I, a nonfootballish person, spent most of the game giggling that the logo looked more like lix than LIX and pronouncing it licks. Super Bowl Licks.

My kids discovered that you can sing “So Long Farewell Auf Wiedersehen Good Bye” to the melody from “Look Down” in Les Mis and I will never again know peace (but I am duly impressed by their enthusiasm).

You have nothing planned and no obligations; you’re not necessarily looking for anything to fill the time but you’re open to spontaneous plans. (Hailing from the American Midwest for unscientific record purposes.)

The statement remains bogus. I know people in research science. They’re not running out of ideas. They have too many ideas and not enough funding, sure! But I stand by the assessment that the tagline statement chosen by Vox to advertise their article is in fact bogus.

“We’re running out of good ideas.” What? No we’re not? Who says this? What an utterly bogus premise to even begin from.

These clowns trying to turn everything into vocational education are preparing students for an economy that won't exist in four years. NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THE JOBS WILL BE. "A.i." major? Christ almightly. Deeply irresponsible.

I dared to look at the Reddit sub for the theft place, and 1) those people don't understand that when they say "down with corporations" that creators are not part of corps 2) they refuse to acknowledge libraries + free library apps exist

I can only answer for myself, but secondhand shops often fill a community niche for literature and reading joy and I’m totally cool having only made my money once on the books they resell. And library copies (physical or digital) are paid so authors get some money from those!

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!” Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

It's interesting how easily a lot of ppl say oh it's over, it's inevitable just use it. Most Artists I know aren't like that. From day one. They are built different. They are resistant to conformity. You're not going to tell them what to do or say. Don't tell me what to say gpt. I speak for me.

It’s frustrating! I started buying basics (elastic in various sizes, hooks and eyes, snaps, invisible zippers in black and white, thread in my most used colors, etc) in bulk during the height of the pandemic years and I’m glad I stumbled into that strategy.

Also, at least scam the correct author. I’ve gotten these clearly intended for other recipients about books I did not write. Like I’m sorry that Rando P Author III is criminally underrated but I ain’t them, soooo.

The reason many of the commentators don’t like Bluesky is because the infrastructure is set up in a way that no longer benefits them. On Twitter it was always easier to gain an audience by purposefully saying things that upset people. Getting ratio-ed was a tactic. Here, that’s much harder.
