No Scrubs is an updated version of The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd and in this essay I will--

It's silently costing people friends and other connections, too. If I see that you are posting or reposting gen AI content I'm unlikely to say anything but I will immediately lose interest in striking up any kind of conversation, friendship, or working relationship. And I know I'm not the only one.

Every now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude

Rfk jr is an evil liar. We were converting in patient units into makeshift icus so that we had space for surge capacity. I will hate this man into my next seven lifetimes.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

John Cornyn & Thom Tillis issue a joint statement announcing they will support Todd Blanche for AG. He's now in good position to clear the Judiciary Committee tomorrow and head to the full Senate.

Does ANYBODY know when the Reality Fracture web fiction will drop? I'm searching and the internet keeps informing when the set will drop. I AM FULLY AWARE IT'S OCTOBER 2ND, THANK YOU, I NEED TO KNOW WHEN I START GETTING THE LORE. Your (un)friendly neighborhood Vorthos

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. (Doing a different one from my usual faves of Big Eden and Grosse Pointe Blank)

And in today's news of services that I reluctantly pay for and now have crashed, let's give it up for Adobe. Just fucking crashing left and right as I'm attempting to work. So glad I'm spending all this money so I can get a shitty program that only works when it feels like it.

All this. So tired of white people. Denying slavery EVER EVEN HAPPENED HERE?! (That's very Oregon, TBH. "Oh, no, our original state constitution wasn't written to provide a whites-only-state, oh no that never ever happened.) Sigh. Please, global warming - hurry up. I beg you.

Peolle really do just be going on Threads to say whatever shit they want without giving a damn about things like facts or objective reality, huh?

Another day of feeling totally left behind and left out for needing to mask, and because of mobility inaccessibility and pure structural and institutional ableism.

Great news for men from Nantucket.

More of my history I never learned

Ida B Wells' Winchester Rifle@dytsras.bsky.social · 2w ago

One of the craziest things in American history happened once on July 27th. I wouldn't be surprised if you never heard it, but the story has everything and represents everything America is. But they'll never tell your kids. They sure didn't tell me 🧵

I can't believe that I'm being forced to vote for Ed Markey, but Seth Moulton is a mealy-mouthed fucking toad "centrist." Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.

At no point in this sentence did I know what was coming next.

I have ruined my own ability to listen to Linkin Park's In The End. How dare a stupid card game trailer from 6 year ago emotionally compromise me so.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

This is what they admitted to to avoid discovery, BTW. So I’m going to want any Dem running to promise to release and declassify EVERYTHING.

NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

What happened in Ebenezer Scrooge’s life to make him who he is today? Unfortunately Dickens doesn’t give us even a tiny bit of background. 🤷🏻‍♂️

these Young Male Christians should form some sort of Association, then they could offer services beyond gymnasiums and shower facilities, such as short-term lodging at which it might be fun to stay

It's an updated version where Odysseus is trying to get to Dunks through Boston back streets and construction.

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”
