I would rather watch an interview with an actual wooden plank, than the AI-sharted, human mimicking failblob they're parading out to news channels.

As an astrology girlie who learned through casting charts by HAND (yep!), it is madness, but it is fascinating madness, lol. You can start by using Astroseek to cast your own birth chart and take it backwards from there to glean the system. I'm also here for you if you have questions 🫡

Also, who on earth retires at 40? We're not trust fund babies! We have at least 20 years to go before retirement age. These Gen Z creators need to rethink their math, because they're off by at least two decades.

That is literally her entire thing. Also, I don't know if you've caught up yet, but the latest season had an entire episode of flowcharts, graphs, statistics, rules, and diagrams to explain a bog-standard tournament arc, it's amazing

Pretty much this. Could have saved us all a load of trouble, but it looks like it's making a ton of money, so the shareholder chuds are probably happy 🫠

As a card-carrying, dangerous “hindoo” I became one of the primo targets for the evangelizers in college. It’s not enough that people know of Christianity’s existence, it is about converting people, especially people like me—nonwhite, pagan—and conscripting us into the flock.

2:00 AM feralposting about Practical Magic 2, because it was SO bad The lighting pissed me off the most, because WHY on earth does the film have a suprabright ring light-glare that leeches out life from every frame? As if skimping on color maximizes shareholder value for Hollywood exec chuds

Eugenia has already said here everything I was going to say about this. One thing I will add is that the lasting thing I gained following this project was a deep hatred for AI slop and LLMs as anyone who has heard me speak on ths subject since knows. I saw how the sausage was made and rejected it.

In 2022, before Chatgpt and everything that came next, I participated in this study. It was framed as a research on a new tool that I could try and offer my opinion on. I didn't know that it was trained on copyrighted material.

I found it to be of little use in writing anything of substance and I haven't used AI to write my stories. I've come to hate LLMs and I would never participate in a similar study today. I have been vocally against AI.

It's profoundly irritating because this suddenly popped up on a website I'd always been visiting (it's a farmer's almanac website) and I just stared at it because it appears designed for a human to fail

I blurbed this gorgeous novella, so I was lucky enough to read an early version of "These Hollow Bodies." Guys, @pegasusunder.bsky.social has created something so beautiful and visceral and tactile and full of art, there’s nothing like it, I swear to gods. I'm still haunted by it 🩵

Just learned that the soundtrack for Nolan’s ODYSSEY doesn’t include The Soggy Bottom Boys. Shameful.

The IMAX sound mixing for this film feels designed to inflict maximum pain and torment to the viewer, so if you have any hearing sensitivities or your nervous system is already shot to hell (like mine), I’d suggest two levels of hearing protection if you don’t want to throw up from the sound.

My spoiler-free "The Odyssey" review: this is the loudest movie I have ever watched in a theater. I was armed with concert earplugs, and I still felt as though my brain was going to splatter out of my shattered eardrums. The unnecessary volume and thumping bass actively rearranged my organs.
