It really is just 3-8 mega corporations moving a couple (semi-) imaginary billions between each other for ai-software and data sets and ram, with boardroom members pocketing hundreds of millions each in stock & bonuses that they will only hoard and never ‚re-invest‘ into the economy.

There's this weird tendency among fandom types where they'll take a character, and insist that they are fans of them, before changing their design, age, pronouns, backstory, blood type, species, hometown, favorite color, zodiac sign, medical history, and every other facet of their being.

They will then violently insist that this version is superior to the canon one and act like they "fixed" them and it's like. Buddy that's not the same character anymore. That's just your own oc commiting identity fraud. Like. I get the desire to experiment with different interpretations of a story. But first of all it's okay to just make an original character if that's what you really want to do. And second of all, are you even really a fan of the character you "fixed" if they're a completely different person afterwards?

Like. Idk dude for somebody who claims to be a fan you sure don't seem to like them as they are :/

Gonna remember "buddy that's not the character that's your OC committing identity fraud."

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

this recent trend of teenagers using genAI chatbots to talk to fictional characters is fucking grim. what you should be doing is roleplaying on private messages with your friends until the lines between you & the characters begin to blur & you develop some very complex & confusing feelings for each other that culminate in a massive fallout you dont have the tools to process nor understand

This year, beautiful Snezhana the Pallas's cat became a mom for the first time!

For a long while, she wouldn’t let her kittens go outside when people were around ☺️ But last week, the little cubs finally appeared!

Now they come out every day and explore the world around their den with more and more confidence.

Snezhana is such a gentle mamanul, and her bond with her kittens is incredibly touching. Watching this fluffy manul family is pure joy! 🥰

They say that sudden, intense cravings for very specific foods are usually a sign of a vitamin deficiency. If so, that I'm presently making myself french toast, scrambled eggs, and a bacon and cheese sandwich at 11:45 PM must mean the vitamin I'm missing is grease.

I cross-posted this to Bluesky and got followed by a bunch of folks with blog headers clarifying which exact flavour of Christianity they adhere to because they thought I was making a hashtag-relatable post about cheating on your diet. Now we get find out how many of them are also comfortable with posts about werewolf cock.

My loves, there is a Taj hotel in Mumbai but crucially it is NOT the Taj Mahal, which is in Agra, in an entirely different part of India. 😭😭😭
