As much fun as Primeval is just for the concept of 'prehistoric creatures have escaped and now we need to assemble a crack team of nerds to catch them'

There's also the very entertaining b plot of James 'I dislike creatures AND shenanigans' Lester being put in charge of the Creatures and Shenanigans department.

And he doesn't quit. Doesn't even consider the possibility. He just hangs out, makes unpleasant faces, occasionally a snarky comment. Even when he literally gets mauled. He just dourly does his job and tries to keep the dinosaurs away from his good suit.

That right there is peak comedy.

Is there a consensus which tags should be used for people who want to avoid all mention of Theo?

[fishelfe]

how about this one for Theo:

I need fics where Buck stands up for himself. Where he doesn't forgive and forget, where he understands he deserves more than he's ever been given. I want people who aren't named Evan Buckley to face the consequences of their actions for once. I want fics where Bobby faces professional disciplinary actions for denying a firefighter their return to work and for the retaliation when he returned after the lawsuit. I want fics where Eddie Diaz is confronted for being a mean, selfish shitty best friend. I want Buck leaving the 118 in the dust and finding a team that values and respects him as the adult man he is. I don't want fics where Buck gets hurt again and suddenly the firefam realise they're being assholes and everything is better after a couple of half hearted apologies,Buck has already had enough of people only seeing him when he's hurt.

The past tense of "wing it" should be "wung it"

Example usage: "She didn't plan very much for the presentation, she just wung it"

Firefox 148 rolls out with the promised AI kill switch: here's how to enable it

The "Block AI Enhancements" toggle was originally introduced in Firefox 148 Nightly in January following significant community backlash afte

The Firefox "AI kill switch" is here.

Go to Settings > AI controls. There, you can toggle the "master kill switch" on to fully block all the features, which means two things:

you won't see them,

you can't even be asked about them.

The default state is, like before, "available". This means the features are NOT on by default (they never were), but Firefox will let you know about them where they exist (e.g. when you create your first tab group) so that you can choose to opt in.

Please note that Firefox for Android or iOS have never included AI features, so you won't see these settings on your smartphones or tablets.

Please also note that, unlike popular belief here on Tumblr, besides "chatbot in sidebar" (which is simply embedding the same page you'd have normally browsed to), none of these features have ever interacted with anything outside your PC, because they download a small model to your computer, to do everything locally. These small models have never been and are not downloaded until you explicitly agree to turn on one of the features.

Well...

i think one of the reasons that heated rivalry has been so successful is because everyone involved with it is so fucking proud of what they created. like there’s zero embarrassment or shame about how sexual it is or how queer it is and it’s just such a breath of fresh air

[porcelainmortal]

Grabbing this from the tags bc YES. 🙌

[shaneholeander]

I fully understand this isn’t everyone, but love the sect of m/m shippers who don’t want to be inserted into the relationship at all. dont want to fuck them, don’t want x/reader. this isn’t about me it’s about my boys being in situations and then fucking about it. I’m barely a fly on the wall im not even here.

Shout out to the (many) times I got called an elitist gatekeeper for saying that the only real way to fully understand a work of fiction is to experience it firsthand and that summaries and reviews are not a replacement for that

[the-lincyclopedia]

Me, reading the first 80% of the post: What do you mean, "experience it firsthand"? How am I supposed to join the Hunger Games or go on the Odyssey?

Me, reading the final clause of the post: Oh, you literally meant that people have to read the book/listen to the audiobook in order to fully understand it. And people got mad. Oh dear.

To quote what a friend of mine said after she watched Jerry Maguire (1996) for the first time, having thought she knew what it was about because of its cultural ubiquity: “you miss a lot of a movie when you don’t watch it”

[teaboot]

You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit

I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:

you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.

a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!

[racethewind10]

raise your hand if you still have brainrot about a show that isn't airing

#art doesn't have a best by date YEAH @wreative-criting!
