Screenwriter Chic@screenwriterchic.bsky.social · 5d agoMy son on the spectrum wrote a book and it drops this month! Plz clap! He worked so hard! (If you have youngsters who love silly chapter books this is one for you!)
If there’s one thing I truly regret, it’s not dying from COVID. I could have spared myself all this.
His name isn't really "Mr. Thomas the cat." It's just Mr. Thomas but I always say Mr. Thomas the cat so I don't accidentally post something like "Mr. Thomas is sitting in my lap" and have you all over there picturing naughty stuff you don't need to be thinking about.
I grew up when journalists seemed to accept personal risk to expose corruption and bring the truth to light. Now, if they’re not asking flattering questions and/or repeating lies, they’re producing articles like, “I asked ChatGPT about [something] and this is what it said…” We’re regressing.
Having sampled those 3 types of work, found corporate work to have many flaws; I now work for a state park. I’ve never been happier & healthier. I enjoy helping others, improving human conditions, the humility of some simple labor, the meaning of building something for everyone. Can AI do that?
1 Billion dollars squandered to bring misery and suffering. 100 Billion dollars for a pointless war of choice, THAT WE ARE LOSING!!!! Countless Billion$$$$ stolen by the Trump Crime Family. Not a penny to improve the lives for most Americans, not even his gullible cult members.
Sunset in South Australia on a Friday evening. Almost peaceful and beautiful enough to forget about the state of the world. Almost.
I won’t deny that AI has its uses but I abhor how confidently it says “No, you’re wrong” before switching quickly to “You’re absolutely correct” when presented with facts, as though pretending it knew all along. We have unpleasant names for people like that. It’s the attitude of AI company bosses.
FIFA’s management were never known for integrity, but the orange menace has managed to make them look even worse. Is everything a farce now? Are honesty, decency, and integrity now similar to one’s taste in music? A personal preference of little or no consequence?
I'm getting stronger the older I get. I can now lift £50 worth of food shopping with one hand. 🐢💨
“Toxic” brand certainly sounds right. I am very relieved that it’s not going to happen. A Trump tower on the Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise), or anywhere in Australia, would be galling. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Plans for Australia's first Trump Tower scrapped due to 'toxic' brand, developer says
The 91-storey luxury hotel on the Gold Coast in Queensland was meant to be Australia's tallest building.

As an opera singer, THIS!! What do you mean you’re a “classically trained voice teacher” but you have never listened to Pavarotti or Maria Callas? It’s literally not physically possible with a “classical” syllabus. One “voice teacher” reacted to Stevie Nicks for the very first time. Like???

I think we’re at the stage where civilised governments should permit dignified assisted suicide for anyone mentally capable of making the decision, regardless of state of health. Unpopular opinion, I know, but why force people to go on when the will to do so is long gone?
Not many vocal coaches listen to music while growing up, judging by the volume of “Vocal coach listens to [very famous singer] for the first time!” videos online.
He is like a litmus test for decency. If you could build a community/state/nation comprised solely of people who can’t abide him, you’d have somewhere I’d love to be.
Not content to merely infuriate people all over the world with his lies and poor character alone, he initiates actions that negatively impact them in tangible and significant ways. The projected annual earnings on my retirement savings dropped by almost half in one week. I truly despise that guy.
The “Send Barron” thing really only works if he cares about his offspring being in danger. I don’t believe he does. I think the only reason he wouldn’t like that is simply the risk that they embarrass him by being suckers/losers.

I derive far too much satisfaction from setting the colour of LED game controllers to match the game I’m playing. I love these controllers. Hollow Knight is the best gaming experience that I have ever had, and I’ve been playing video games for around 40 years. The little things that make us happy.
Another one to block. At least they didn’t even try to be subtle with their handle: @fuckyourfeelings85.bsky.social
I wish I'd thought to buy a great big bunch of packs of gum that one day in 8th grade. "Did you bring enough for the whole class, Mr. Coffman?" Sho' nuff did, smartass!
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

When you say “let that sink in” you are saying “I think you are slow, so you need more time to understand and process what I just said.” It’s not very nice.
V for Vendetta had a big impact on me. Both the graphic novel and then the film. I did not expect it to be so relevant now. Dominic: What do you think will happen? Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people with guns.
I wonder if there are any Americans thinking, “Gee, maybe I should have voted.” Any Muslims for Trump thinking, “Maybe he wasn’t all that sincere.” Latinos for Trump thinking, “Maybe it’s not just the other ones he was talking about.” Or are they always lost, unable to see it?
