Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

Okay, what’s with the Sugababes putting up a countdown?! WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN IN FIVE DAYS SEVENTEEN HOURS AND FIFTY MINUTES OMG LADIES I’M DYINGGGGGGG
I need my tendency to always fall in love with the doomed side characters to be studied and cured, thanks.
As a foreigner, researching Texan history to write Twilight fanfiction was a traumatic experience.

Fuck Harry Potter, read Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising sequence instead. But also watch Sailor Moon. 💖

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
In my mind I built this narrative that I lost interest in “real” sex around the time of the pandemic. But I’ve just reread lyrics I wrote through my twenties, and two thirds of them are about how much dating and hooking up bored me, and what an invariable disappointment sex and relationships were.
Flatline by the Sugababes turns 13 today. I imagine there’s some alternate timeline where it became the massive hit it deserved to be, their album got a proper, timely rollout, they kept touring and making music all through the 2010s, and the world never left its hopecore phase. 🥲

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? Though admittedly, I remember that year for the movie I hated the most that came out when I was 20 years old (which was the “adaptation” of Dorian Gray).

Look, I know my friend’s favourite Evanescence album being the self-titled was already indication enough that he‘s a tasteless trainwreck, but advertising his practice with a carousel that’s part AI slop and part Corporate Memphis?

What’s with the BlueSky algorhithm pushing on me boomers just resharing second-hand text-on-background platitude images with zero elaboration? Like, I even agree with most of them, but this ain’t Facebook, sir/ma’am, are you lost?
The only upside of gen AI I can think of is that it has shut up my environmental guilt over using AC and taking very long showers. If we’re so adamant about dooming our planet in exchange for slopaganda, crappy flyers and legal-washed CSAM, I might as well enjoy my little comforts on the way out.
If the mistral holds a few days and cools down my town, I promise I fast-track the Boreas and Zephyros fanfiction. 🙏🏻

So, writing my Greek Mythology smut I tend to leave the guys as physically nondescript as possible (aside from, you know, general smoking hotness) so the readers can picture them however they prefer. But I do obviously have my own ideal cast in mind, and I picture Ares as François Arnaud.
You know, with Rupert Grint it isn’t even about career suicide, ‘cause at this point it’s more like euthanasia. It’s about the sheer humiliation of having had to grovel before a smug, smirking, cigar-smoking Joanne, repeating after her. ‘Cause we all KNOW it happened. Can you imagine the sting?
What’s with all the WRONG 80-year-olds dying this week? Can we get the next right please?
I almost made a joke on how bold it was to cast Kit Harington in a kid’s series, where there’s no way he can show the only assets he’s really worth having on-screen for, but then I realised I sincerely have never really liked him from the neck down either.
