On one hand, I forgot my headphones this morning. On the other, there's almost no one here today. Please don't talk to me.

Lung cancer is an extremely gnarly way to die. The treatments alone are absolutely awful. Couldn't happen to a better group of people.

I got really mad at a book when a character mentioned drinking Sam Adams beer in the 1970s, in California. Sam Adams was created in 1986 and wasn't available outside of New England for at LEAST 20 years after the fact.

If nothing else, I make pretty okay pancakes.

Every once in a while I'm rather bluntly reminded that all of my family thinks that I'm not as smart as they are and it ruins my whole day. Guess what happened as soon as I got home from the supermarket!

As an aside, is there ACTUALLY a reading crisis amongst men, or is this one of those manufactured crises because dudes don't want to share anything with women?

This is absolutely my point of view. If Democrats prove me wrong and use their power to hold this administration to account, I will be SO HAPPY to have egg on my face.

Men don't want to read women (and this is certainly not true of all men, but bear with me) *because their masculinity hinges on rejecting everything feminine*. Get the fuck out of here with this "biological reality" bullshit.

There are very few things in this life that I care about less than celebrity memoir, but a memoir by a nepo baby is down near the bottom of the pile.

Ok hot take in public here goes - the "having parasocial relationships about YouTube video essayists" community is way more socially maladjusted and annoying than any other celebrity worship subcult. You should all get really into Taylor Swift like normal people

This is just the same argument going round and round– too many of you care far more about your media consumption than the actual people that these abusers hurt. And really, what the fuck is wrong with you.

Because we're still arguing about it, "restorative justice" isn't up to you, some rando on the internet with a parasocial relationship with a YouTuber. "Justice" is up to his *victims*. You don't get to declare he is forgiven or made amends *if you're not the person he abused*.

I'm not going to argue with AI dipshits directly because I value my peace, but one thing I really haven't seen pointed out very often is that you cannot produce a human-like intelligence algorithmically *because humans do not think algorithmically*

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

There are probably a whole lot of reasons why horror is having a moment right now (gestures at the zeitgeist), but I think we shouldn't discount superhero fatigue.

Anyway, I stand by my contention that the week between Christmas and the New Year is much more liminal and spooky than the end of October. Halloween is good scary; the last week of December is *wrong*.
