THREAD.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I've collected his work here...

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

I’m buckling down and finishing writing my Yuletide fic today … right after I straighten the living room and clean the kitchen.

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

I have been given the shiny and very real War Stopper Award by
USA Pickleball because I have stopped so many dozens of wars and whatnot. I am honored that my war stopping has been noticed by the foremost pickleball organization in the world.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Ooooh! I would demand:

1. A Page & Sommers tv series
2. Georgette Heyer’s Frederica
3. A Gideon the 9th tv series
4. Dungeons and Dragons 2
I would demand so many things. This is literally all I would do with power. To start with:

1. Dungeons & Dragons 2
2. Wes Anderson makes a slasher
3. An adaptation of the Will Darling Adventures by KJ Charles
4. A Batfamily movie or TV show (preferably TV show)
5: The Residence, Season 2
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I'm sorry, are we just not allowed to have pain medication now? Is it like heal yourself with Jesus and the power of positive thinking or nothing?
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

Award eligibility posts have apparently already started, so

"Four Questions With Something Like God" was my only story published this year. It's interactive fiction about what comes After, and I'd love more people to read it. I'm rather proud of this one.

Apologies in advance—I will be reposting.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, & one song you can’t stand:

— Balut
— Wit (good movie, so depressing)
— Kashmir

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
