Social media isn't really my thing so mostly I just lurk and stay up to date with other creatives... mainly ppl I follow or know from other places.
I don't post my work on Bluesky, but you can find it elsewhere:

When the review uses vague buzzwords and says more about the reviewer than the thing it reviews I know I've found something important.
I bought the book Natives by Akala, precisesly because someone said it was "divisive" and I don't actually live in an "echo-chamber". XD

Thankfully I've never been convinced when a review fails to acknowledge subjective biases and poses as an objective moral arbiter.
I question:
How does the reviewer say this?
Who would say something like this?
What else have they said?
Why would they say something like this?
Where is the evidence?

In before some humorless twonk whines about taking rhetorical devices too literally: science is fun though, so shush!

🤔 If A, "nobody will read it" as Max claims, then either B, Max and everybody else didn't read it and therefore cannot know if it is propaganda or not, or C, Max is nobody(doesn't exist). Since the universe didn't implode under that paradox we can conclude the statement is false (Max is a fool). 🧑🔬

Step 1 full charge, step 2 set calendar alarm for 48hrs time, step 3 put it on airplane mode and drop it down the back of the sofa and forget until calendar alarm. (I have actually done this ngl.)

"Why think for yourself when a machine we programmed can tell you what to think?"
The machine:
"I just snuck in -sorry- I mean "hallucinated" a great replacement conspiracy theory into this summary of The Merchant of Venice because the best time to recruit for the alt-Right is during GCSE English."

Nobody is shocked about it either. Like we all knew.

Know what? I think I am old enough I can use this meme now. No joke at this point if I won the lottery I'd get a big house somewhere that doesn't suck, and legit adopt a load of kids that get disowned because I know what that's like to need a parent or guardian that is %100 in your corner.

*Knew their fossil record predated the record for flowering plants. I didn't know the record had been discovered to go back farther in time even more, this bit is juicy new info! :)

I actually knew about this already. www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
It inspired this #sciart abt 2 years ago. :)

No joke I just spent 3 years at uni to go into the "industry" and what I learned most in that time is that calling it that is entirely symptomatic of how labor is undervalued: the big corporates have huge markets they could easily afford to pay artists 2-3x what they do and still make mass profits.

Sadly I think it's apathy too. I know lots of people who became aware of her other problematic stuff 12-15yrs ago, long before she got overt. It was just part of the process of growing up to realise separating creator from creation only works when said creator is dead, and/or not profiting from it.

I can't imagine using up that much oxygen just to be a duckhead.
Like wow, it's always people miserable in their own lives that do that too.

Are you using Librewolf browser? The image looks scrambled on my end, it sometimes happens like this when uploading images. There's a photo symbol in the URL bar on the upload page that controls this.

Actually, I really like the snarky humor of the undead in the cinema making their "helpful" suggestions to him, it was almost like something out of Airplane!

I kinda got the impression the pedestrian parts are just paced like that because a lot of British television shows and movies had that plod-along pace and maybe that was a deliberate juxtaposition.... or maybe I'm just overthinking the crap out of it! XD

Sorry I'm a history nerd: The Damage, Tank, and Healer are core in team games and MMOs because they mimic the basic principles of actual warfare: The offense, defense, and the support/supply. The army laying siege to a castle often wins because the castle can't maintain defense if supply is cut off.

Or, hear me out, we use a glass cannon build to one shot, because in games "defeat foe = win" & there's no ai that gets bored or tired and eventually gives up if you have an insurmountable defense, so to play defense in a game if you don't have an effective offense is just to lose through attrition.

Sometimes audio descriptive subtitles are weird tho, you get (distant dog barking), but when you put the volume at 100 and rewind it back for that bit you still don't hear a dog and it makes me wonder if audio descriptive is taken from the filming script and not what got left in by the sound editor.

How I know it's got bad: When you have to quote the villain from the Lorax movie in the affirmative sense.
(This was the first thing that went through my head too.)
