Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

If you want to look to find the bit of science fiction culture of today that is likely most similar to the slot that Hitchhiker's fit into in the 80s, I might suggest Dungeon Crawler Carl to you. It's NOT a 1:1 fit, so settle down, but for humor/absurdity/weird melancholy, it's in the neighborhood.

Elsewhere on Bluesky folks are noting that The Kids These Days aren't much into Douglas Adams. As someone who is much into Douglas Adams (and in fact wrote an intro to new edition of his works) allow me to remind folks that it's not actually surprising when The Kids aren't into decades-old stuff.

The Orville started 9 years ago today. "Set 400 years in the future, the crew of the U.S.S. Orville continue their mission of exploration, navigating both the mysteries of the universe, and the complexities of their own interpersonal relationships."

On this day—60 years ago!—Star Trek premiered on American television with the episode “The Man Trap” and history was made. The episode was chosen to be first because it had action, a monster, and showed “strange new worlds.” Happy Star Trek Day!

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

An update to the "BIG HEAD/LARGE FACE" readers I ordered recently…they're not actually any larger than the readers I found a couple weeks ago, but they're not bad. Now I have a lot of them 😬 But if anyone ever sees readers for "COLOSSAL HEAD/ENORMOUS FACE" don't hesitate to let me know 😀

I ended up ordering some readers from Amazon because all the readers I’ve found locally at like Longs or Walmart are kinda narrow/small for my face, and the description on Amazon for the ones I ordered is…unforgiving 😝😝😝

A cropped screenshot of the description of the reader glasses I purchased from Amazon, which reads “Blue Light Blocking Reading Glasses Men Large Wide Oversized Square Computer Readers Glasses for Big Head/Large Face”.
