Nothing gets me unfollowing a cosplayer, streamer or other content creator faster than seeing them per or promote Harry Potter content. It's such a small, simple litmus test and seeing creative people router belt fail it is disheartening.

It is so hot that the weather widget in Bazzite has just noped out. I get zero weather right now.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures "If the abnormal goes on long enough it becomes the normal. It was just that, when you came to explain it to a third party, it sounded odd."

I didn't expect to wake up to my favorite British Pub in LA promoting an upcoming Halloween event with an AI-generated poster, but it's happened now. I'm going to miss you, Robin Hood Pub. You do great sausage rolls. But I won't support a business that uses genAI. It's a hard line.

I confess that Taylor Lorenz’s recent comments about social media addiction and her use of X were part of what made me want to finally go ahead and write this. www.liberalcurrents.com/portraits-of...

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

extremely pathetic post, but does someone want to send me money for like a fucking haircut and some cat food lmao

So this post inspired @lartist.bsky.social to send me something for his Pinuptober prompts this month, and it's wonderful and bonkers. But I'll wait for him to post it before I share. Suffice to say, I've never looked sexier. You'll love it. (Or not? I don't want to tell you your feelings.)

The minute I figure out how to take and post a thirst trap photo without wanting to swandive into a piranha tank afterward, it's over for you bitches.

Im so very sorry to be so pushy right now but I really do need a bit of help with medical costs & transport. Things are tight and it's getting very hard to cover everything. Any little bit & sharing helps. I know i ask for a lot and things...keep happening. Im sorry. I really am.

Republicans are very open about what they want to do. And they’re happy to tell you if you ask.

People are seldom actually stupid. They can be rude, selfish, self-absorbed, uncurious, unserious, inattentive, unobservant, callous, thoughtless, heartless, uncritical, unfocused, unreasonable, and ignorant, but they are almost never, ever stupid.

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" is playing on the Pluto TV Deep Space Nine channel right now, and whoever did the closed captions needs their hearing checked, because Worf's famous line is captioned as "Step to the opposition."

@damnyouwillis.bsky.social Possibly you already know this, but the DOA RSS feed appears to be borked. Feedly can't connect to it, and the last strip that shows in the feed is from 9/22.

You could not pay me to install that decomp browser/management app on my computer. Oh, a program that just blindly pulls Github projects and installs them with no oversight? Sounds great! Do these wires come in any colors other than lime?

like i legitimately hate posting like this but i am down to my last few spendable dollars (i do not use my money that is not in venmo/cashapp/paypal) for anything but bills and rent. as a disabled person. i would love to be able to get like groceries and order food. but i would also like a JOB

Keen to see if the Xbox disc-to-digital thing works for games that ONLY got physical releases, like LEGO Dimensions (just the disc, of course - I'm not expecting support for virtual LEGO figs or whatever, don't be silly).

I've had the MITHOS TTRPG toolkit on my Steam wishlist for a while, and it's on sale now. I'm trying to find reviews for it online (Steam reviews aren't much use for things like this, and I can't watch videos where I am at the moment) and the only thing I can find is press releases.
