I mostly post random thoughts about comics, wrestling, movies, music, and politics. I write stories. I'm trying to sell a novel. I work in a library.

I do NOT go about making accusations of plagiarism lightly and I would not have taken this public if I thought I had any legal recourse at all, but more than 30 YEARS AGO 'The Bone Temple' is what, when I was a teenager, I named my bedroom

Taps sign. If you are gonna resist, flee, protect people, etc., do not post about it. And do not identify others who take their stand. Protect yourselves, and each other.
There is a time when, if you are anticipating things are gonna get really bad, you need to safeguard yourself by not posting in advance about how you intend to deal with said things once they do get bad. Don't leave receipts for the gestapo, all.
I'm serious.

Every single match I've played in the Midweek Magic event I have gotten an opening hand with 1 fetch land, mulliganed down to 5 cards with 3 lands, drawn one more land, and then never seen another land, no matter how many turns the game has gone. It's possible I'm wildly unlucky, but...

The opening fight sequence in the new Daredevil looks fake as fuck. It was like watching a poorly done video game cutscene.

I often see this claim that LLMs are useful, but I never really see specific examples of the usefulness. What can you actually use these things for? What are they good at, that a human being wouldn't be equally, or more, capable of?
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

I played Ultimate Werewolf for the first time recently and I don't understand why the werewolves are villains. They don't do anything. They just look at each other.

I'm listening to a podcast called Bright Sessions and, up until now, I've been really enjoying it. In the 3rd season there's an episode where a person with the supernatural ability to compel obedience attempts to kidnap a character's boyfriend.

Just walked out of Walmart with a $200 bike for free! Last year I bought $1000 of goods from Walmart while they bought $0 of goods from me (trade deficit), so I imposed a 20% tarrif on the store because apparently they owe me something despite the fact that nobody forced me to buy anything from them
