people are raving on so excited about the x-men cast like this won’t be the worst major movie of the year

If you feel the need, in the current climate, to defend the claim that fantasy is real literature there’s a real good chance the fantasy YOU read isn’t

I am tech support to the bone and do not like to mystify computer stuff but I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that printers have demons in them. There is literally no other explanation.

imo it should simply be illegal to use terms like “mind”, “thought”, “dream”, etc when naming your AI product or company. The fact that we call it “intelligence” is insulting enough.

@amprestigepod.bsky.social I listened to your conversation with Shadi Hamid on a recent episode. I agree with you on many things, but had to raise sn eyebrow at the point made by Danni that psychology isn’t a real science since its foundational experiments have not been replicated.

@rereadingwolfe.bsky.social did Wolfe ever talk about his influences? I recently read Finney’s “The Circus of Dr. Lao” and I am convinced Wolfe must have read it too.

I think at the end of the day regardless of nationality, race, religion or political affiliation we can all agree that Jar Jar Binks is a character that appears in multiple Star Wars films as well as several pieces of spin off media.

There should be a term for this. It's like that kid in grade school that would ask during a fire drill "What if there is a tornado at the same time" If that extremely unlikely and dumb hypothetical happens then we all die I guess, please shut up.

The first season of ‘The Bear’ is flawed, but sincere, and ultimately good. The second season has that ironic distance that residents of the anglosphere apparently require in their media, but which, to me, makes it unsufferable to watch.

the real thing issue is that we have some groups of young men *claiming* to be driven right because of problems like male isolation when the right is not actually offering material solutions to those problems. what the right is offering is social and political power over women.
