I went to a panel, was mistaken for a press photographer (I was dressed terribly and had a big camera), and got to meet Gail. It was fun. Would recommend. I didn't stand in line once that entire convention. 21037
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 26/05/2025When you develop a new issue, but it "often affects highly active people". A win is a win. 010
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 24/05/2025That moment when you see a post starting to break containment and you preemptively turn off the replies. 040
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 24/05/2025Someone recently mentioned that it's only a matter of time before GenAI starts being used to serve ads. Imagine how much Coke would pay to have their product be the default whenever anyone wants an image of a soda. Or companies figuring out ways to do SEO so LLMs mention them. 020
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 24/05/2025It would be hilarious if we somehow managed to create a new Satanic Panic about genAI and how these Machine Devils were sent by Satan to corrupt our youth. There has to be a story somewhere about a person who realized they were gay after talking to AI, or became an atheist. 183
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 24/05/2025Spotify is literally ripping off artists both in terms of Royalties, and by copying their music to avoid paying out. I recently started moving away from algorithmic streaming, and man, there are so many old favorites I hadn't heard in a while. Like old goth / industrial stuff. Good times. 120
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 24/05/2025Agreed. Flat pack furniture didn't make regular furniture makers into millionaires. It reduced the amount of people buying real wood furniture. 010
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 22/05/2025If you're having a rough day, might I suggest some cozy art and books to help you make it through this troubling time? 031
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 22/05/2025Also, be sure to stock up on tea and plushies, and look at cute art. 011
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 22/05/2025I need to read more Spanish literature. Anyone have a favorite book they would suggest? 000
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 22/05/2025Ok, let's see how well this morning's attempt at walking goes. Before the injury I was doing 3 miles every morning. Yesterday I was able to walk around the house a bit, and do some very basic exercises. The goal for today is to walk around the block, and if that goes well, maybe down the street. 010
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 21/05/2025Well, I'm able to walk around a bit again. And I'm doing some light exercise. But this definitely has not been a pleasant experience. 040
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 18/05/2025Microwaving a mug of tea to summon @gailsimone.bsky.social What are some of your favorite Time Loop stories? I'm looking for inspiration. And I'm really curious what stories you like. 400
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 18/05/2025I'm looking for time loop inspiration. It has to either be available for free, on KU, or Crunch Roll. Because I am broke. But list some of your favorites. #writing #writingcommunity 320
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 17/05/2025I was 230-235 lbs in January. The irony of hitting injuring myself so bad that I'm bedridden and hitting my goal weight in the same week is not lost on me. 050
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 16/05/2025Yeah, I absolutely screwed up my lower back. One loud pop later, and it hurts to even try to roll on my side. FML 020
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 15/05/2025I flipped a coin this morning. I was trying to decide if my character should go full murder hobo on some bandits. Heads he would, and tails he wouldn't. After the flip, I realized that both sides were heads. #writingcommunity #litRPG 120
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 15/05/2025People don't understand how autism affects our relationships. I definitely feel things. I feel a lot of strong emotions. I just don't always react the same way YOU would or react to the same things YOU do. And I hate it when I'm being 100% honest about my intentions, and people don't believe me. 050
Alex Karne @alexkarne.com · 15/05/2025Well, that sucked. I got over confident and tried to do a squat to see how my lower back was healing. One loud "Pop!" later and I'm stuck sitting in a chair waiting until I'm able to walk again. How is your morning going? 000
