Feel it's important to get this into the consciousness before the Neuromancer series starts but ACAB includes topless French Turing cops.

I was so thrilled to be asked by Molly to read Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” for the story’s advent. What does luxury and convenience and complacency leave behind? What is a manicured corner worth in a mutilated world? Can I make “will” the important word in the sentence?

Alas I didn't pull anything off for this to happen. The page is owned by Warners. I'm just the cheerleader.
Digital Prophet@digitalprophet.online · 2d agoAttention: Full episodes of #babylon5 are now available on the official B5 youtube channel. If you have not already watched the complete B5, now is the time. The greatest scifi show ever produced, now on the tubes. I dunno how @straczynski.bsky.social pulled this off. I suspect skullduggery.
Turning any inch thick stack of magic cards into a groma buromaschinen kolibri would have the advantage of being a much more interesting reminder of what I'm not doing with my time.
I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet
Having just spent an hour on transit and in a grocery store I think we need to start screening people for the gene that makes you clog aisles and sidewalks like a human fatberg and stomp everyone who fails into the machine that gibs baby roosters.
why has science not yet figured out a way to remove the caffeine from my body. it’s very simple: when I drank it, I needed it to live, and now, I need it gone before it kills me
The whole AI mess has been a massive W for Team Lifelong Struggle With Self Loathing and our inherent distrust of anything that shows us kindness, it’s a shame we aren’t worthy of it!
it is but well to be on friendly terms with all the inmates of the place one lodges in
A thing that lives in my head forever: for ADV’s original English dub, the actor of Shinji and the actor of Rei were married in real life, and they did a joint Real Audio interview on ADV’s site where the host asked if they ever “did the voices” when having sex, and they said “sometimes.”

people should be taught situational awareness in schools: don't stop in the middle of a trail/sidewalk if others are around, have your money ready, don't walk abreast a path if you're a slow-ass group, pay attention to the stoplight, etc.

I’m going to be over on the @loadingreadyrun.com channel tonight playing some Kill Team! I will be playing against @bengineeringtv.bsky.social’s Raveners in a custom mission that I wrote. Luckily the Murderwing has acquired a new toy 😈
I feel like even a few years ago there would have been a bloody brand Kumite over hp tie-ins, but now they’re down to Tim Hortons. Imagine partnering with a chain that contends with being a big deal in Canada.
It is right and good for people to have divergent critical opinions and perspectives concerning art and media.
wow it's almost like translating the language of a text integrates the perspective of the translator and will inherently be as much their work as the original text and yes you can read it in the original language which unfortunately makes you the translator
King's Quest 1-6 are part of Kingdom Hearts continuity.
Watching the Neuromancer trailer: "This looks okay but I'm going to withhold judgement unti... "he saw her eyes reflected in a cage of red neon"
amen. adaptation, not transliteration. look at any fandom to see what kind of analytical skill brittle, slavish adherence to a text gets you.
Zito@zeets.bsky.social · 2w agoI’m going to write an essay about not caring about adaptations are faithful retelling of the books, because what I’m more interested in is what the writers and directors can do with it. Literary nerds making that complaint is as annoying as comic book nerds whine about it.
Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him
