My nephew knocked his two front teeth out falling off his bike. The dentists got them back in and we just got confirmation that they’re staying in and healing. He’s got a long way to go but thank FUCK for the dentists! I’m gonna track down the hospital’s emergency dentist and hug them.

Anyone else noticed how publishers demand ever shorter deadlines for proof-checking, peer-review etc.? I think it’s ’deadlineflation’, i.e. no author actually meets deadlines, so a ‘deadline’ is now a high ‘opening offer’ in an expected negotiation between publisher and authors

A bunch of right-wing chuds writing "reviews" of the Odyssey and still slamming the casting of Elliot Page "as Achilles." He doesn't play Achilles (which should have been obvious the whole time cause Achilles is DEAD by The Odyssey). But yes tell me about this movie you TOTALLY saw for real!

Star Trek provides a utopian vision of a future where humanity has gained the maturity to reduce all non-job digital communication to just email & occasional video calls. While entertainment choices are games you play in a bar, an e-reader, or reality bending room that may kill you.

No, Gen-X didn't have an Andrew Tate. But we had Hollywood execs who pushed out movies like Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds to teenage boys. Movies that turned rape and sexual harassment into jokes. Rape culture is learned, and we all went to the same school. "Not all men" is a bullshit cop-out.

I was waiting for my robot friend when a spell stranger came up to me. "Hi!" they said. "Um... hi?" "Oh, sorry." My phone pinged with a text from my friend: "Body's in for service, this is a loaner." "Oh!" I said. "Er... Is it nice?" "Can't wait to go back. This is..." "Not you?" "Not me."

I noticed a neighbour had set up a little library box in their front yard. I checked the books and saw they were all jumbled up. I had only moved a few when a net fell on me. "Gotcha! Oh..." "What's going on?" I asked. "There's a feral librarian around." "Ah. Catch, tag, feed, release?" "Yup."
