Matt Zoller Seitz@mattzollerseitz.bsky.social · yesterday"The events of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” occur today: August 4, 2026. Like so many dates in science fiction, this one probably seemed far away when it was chosen, but once it was finally upon us, it passed like all days." www.rogerebert.com/mzs/silhouet...

we've spent the past however many years getting our tastebuds and thoughts hijacked and funny how this latest entry into the synapse-firing scheme just goes... womp-womp. the food isn't real, it's 𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡... what is remotely tasty about that.

am going to participate in "Soft Rains" day by reading Ray Bradbury's There Will Come Soft Rains today and it's lovely to have a feed full of posts earnestly celebrating such literary milestones.
reading about BMW putting spider-man ads on their dashboard and am reminded of this... we do have bigger fires burning right now, but at some point it we need a new consumer rights bill, where uninvited software can be downloaded, where ad serving expectations are set & met.
elena perez@thisiselena.bsky.social · last wk.somebody's gotta ban these involuntary downloads. they can call it the Songs of Innocence bill.
I am so into the casting of Furious. Always love Emmy and Scoot, but I can't get enough of Quincy Tyler Bernstine... edge of my seat over here waiting for Nora to blow up.

At your next meal, take a second to think about the people working long hours in HOT 100° temps to put food on your table. They're not just statistics. They're real people who can't avoid the heat in an air conditioned house or office. #WeFeedYou
saw a video with 2 women flipping about a '90s sitcom actress wearing the same awful jeans over & over.... but — jean options were BLEAK in the 1990s! There was no "search by cut" option online, lol. Those jeans were e v e r y w h e r e and to mix it up, you had to HUNT, thrift, buy men's jeans...

I like the direction of this bill. a discount and, possibly, healthcare... 🤔
Miles Grant@milesgrant.bsky.social · 4d agoWent to highwayside gas station for road trip grab & go dinner with kids & groaned aloud when I realized it was self-checkout - would’ve gone anywhere else Dems everywhere should copy this bill to require a 10% discount for self-checkout
