I bought the sheet music for John Cage's 4'33" and it's perfect. No notes.

I got the first two and had them sitting around as tsundoku forever and I finally got to them and they're great! I recommend this series!

oh my god, everything about this sounds amazing. The Magician's Nephew is one of the best Narnia books (just don't read it first, the modern numbering is wrong) and Jadis is the best.

I hadn't thought of it like this, but considering everything we learn about the big-picture galaxy in Dungeon Crawler Carl it's exactly right. It's like Hitchhiker's if the POV never left the set of a Vogon game show.

I'm seeing a bunch of voting fights, my take is: - ALWAYS vote - if the only options are "bad" and "worse," not voting for "bad" is a vote for "worse." - in practice, in the US this means always voting Democratic. - not voting doesn't say "listen to me," it says "I don't show up, so don't bother."

I always forget to do this, but if you're following me and don't know, I have a couple books out for middle grade readers, Unboxing Libby and The Ink Witch (I think they're fun for adults, too, though.) I'm really proud of both of them, and The Ink Witch got a Stonewall Honor award!

Until the internet I never knew that there were people who took this to just mean Ralph literally dreams about being a Viking. I get what they mean and that it's "simpler," but the fact that the other interpretation intuitively unfolds a whole backstory is what makes it funny!

I had to look up what this is and... it's a flip phone, but side-to-side instead of up and down? Which is...desirable, I guess? It doesn't make the world actively worse, so I guess I gotta count that as a tech win by today's standards!

I'm going to have to go with Lower Decks, because it's the only one tattooed on my arm.

You can go back to a lot of SNES games and they're still beautiful and playable by today's standards. N64...mostly not so much. The appeal was HEAVILY based on 3D, any 3D, being novel and cool.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Awesome! I just got this yesterday and it's the one I'll be using from now on. I've been surprised how often there's a perfectly good alternative to these seeming monopolies (and usually better, because they can't coast on being the default.) I went Linux too and it's SO MUCH BETTER.

This might be an autistic thing but I have never understood what shaking hands is supposed to be. Can't I just talk to you about stuff? Why do you want to touch my hand? Human connection happens through ideas, not doing weird little rituals with your meat waldos.

I've heard one of the most reliable ways to keep people informed of upcoming projects, etc, in these days of the busted internet is just to have an email list for sending out announcements. Let me know if that's something you'd find useful!

So I don't know anything about this except that despite looking like SheZow!, being Australian like SheZow!, and apparently having exactly the same "very hard to parse what this is saying, in a way that pleases nobody" quality as SheZow!, it is not made by the creator of SheZow!

I’ve been seeing examples of people applying “slop” to things they don’t like outside of AI. Please, do not make that a thing. A trash work of art made by actual people has more value than any “art” produced by AI.

I got a sandwich from Cousins that I'd never tried before, and you know what? It was really tasty, and I'm glad I got it! I hope whoever ended up with my order had a similarly positive experience.

I just finished Wolf's Belly by @johnaugust.bsky.social and Simon Estrada. It's amazing, a must read! I can picture this turned into a really killer animated film some day.
The cover of Wolf's Belly by John August and Simon Estrada. Red Riding Hood, but kinda spooky. It's very cool!

That feeling when you're doing a synopsis for a pitch and it's like "crap, now I have to have an ending" and then you come up with the PERFECT ending and then it's like "crap, this is so good that now I'll be EXTRA disappointed if it doesn't get picked up."

Wait, so everyone is twelve theory already had a name?
I think it's really funny that Japanese also has a word for 'edgelord', but theirs translates to 'eighth-grader'.

User holmoria replies, 

It's not even 'eighth-grader" it's even funnier. chunibyo is eighth- grade syndrome. like explicitly a diagnosis. I diagnose you with edgelord
