oh, AI, are you okay?

Friendly reminder that even if the Percy Jackson teaser looks amazing and it talks to our inner child and ofc we have all the right in the world to like it, we shouldn't forget about the wga strike. I don't wanna ruin the party, on the contrary.I'm SO excited for the show…. but its good to also remember what its happening on the real world.

This is just a reminder.Both excitement for the show and concern for the real people can coexist. Don't forget about neither… and if you can, always consider piracy

Do not pirate if you would not normally!

"SAG-AFTRA hasn’t called for consumers to stop streaming or avoid new movies in theaters.

Keeping the streamers’ income and viewership up gives the union leverage to ask for higher revenue stakes and residuals for the actors and writers. By canceling subscriptions to these streaming services, consumers would inadvertently be providing the streamers with more power to lowball the union when they return to the negotiating table"

I know it sounds backwards but please listen to what the unions tell you and don't take it into your own hands — they know what they're doing!

loving this new tiktok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s

"it sucks being obsessed with your ocs because if you wanna see stuff about them you have to make it" which is true But do you know what its like seeing someone else's ocs. someone you dont know personally or anything and find ocs of and get absolutely hooked with what litttle tidbits been fed and you cannot find Anything more about them now. what are you gonna do about this. ask for information? what? where. what. Nightmare.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

oh.

HA!

I actually own one of these still.

Douglas Adams was a computer nerd and knew exactly where tech was heading.

He also left a computing pun in the most profound question ever asked - 42 is the ASCII code for the asterisk, which in coding means “anything”, so the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything is “anything you want it to be” (which is super fucking cool).

[image: photograph of an Amazon Kindle with a page of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy displayed. the page text reads: rod, smooth and matt with a couple of flat switches and dials with one end; he also had a device that looked rather like a largish electronic calculator. This had about a hundred tiny flat press buttons and a screen about four inches square on which any one of a million “pages” could be summoned at a moment’s notice. It looked insanely complicated, and]

sorry

when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now

if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?

i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve

Okay but that actually goes really well with the metaphor. How did you get to where you are right now? Have things gotten better or worse? Does it seem like the trend is continuing?

Nobody's really an optimist or pessimist all the time, your outlook depends on the situation and how you arrived there.

I will Always Be A Big Old chunky Computer Fan i Love Those Guys...I Feel Like They'd be Perfect To Hold And Hug 🫶 Love yuo Forever Big Old Computers.

If you stayed the age of your birth DAY forever, how old you would be?

can you tell me you love me very much please

full offence but it should be illegal to use flashing or strobing images in adverts like straight up if a company has paid to force strobing shit in front of people then they have paid to directly hurt and potentially kill disabled people and whatever company they paid was fine with it. go to fucking jail and rot there.

the thing about edgy serial killer songs is that sometimes they slap sorry

scissor sisters: oh, i could bury you alive, but you might crawl out with a knife and kill me when i'm sleeping, that's why i can't decide whether you should live or die ^_^

may i share with you the best video on the internet

Hardware store saturday

for everyone who wants to make this bread, i found a few recipes

i’m not a staunch believer in the distinction between story and plot but people really do confuse plot for story a la the complaint about ‘plotless’ books. these books are certainly not for everyone, but they’re not bad just bc you found them boring lol

@angelsaxis worthy addition

i adopted this cat! nope, not a similar kitty, this very same cat!! he’s a sweetie yelling baby who loves snuggles and chicken. he has such a unique coat that makes him look like more of a raccoon? and as much as Death Metal Rat is the coolest name ever, he also has a secondary shorter name now which is Banyan

here’s the boy in his new home :3
