Just watched the trailer for Primetime, and it confirms what we always knew: Aaron Sorkin's navel gazing SNL show never stood a chance when something so cheap and salacious was available. It's practically a Studio 60 plot!

Sam Adams@samadams.bsky.social · 2w agoWorth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

Stumbling across that picture of Cathy Guisewite and discovering that she was an absolute smoke show is a canon event.
“Larry… I’m on DUCKTAILS” is every intergenerational conversation, distilled to its essence.
honestly a rich person reacting to experiencing a consequence for the first time with “Wait, what? Me?” is a perfect encapsulation of why this was a good idea

"I don't understand why you, a fantasy writer, don't appreciate the value of making bargains with the fae."
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 3w agoEvery now and then someone takes a run at me along the lines of "I don't understand why you, a scifi writer, don't appreciate 'AI'," and I'm all, motherfucker, it's *because* I'm a science fiction writer I have the positions I have, how many times do we have to fucking yell "torment nexus," my dude
