If you find yourself wandering long enough in the Backrooms, you may start noticing the movement in the corners of your vision. Insects that seem to blend in with the patterns of the endless walls and carpets skitter about, barely noticeable.

Are they really there? It's not so impossible. After all, many species have evolved to live in the basements and attics of human homes. It is likely that populations of them have gotten trapped in this strange dimension the same way you did. Time dilation and other anomalies could lead to their accelerated evolution.

... Or perhaps you're just hallucinating out of lonely desperation to see something... Anything...

There is a new upcoming Ghostbusters animated TV series from Netflix. This is the third animated Ghostbusters TV series (Not including the Funimation show which was based on an older unrelated property that was also called Ghostbusters).

The earlier shows were Th Real Ghostbusters (later renamed as "Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters"), and Extreme Ghostbusters.

The new show will be called Ghostbusters: Night Shift and is scheduled for a 2027 release date.

No other details have been revealed other than that it's from the producers of the Stranger Things animated spin-off.

More information is supposed to be revealed later this month.

The portrayal of Egon in The Real Ghostbusters animated series (which premiered when I was four-years-old) is what inspired me to study parapsychology academically. (I ended up taking a course in Parapsychology in 2008 with Stratford Career Institute (SCI).

its always morally correct to reblog your own posts for attention.

Digital circus' biggest problem is that it was written to be a niche show aimed at weird analytical queers with actual media literacy and it accidentally blew tf up and hit the mainstream and a bunch of people who have never had a second thought about anything got into it

Yes, I saw the announcement for GB: Nightshift. No, my expectations aren’t very high.

Also realizing that I better put my plan for OC-ifying all my Ghostbusters stuff on hold until the new show is out. If it’s good, I’ll keep my fanfics unchanged. If it’s bad, I’m returning to plan B.

When the AI bubble pops, the demand for computing power will fall much more quickly than the supply. For a brief window, we will have an amazing digital surplus.

“Musk talks about Mars as a lifeboat for humanity, which is among the very stupidest things that someone could say,” says Adam Becker, an astrophysicist and author of the book More Everything Forever, which outlines the messianic, sci-fi fantasies of the tech oligarchs. “There are so many reasons why it’s such a bad idea, and this is not about, ‘Oh, we’ll never have the technology to live on Mars.’ That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that Earth is always going to be a better option no matter what happens to Earth. Like, we could get hit with an asteroid the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could explode every single nuclear weapon, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could have the worst-case scenario for climate change, and Earth would still be more habitable. Any cursory examination of any of the facts about Mars makes it very clear.”

What You’ve Suspected Is True: Billionaires Are Not Like Us

I really like sci-fi stories where people have to go off and terraform a planet, or figure out how to rebuild civilization after some disaster, or ideally both. "The last ark-ship leaving Earth right before it becomes uninhabitable" sort of deal. But lately I've been coming around to this same idea, that it will always be more practical to try to save Earth than to try to start over elsewhere.

I was reading one story where the apocalypse was impossibly-rising oceans. Like, water is appearing from *waves hand* the Earth's crust or something, and literally all dry surface land on Earth is going to become underwater in X years. Part of the story was about a giant research project to invent FTL to send a few hundred humans to a nearby star which might have a habitable planet. You know what they were hoping to find? A planet with liquid water. Their plan was to descend from their starship and restart civilization using just the tools they brought with them, on a world with no life and no breathable air and the wrong gravity and the wrong temperate and the wrong sunlight and the wrong day-night cycle, just because it had liquid water. You know where else has liquid water? The flooded Earth you just abandoned. Instead of researching starship technology, you could have spent that time loading up all the same civilization-restarter tools into boats.

And this is really true of any futuristic apocalypse scenario. If you can terraform Mars to have a thick oxygen atmosphere, why not just do that to Earth? Even if you smash an ice comet into Earth and destroy basically everything, Earth will still be more habitable than Mars! It'll still have roughly the right atmospheric pressure, and magnetic field, and heat balance, and it'll still have whatever life the comet didn't kill... Same with a starshade to cool Venus. Same with excavating asteroids into city-stations. Same with abandoning Sol System entirely and heading to another star. If an ark-ship arrived in a new star system and found Earth-but-choked-by-climate-change, the crew would be ecstatic. They would never have thought to get that lucky. So why bother with the trip? Just stay and fix the damn Earth.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[eroscestlavie]

It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.
