I unfollowed Mike after he was censoring comments on his Neil Gaiman post in 2024, and when I told him I would be doing that, he blocked me. he’s been trash for a minute and I hope more people bin him accordingly bsky.app/profile/rach...
Rachel Manija Brown@rachelmanija.bsky.social · 2y agoFYI, @file770.bsky.social is censoring comments on its Neil Gaiman post. For the record, I commented that it's not a good look to spend more time and effort complaining about people not crediting him and being wrong about reblogs than on the actual story about Neil Gaiman being a sexual predator.
they want cultural capital but they hate culture and want to buy it with capital, it's an incredible combination
both these dudes would have a 3 month long meltdown about unfairness if you offered them a publishing salary

Take home Pumpkin and Spice before Halloween! This bonded pair needs a home together.
Absolutely nothing passive about this aggression. When someone with a known history of abuse is staffed with you, no one is safe to be there. If employing abusers is the hill you choose to die on, may your platform's digital pyre go unattended.
File 770@file770.bsky.social · 3d agoThere's some genuine passive aggression.
Meg makes the very point of the Nazi bar story here. You can't let a *single one* in, because as soon as one Nazi feels comfortable in your bar he'll bring friends, and before you know it they've taken over. In this instance, it looks like File 770 invited JDA in and have served him.
Meg Elison@megelison.bsky.social · 3d agoIt's a great day to unfollow @file770.bsky.social, which has become a Nazi bar.

Instead of getting angry at other drivers, I'm just going to assume this is what they are doing and I shall be at peace

Reminiscent of when the Grabby Oligarchs Party tried to ratfuck Warren by saying she absolutely bed-wrecked a Marine.

Mount Toberead finally allowed me at @buehlmeister.bsky.social's THE THRICE-BOUND FOOL, and even just a little way in, I can tell you the plot is "Now how fucked are you? BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!" (complimentary). The prose is fucked too (also complimentary).
I was shocked—SHOCKED—when I told my wife (who is All About the 80s) that Donnie Iris had passed and she said, "Who?" Told her the name of the song; she shook her head. Started playing the video; shrug. Only when it hit the refrain did she FINALLY recognize it.
Keep the river flowing.

This is definitely the name of an English "It Girl" actor who suddenly turns up in everything and when you look into it her father owns Shropshire.

Well, that's one dealership my wife and I will never, EVER give our business to or recommend (in fact, we'll be recommending AGAINST them from now on). Hope that two hundred extra bucks you snaked out of us was worth it, pal.
*incoming short-rant klaxon* IF YOU SAY IT'S GONNA TAKE THREE HOURS, YOUR CUSTOMER IS GOING TO PLAN FOR THREE HOURS, *NOT ALL FUCKING DAY* LIKE *YOU* KNEW FROM THE GODDAMN GET-GO *Communicate* with your customers, assholes.
My friend sent this picture. Enjoy.
As I've said before, it's only once I became a professor that I realized the entmoot, a meeting that goes on for three days and three nights, was a professor's joke about faculty meetings.
Kieran Healy@kjhealy.co · 3d agoThe Lord of the Rings is essentially a series of faculty meetings broken up by several long walks in the countryside.
For preemptive blocking ease. Don't give him attention. He years for your attention. Make him sad and forget he exists like I had and am about to again.
Will "scifantasy" Frank@scifantasy.bsky.social · 3d agoJDA is doing a round of responses on a new Bsky account. He asked me what part of his article I disagreed with. I blocked him. No fucking around here.
