Fan art of the character Murderbot from the TV show Murderbot. Murderbot is standing in a building that is burning down around it. It’s body language looks resigned. The thought bubble next to the character reads: I JUST WANT TO WATCH MY SHOWS.

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.

One panel comic with one person saying to another: Philip K Dick, Ray Bradbury. Like so many others in tech, I draw inspiration from completely misunderstanding those authors

re-reading the Locked Tomb books as one sometimes must and man: John's narration in Nona the Ninth really is the best villain monologue ever written. by the end you understand why they exist as a trope in the first place! because only a villain has the ego required to monologue!
NONA THE NINTH forgotten before. I said I swear to God, I didn't know what I was doing. A bunch of the guys were her old coworkers-guys she'd gone through training with in Porirua, beer buddies. I kept saying sorry, I'm sorry, I freaked out, it was an accident, I don't know what happened, when they opened fire I lost my head. I said I made a mistake. She let it go eventually because the others were telling her to lay off. Just said, Guys as careful as you shouldn't have accidents. If you've got a gun learn how to aim it. This is too big for fuck-ups now. Poor G- didn't know what to do. He never knew how to pick between me and P-. He said, In the end we dragged in all the corpses. For the skeleton army, I said. And I'd stopped kidding. For a while both of them stopped talking. He kicked at some of the old, wet rubble. A bad smell came out. He did not fix the bad smell. She said, "Did you ever find out what happened? With your accident?" He turned to her and he smiled a funny little smile. It only used one half of his mouth. In the dream his new eyes did not show happiness or unhappiness. And he said, "Come on, love. Guys as careful as me don't have accidents."

Forged in the Dark innovators thread! Who's doing cool new stuff with the FitD model? (promote your own or someone else's).

I'll start: Slugblaster, by @wilkiescandylab.com is a smart hack of the core systems, tweaked in just the right way to fit the more light-hearted adventure style of the game.

Stunning that this just HAPPENED on a show with (at that point) an audience of about 8 million people a week, in 1992. Nothing about Denise was played for laughs, except other people's reactions to her.
mikexnichols.bsky.social Mike X. Nichols @mikexnichols.bsky.social · Jan 17
imagine if everyone had this level of acceptance
A scene from Twin Peaks. Denise walks in and says, “Coop.” Coop looks at her and says, “Dennis?” Denise replies, “It’s a long story, but actually I prefer Denise if you don’t mind.” Coop looks at Denise and says, “Ok.”

I took this photo walking home with my son when he was in pre-K. Among other things, it might explain some of the decrease in walking/biking.

Follow up on last repost. Those with money and power want to kill empathy so consumers no longer value the time and effort invested to deliver a message. So you won't care about the medium or the speaker, only the message. Then they can feed you any message they want to any way they want to.
