We’re back on our nonsense again, this time with a startling story from 1939. Weird science, robots, megalomania and a useless protagonist make for an extra goofy and fun read. youtu.be/EhBSnUju5EE?...

Reminder: Even pirating the new Harry Potter HBO show helps put money in Rowling's pocket, because studios track illegal downloads and use those numbers to attract licensees for products and brand deals. Don't watch it. Not even one episode. Not with a free trial, not via a torrent site.

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

Really succinctly puts the tired tropes and missteps of mascot horror into perspective, especially with the angle that many want to convey lore and story like Bioshock without understanding WHY it worked in Bioshock.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

We've been in the ripping-the-copper-wiring-out-of-the-walls era of society for awhile now. There's no attempts to make anything better. There's no attempts to make anything people want. It's just syphoning gas out of cars and burying people in gambling debt from rigged betting markets.

Worth listening for anyone who heard our Public Remains episode on Manly Wade Wellman, coincidentally released only a little before this. And if you haven’t heard The Monsters Are Due and enjoy The Twilight Zone, please correct this - I may or may not have evoked Peter by accident in the last intro.

Generative AI is an attempt by tech bros to own our voices, our experiences, our creativity, our hard work. They want to feed our creative efforts into a machine so that they can profit off of it. AI art is hollow and soulless and without human intention.

Okay, friends. We have til a week from Monday to stop the Kids Act (especially KOSA) from passing the Senate. It may have passed the House, but the battle is far from over. Like your Internet free and open? Then bug and bother your senators until they recognize the dangers of these bills.

Would a woodie coaster breathe fire if it could?
A cartoon illustration of a long dragon made up of a wooden rollercoaster on a sky blue gradient background. Visible support beams make up its body, which gradually narrows until just the track, which comes to a jagged and broken end, makes up the tail. At the opposite end of the body, a six car-long train makes up the head. The front car has angry yellow eyes printed on the front, and the track is bent downward into long fangs. A pair of wings made up of darker planks of wood and queue line awning webbing makes sprouts from its back.

Transphobia and discrimination against Transgender, nonbinary, GNC, and intersex people is immoral and evil everywhere. In NYC and NYS, it's also illegal 🏳️‍⚧️🗽
Joint Statement from the Mayor's Office of LGBTQ+ Affairs and the NYC Commission on Human Rights

While the Supreme Court today has chosen to permit states to explicitly discriminate against transgender students, the reality on the ground in New York City remains unchanged.

The City of New York will continue to be a place where transgender students can play the sports they love and be treated at all times with dignity and respect. It has been and continues to be unlawful in the State and City of New York to discriminate against anyone, including students, simply because they are transgender or intersex.

If you experience or witness discrimination, call 3-1-1 and ask for 'Human Rights'

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.
