One of these days I'm going to go to a school board meeting as a "concerned parent", read an excerpt from a book that is absolutely vile, get everyone to agree that should absolutely be banned in schools, and then reveal that was from the Bible. Because there's tons of stuff in the Bible you could

Even when it's cold, raining, and I'm fighting nausea from having nothing in my stomach but peanut butter and alcohol (don't ask), I still fucking love NYC.

Thing I realized after 10 years, rewatching Captain America: Civil War. Steve put together "Team Cap" to go fight Zemo and the other Winter Soldiers. Tony put together "Team Iron Man" to fight their own friends. Intent matters. You still gonna say Stark was in the right?

Hey @throne.com! Just so you know, one of your brands is selling stickers featuring stolen artwork- including my own. I would really appreciate it if it was removed. Thank you. throne.com/products/p/5...

Met @3llebelle.bsky.social today at #PaxEast Such an intelligent and beautiful human being. 11/10, would recommend.

@camillapanda.bsky.social So that giveaway you were running for @officialpax.bsky.social East? Yeah, I apparently won!

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

I want a new staging of the American Idiot musical where, while Tunny still joins the military, during the "Favourite Son" number that inspired him, the Favourite Son dresses as ICE. Nothing else changed, just a visual "fuck you" to ICE. Do it, you cowards.

You know what I absolutely love? And by love I mean hate with a fiery passion? We're all quick to point at something and go "omg is that ai?" without doing the due diligence to check if it is or if it was created by an actual human being who you've now just insulted. But when something actually has

If Trump wants to say that Pro-Palestinian protesters were "inciting violence" with their speech, then he has to admit what he said on Jan 6 was "inciting violence" and be tried for treason immediately. No ifs ands or buts, you can't have it both ways, you fucking moron.

Saying "I know people who've been SA'd and therefore that's how everyone must feel" to an actual SA survivor who doesn't agree with you is a wild take.

If you're going to try and defend a certain actor's honor by linking to a 5 year old article that's an opinion piece and also calls *Justin Baldoni* a sweetheart... Yeah, I don't put much stock in that article writer's opinion. Also, it basically says the original actor in question is a sweetheart

This post and all the replies give me hope for humanity, and that maybe, just maybe, media literacy isn't dead just yet.

People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”.

One day people stop saying that "Character B is just a plot device for Character A" or "Character B only exists to make Character A sad". As if whatever's happening in the story isn't actually happening to Character B as well. Right now it the Helluva Boss fandom being *angry that a child is upset

Absolutely fucking not. This is the result of the death of criticism, lack of training in literary analysis, and lies about AI (it’s not intelligent, it does not create/engage with meaning, it’s a theft-based, pattern prediction machine). You want more content after you read a book? Hang out on Ao3

Says the CEO of HarperCollins on AI: "One idea is a “talking book,” where a book sits atop a large language model, allowing readers to converse with an AI facsimile of its author." Please, just make it stop, somebody. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

No one is surprised by my Twitch 2024 Recap. static-cdn.jtvnw.net/recap-sharea...

Are you sick of looking for fic of your OTP on AO3 and ending up with them as a only a side pairing in EVERY SINGLE FIC? Wish there was a way to sort for ONLY the pairing you're looking for? THERE IS! otp:true These are like the "secret menu items" of AO3 searching, have fun

I stg, if I see one comment about the newest Helluva Boss episode that says "Stolas still doesn't get it, he's still treating Blitz like shit," I will burn it all to the ground in effigy of media literacy. For the love of Lucifer, take a damn Literature 101 class before you sling shit.

Just discovered someone I once respected has become (or maybe always was and hid it before) a right wing MAGA misogynist asshole. And why I only just discovered this is because I had blocked so many things I wasn't seeing his posts anymore to realize.

That awful moment when it's two hours past bedtime but you're on a writing roll for the first time in a while so you refuse to stop. RIP sleep. #writing
