just got a targeted ad that was like “have YOU 🫵 worked through dinner again?!” And I get the algorithm’s play here. Wildly untreated ADHD, a fiction writer’s guilt about leisure time, etc. But I could be in a Blitz situation, dodging bombs in WW2 era London, and I would still make time for dinner
been thinking in tweet-form lately which is how you know I'm not well in the old brain category
What puzzle-solving item would be found on your body in a resident evil game?
this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to hang out in the middle east while he starts the same war every day. when a missile blasts you into pieces he'll say your last words were "we must build a new ballroom in the white house" before your body is even cold. good luck soldier

A24 detonating many years of accumulated goodwill for a quick payday is disappointing but not surprising
Mathew Buck@filmbrainbmb.bsky.social · last mo.A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

the litfic/genre wars are heating up again (as they do on a seasonal basis) and I must implore you: just read widely and learn to enjoy challenging yourself. it's weird to be proud of not liking things that you refuse to engage with as a point of taste-based identity.
