Today is "Soft Rains Day" for those who remember this haunting 1950 Ray Bradbury piece. It's classic Bradbury, eerily accurate w/ its predictions in some respects (looking at you, Alexa), and well worth a few moments of your day to read if you're so inclined.
Lisa Kadonaga@tapirtrouble.bsky.social · 2d agoSoft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012
happy ray bradbury's "there will come soft rains" day to all

In case you missed it: if you uploaded something to DTRPG before they instituted their policy in mid-2023 and didn't pointedly set the "created by humans" flag, *go check it and make sure it's set right.*

I'm absolutely appalled that Tim Hortons has chosen to partner with the Harry Potter franchise, and enrich JK Rowling, whose unapologetic and public bigotry targets a tiny and incredibly vulnerable queer minority group. You can call Tim Hortons and tell them the same at 1-888-601-1616.

one of the fun things about marathon is that many of the crashes and glitches may be interpreted as diegetic for example, feedback from a fusion shotgun that fries your own neural link to the shell
