Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Today in "Mo is using the Battlestar Galactica book to Yell About Some Stuff," an excerpt from the work in progress below. Am I still fucking annoyed at how annoying some people were in the Watcher comment sections during BSG's final season? No idea what you're talking about, hmm, will ponder:

understood the anticipatory grief about the show ending, and wanting more of some things and less of others. But to say that the characters on the show about people confronting emotional and existential crises in space should not have a lot of big emotions near the end of the story… that was, in a word, silly. And Moore has always disliked the attempts to turn “soap opera” into an insult. “I always hate that comment. Not just about the final season, but I hate when people say anything that’s a really character-focused or about relationships is ‘just a soap opera,’” Moore said. “Soap operas are a legitimate form in and of themselves. They’ve been for around for a very long time, and people love them.” They do, but the core viewers of the traditional daytime soap operas were typically women. Any time anything is coded as female, certain terms get turned into slurs, including “romance novel,” “soap opera,” “melodrama” and so on. Using words like that as insults is not only about sexism, but there were times I had to turn comments off because the misogyny and abusive language in those comment sections were off the charts. Also, in decades of covering the industry, I’ve found those who throw around the “soap” term usually mean one of two things: “This is about people’s feelings in a way that makes me uncomfortable,” and/or “too many women are talking in this.”

JK Rowling funding her trans exterminationist campaigns by selling children's books to liberals 🤝 the NYT funding their trans exterminationist campaigns by selling puzzle games and recipes to liberals (and also for both, cis people will get really upset at trans people asking them not to)

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

My Spider-Man review: I had a fun time! Good to spend a couple hours with my buddy, Spider-Man, who is GOING THROUGH IT. Also, if you know me, you know the third act reveal that had me SCREAMING AND CLAPPING LIKE A SEAL

I think it's good that Mamdani is Just Doing Stuff but more people gotta realize that it is not a matter of Will or motivation or whatever but because the NYC Mayor, as an office, is one of the uniquely powerful individual offices you can hold in the United States (seriously)
