Really weird to me how incredibly rich white men get to say stuff like "in three to four years we'll be achieving nuclear fusion from honey" and the stock markets go "wow, sounds great bro!" and the news just reports it with maybe a paragraph at the end of "critics say this is unlikely".

I sorted my fave Dragon Age Companions and 0% of my Dragon Age friends were shocked.

I don't know why it's Lucanis bringing Pepsi with the shit-eating grin that is making me crack up, but it is.

Might actually be better for us that Dragon Age is done. Saudi Arabia might be willing to be hands-off with queer rep but you bet your ass the Trump cartel won't be.

Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social · yesterday

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

I think current genAI is, for the most part, an anti-social attack on culture and society. And I'm gonna need y'all to stop making that position look ridiculous by turning yourselves into an over-correcting anti-social attack on culture & society.

Oh no, a fandom convention episode of Midsommer Murders...

Look, we have a rotation. One nice box gets to inhabit the living room for cat purposes until it gets ripped up, then it's replaced by the next box, which gets them all excited because NEW BOX. There's a SYSTEM.

People with vaginas: based on my chats with other Canadians, the new HPV screening protocol has been adopted in most, if not all, of Canada now. It is WAY less obtrusive, pain-free even for most of us with pelvic floor issues, and much more accurate than the old Pap test.

For serious. My spouse hates making decisions. He hems and haws and hesitates... and still he has no interest in outsourcing to AI because he has a functional brain!

James Alistair Henry@jamesbluecat.bsky.social · 3d ago

Explained to my daughter that I'm fairly relaxed about people increasingly relying on AI for every decision because eventually all those people will just walk into the sea and drown and we can have all their stuff, but she didn't seem 100% convinced.

Hey @timhortonsofficial.bsky.social ! Y'all are platforming a hideous genocidal transphobe in JK Rowling with your Harry Potter menu, so our Saturday breakfast delivery comes from A&W instead now. How you thought a HP promo was ok in 2026 is beyond me.

I need the related psych study for this, because 80% of the time when somebody is driving RIGHT ON MY ASS I see a closeup of the Ram logo in my rearview (because I drive a Honda Fit and that's where the Ram front bumper is positioned). And that's not the vehicle's issue...

I'm not sure why the conga line of pregnant people with a no-no slash through them on the back of the meds I'm taking makes me giggle, but it does. I was swiftly approved on *that* account by virtue of not having had operational fallopian tubes since 2003.

Righte now the greatest danger to the future of universityes ys universityes. Remembir the missioun, remembir the studentes, remembir those who have come bifor and will arryve aftir, remembir teachinge and learninge and dialogue. A universitye ys much more than a corporation wearinge a mortarboard.

Y'know at first I was thinking, "Well, I'm not a Classicist. Maybe if somebody did the Nolan treatment to Shakespeare I'd be mad." Then I realized that I actually adore all the wild shit people get up to with Shakespeare. As long as you're not fucking BELLOWING it in a park, you're good.

But what if we adore both splashy action movies and exceedingly smart women? There can be peace in our time!

2081: The war rages on. No nation states now exist. No commonwealths or republics or empires. No, only two politic impulses remain. The enduring struggle of the battle-hardened Nolanites against the Wilsonians.

Yes! I read Tevinter Nights. It is responsible for my Antivan Crow addiction. I have been told I should read The Masked Empire as well.

Sweet Lucanis and Meruka kiss comm by Keriweird on ko-fi/Tumblr!

It's true, I enjoyed the film but I'm also enjoying these female scholars having a field day with it. I'm quite sure The Odyssey wasn't actually about The Odyssey (which I have read). And that's ok with me, a Medievalist rather than a Classicist, but I also understand why it'd piss people off.

Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · last wk.

I loved the movie and am already making plans to see it again. However, as I’m a messy bitch who lives for the drama, I am LIVING for this review of the film by Emily Wilson. She eats him UP! Hehehe!

Considering last year's runaway global hit was an aggressively French JRPG and one of the absolute games of this summer is "Hide and Seek Where You Paint Yourself"... yep!

Shigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...
