It'd be great if the snow got the memo that it's March and it should stop
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
I've lived through at least three, maybe four, supposed end of days

To quote @audacityofdespair.bsky.social, I'd rather put a gun in my mouth
The hubby and I still quote this to each other every now and then
The PS5? You mean my 4K player?
The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."
Discord Distances Itself From Age Verification Firm After Ties To Palantirβs Peter Thiel Surface The third-party company Discord could use for their ID collection is mired in surveillance concerns and links to Epstein via one of its investors
they're very sorry they got caught
I reviewed Reanimal for @ign.com and tried to grapple with its themes and narrative structure without giving too much away. Very proud of this one.

What's one more God to attack and dethrone?
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying βART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.β, the goat adds βTHEIR HUMANITY.β

Inching closer to hour 6 of the saga. We still don't know where the water is coming from
Shakespeare is timeless, always.
Woke up at 5am to find a pipe burst in the kitchen.
Yaaaay
Please. Authors and readers be aware of this. This is GREAT news for divesting from Amazon. Remember that buyers hold so much power and please support by buying from bookshop.org > Amazon. We are directly benefitted from purchases made outside of Amazon! And you get to pick the store that benefits!
Trust me, it happened *exactly like this*
We still quote it to each other from time to time
ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.
JK Rowling: hello children

You know. This could be a good bit for Skybox if you ever want me to analyze graphic design like I did those team logos that one time
Magneto was absolutely right
This. This. All of this.
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.
