Fandoms, Nerddoms, and Cats

A completely pointless blog of odd things that catch my fancy... Cats (my longest standing obsession), random stuffs from the ancient world, old languages, bits and pieces of various fandoms (mostly Marvel tbh) and whatever the heck else I happen to find worthy of a reblog.   Also stupid puns/memes/etc.

the best part of field trip experiments is a chance to become THE experiment yourself ;)

Given that the show ended by making an alternate universe (AU) with the idea that the two are connected somehow and will find each other....

Did all AU fanfics just become canon compliant???

That would be the Michael Sheen of it all. We know he reads fan fiction.

Call me old fashioned, but I think the president saying "a whole civilization will die tonight" is the part where he should be deposed immediately.

at work they're showing us how to use AI tools like Copilot to help in our day to day tasks.

I have many reasons why I will not use those tools, going from lack of accuracy, lack of ethics, and a higher waste of energy.

But my main reason is this:

I will do things the hard way. I will learn how to do things the hard way.

Because AI is a subscription. And when the world is dependant on AI, they will raise the price of that subscription.

And when the company I work for decides that paying for AI is too expensive for their bottom line, they will remove it.

But I will still know how to work.

No love. No virtue. No kindness. No loyalty.

Pure betrayal of all our shared sensibilities.

No intelligence. No compassion. No empathy. No governance. No oath to the Constitution. No class. No respect.

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

nobody should apologize in the tags for relating to my grief & sharing their own. i can’t speak for every poet but i write poetry as a continuous conversation with the world and everyone in it and it goes both ways

May I offer possibly the best index I've ever found for free media. It's a Library of Alexandria for this kind of thing. The one I linked is for streaming but this site has it all.

For anyone who hasn't been up to date on the clown show that is the American news, I'll give a quick recap because oh boy.

So Jeffrey Goldberg is the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. One day, he gets a notification on his phone from the messaging app "Signal". He sees that he's been added to a group chat called "Houthi PC small group". He thinks nothing of it at first, until a couple days later he sees on the news that the U.S. is bombing Yemen. He takes a look and sees that he has been added to a group chat by the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Plenty of government officials including vice president JD Vance were in this conversation, and they were discussing their bombing on Yemen. And Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was added by mistake.

So Goldberg approached the White House, who confirmed that he had been accidentally added to the chat. He then posted part of the conversation in a news story on the front page of his news website, omitting any classified information as to not get arrested for that level of security breach.

The response from the administration has been wild. They're all smearing the journalist, obviously, but their responses at first varied from "he made it all up" to "he must've hacked is way in" to "big deal, people add people to group chats on accident all the time". Eventually, they were put in front of Congress to testify under oath, where they said that nothing in the conversation was classified information like military hours or types of weapons used.

In response, Goldberg said "Oh, so it's not classified? Okay then! That means I can do this," and then he released the full unedited conversation. The conversation was nothing but classified information like military hours and the types of weapons used.

Not only are they communicating on private phones on third party apps as a way to circumvent the Presidential Records Act (the chat was interestingly set to auto-delete messages after 4 weeks), but it really kinda highlights the incompetence of America's leadership right now.

They're not going to win.

[onelineinthesand]

Can we take a moment to remember that these are the same people who complained and screamed and made a huge deal over Hillary having emails on a private server? And they're just casually texting classified war plans on private phones.

At this point

I'm just grabbing whatever silly lil discord things I've posted and putting em here bc Sam's tags suffer so many fools. By 1231am, I'd already reported 2 spam taggers and blocked an additional 1. 🙃

Anywho, the rando bit below was just me thinking about grumpy old SamBucky. When Sam's lightly chastising Bucky and calling him by his almost government name. He calls out some real doozies twisting up his middle name.

"James Buckerino Barnes!"

"James Buckatunde Barnes!"

"James Buckazoidonal Barnes!"

"James BuckameBuckawhoBuckaboo Barnes!"

"James Buckenzie Barnes!" etc

Sam: James Bucktholomew Barnes! Cease and desist this instant.

Bucky: ... Bucktholomew?!

Sam: You heard me.

Bucky: Yeah, Doll, I did. shakes head in utter bewilderment How do you do it?

Sam: Do what?

Bucky: Make me love you?

Sam: chuckles For what this time?

Bucky: For making me appreciate Buchanan. I can't even imagine what it'd be like going through this cruel world with a name like Bucktholomew.

Sam: Love you, too Bucks Bunny.

Bucky: 😐

Bucky: I take it back.

Sam: 😂

As the Ides of March approaches, let us all remember it not as the day Caesar was stabbed a whole bunch, but for what it truly was: the day a group of organized elected representatives killed a sitting unelected dictator.

[onelineinthesand]

Might I propose a similar exercise for this Ides?
