Personally I prefer my smut handcrafted by another human being and the formulaic slop generator just doesn't have the balance of creativity and inexplicable neuroses needed to hit the spot

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

In addition, R* has accused some fired workers of ‘openly and vituperatively disparaging and defaming’ R* and T2. Apparently, the phrase ‘cowardly corporate fuck’ was used to describe one manager. A sequence of HR announcements were also mocked as being ‘like a shit advent calendar.’

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on AI to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need.

The group said it packed supplies for an eight-hour climb, not its roughly 16-hour ascent. The climbers said AI recommended simple carbohydrates instead of fats because fats “take too long to digest.”

“We relied too much on AI rather than our own critical thinking,” the group told rangers

i would really recommend white ppl look into the "right to comfort" as a characteristic of white supremacy. from "white supremacy culture" by tema okun:
"right to comfort:

- the belief that those with power have a right to emotional and psychological comfort (another aspect of valuing 'logic' over emotion)

- scapegoating those who cause discomfort

- equating individual acts of unfairness against white people with systemic racism which daily targets people of color

antidotes: understand that discomfort is at the root of all growth and learning; welcome it as much as you can; deepen your political analysis of racism and oppression so you have a strong understanding of how your personal experience and feelings fit into a larger picture; don't take everything personally"

My own preference that makes me a pariah is that I think Moist is overrated (he's fine but like... calm down), and Monstrous Regiment is one of the best Discworld books. I also think other Watch fans sleep too much on Jingo.

The Death books are fantastic. Rincewind actually got more unbearable for me as the books went on, and I'm not a fan of the Wizard books generally. Vimes and Vetinari are top tier characters for me though. If that's not your genre, however...

Atropa @atropa.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
This is how I feel about the Rincewind books. I know he's the icon character for the whole world but I just can't stand those books and I'm not sorry. The Watch books are my favourite, but they're also very unlike any of the others in the series, so there's nothing wrong with preferring another.

theres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often
darling of dots feb 24 
been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

the fucked-up part is that specifically notice this in like, BIPOC or queer romances because their authors a) are more likely to be harassed online b) tend to care about writing inclusive and intersectional books more, both of which are totally valid reasons, but unfortunately a book that is scared to be misunderstood is also scared to challenge the reader or allow for too much nuance or grey areas or character flaws and am sorry to say that it often makes for less compelling stories because it means shying away from ambiguities and complexities in an effort to reassure me, the reader, that everyone here is a Good Person engaging in Healthy Behaviours and Relationships
