Oops, did a retail therapy, bought myself a wildly expensive treat out of my savings bc I've been sad. Now to try and savour this crumb of dopamine while staving off the buyer's remorse...

You see how it works? This group are taking action against Britain's participation in a genocide, but within weeks everyone will be calling *them* terrorists because the government says so.

Trying not to cry as I type this, but in regards to a recent court decision in the US: While yes, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is about vampires, it's also about growing up with your body against you and the constant destructive prison of this. young Hailey almost didn't make it. This book is for her.

[OMG! ZVP LIVE!]

Well butts, didn't know that - guess I'll have to check out Biblio!

Too tired and sad to go somewhere to enjoy the sunshine. And tomorrow I'll probably be too hot, given the forecasts. Stupid brain. Stupid meat carapace.

Hey, my wife and I noticed you across the bar and we really dig your tortured, hollow stare and hysterical, mewls and gibbers.

This is THE tweet of all time

The earth belongs to all of us or none of us. We shouldn't allocate rights & entitlements based on an accident of birth. We shouldn't deprive people of rights & entitlements for that reason either. Free movement for all - especially those who imminently need it most. #AyeWelcomeRefugees

Petition to change 'as sure as day follows night' to 'as sure as a heatwave in the UK is followed by an online American with Aircon where their empathy should be logging on to scold ppl suffering from heatstroke in Luton that they should simply have had a different infrastructure built in the 1900s'

DO NOT USE THIS. It will kill you.

Stop asking chatgpt, etc.,for facts. These bots don’t know facts.

We wuz robbed. Christopher Lee standing on top of a zeppelin punching pterodactyls whilst explaining to a big breasted woman how she is incorrect at calling them dinosaurs.

Taps the fucking sign aggressively

Oh my FUCK

When I was about 10 years old I thought Jehovah Witnesses were something to do with Chernobyl. Couldn't understand why people hated them knocking on the door, surely they had epic survival stories they felt compelled to share

I have discovered a planet. It is alone in space. The showy sunrise watches on its frosty forests. Perhaps one day we will be friends there.

If I didn’t already have a copy I would go buy one! (But I will go drop some money to the Sameer Project.)

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

New fan is here! Yay! It doesn't fuckin work! Yay!

I know I shouldn't give money to the New York Times, but you have to understand the New York Times was a really big part of my childhood and anyway I mostly just read New York Times fan fiction anyway

The urge to "um, actually" people is one we struggle with, but on social media it's multiplied exponentially higher.

What if finding steady, high-paying remote writing jobs with clear rates was easier? It is. I built a directory that proves it. Subscribe: rwjdirectory.substack.com

Yeah I’ll bet it is

RIP Agent Dale Cooper, you would have loved Whatsapp /Messenger voice notes #TwinPeaks

you know, it's always "support biodiversity!" and "let your garden be a thriving haven for insect life!" and never "walk face first into an invisible Entrapment-style mess of spider webs and dangling caterpillar silk, causing you to throw your goddamn cup of tea half way across the garden".

I love this because for once I actually have an interesting answer: I was on a rooftop bar in Singapore getting uncharacteristically drunk with a bunch of other games journos while we read news coming in from the Nintendo Direct I may have yelled "NO WAY YOU'RE TROLLING ME" when AAI came up... 😂

At uni I was up into the wee hours with coffee & Sainsbury's Basics coleslaw, desperately trying to stretch my essays to hit word count by adding "and so we find" and "it is the case that" Still got a 2:2 though, so I didnt do too badly!

i dream of a free world within my lifetime, a world without borders, a world with free movement, a world where we all have enough to survive, a world where my paranoia isn't rational
