My cats are SO ENJOYING the two new catbeds I bought for them to make their cat tree more winter-appropriate! I’ve put a smol radiator next to the cat tree and used foil-lined card under & around the beds to insulate them and make them self-heating and now they are cosy cosy cosy!

So, ijs, quite apart from the truthiness and the dark comedy, part of the appeal of this image is how the composition alludes to The Golden Ratio.

(Similarly the whole time I lived in London, back in the 90s, I always had a physical copy of Phylis Pearsal’s London A-Z book in my bag, because there was no Google, let alone Google Maps, & no mobile phones. The A-Z was a glorious thing.)

Oh, lord, this is SO much more enjoyable than #Alchemised! It COULD have been terrible (because the world building is very much worse than Voyage of The Damned), but the authors wisely set out their stall from the start, establishing that we are in the firmly non-realistic realm of bedtime stories.

These goal posts seem to be goal posts YOU MADE UP IN YOUR HEAD, Jeanne, because at no point in this conversation did I ever say she couldn’t be headcanoned as Asian. 🤷♀️

It’s the kind of language you use when the company is selling access to you to its advertisers, and thus you literally ARE their product and the advertisers are their customers.

Oh my God, THEIR DATA WAS COLLECTED FROM A SEX ADDICTION COUNSELLING GROUP.
And even drawing from that demographic, 2/3 of them *didn’t* use generative AI for sexual/romantic purposes.

And you’re mindlessly parroting their interpretation?

Having just seen James Gunn’s #Superman, I have to say that anyone whining about it being woke simply doesn’t actually LIKE Superman.
God, that was a good Superman movie.
