  RE: https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/116994661553101555 Embarrassing cowards: "The Wikimedia Foundation’s statement and its frequently asked questions section is full of very carefully-worded language that is common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization. For example, the FAQ includes a long section about the benefits that Wikimedia Foundation already offers its staff, and the statement suggests that there is a 'wide range of views on unioni...

  i'm really lucky that my dietary restrictions don't kill me, i don't have celiac or an epipen type of allergy. but it is also . . . stressful, tiring, depressing, to have almost every food choice be a calculus of how much i want to feel bad later. i don't like it let alone when someone else is involved in the decision or i'm trying to socially placate people who don't understand being sick. that also sucks very bad

  i don't buy a lot of physical books (i probably own . . . 80 books) but i'm really excited to own this one by catherine lacey. i just finished lacey's "the answers," and i also loved "biography of x." this book has two covers, and is divided in half between a memoir and a novella. #books #bookstodon

  I have problems with "The Pitt," like the very inflated body count, roughly 4% of all of Pittsburgh's ER deaths for an entire year: "The Pitt is just another medical soap opera, but the decision to confine the season to one real-life day means they must condense all the usual hacky storylines and moments into that day. They kept the high body count, crammed into just one shift for all these medical workers. If anything, it’s worse than a soap opera."...

  Let's say you lived on a big spaceship or station like those in "Star Trek" or "The Expanse" etc. You can't just build a football field or national park or anything, but what feasible stuff would you want to have? Is there stuff you wouldn't care about having? Very open ended prompt here haha, just curious if others have thought about this while watching space stuff. Boost for me please? 🔄 eta: uh oh . . . the men who think they&...

  I'm watching "The Pitt," so far it isn't at all different from popular past hospital shows besides that it can be much gorier -- like horror practical effects.

  which muppet has the highest kill count? (this is one of my favorite youtubers. the comments are also very funny and informative. a lot of people have thought about muppet violence) http://youtu.be/vz9b_lUhViY

  I'm about 1/3 through Emma Straub's "American Fantasy" and really liking it -- a fun and bittersweet take on people attending and hosting an aging boy band's annual fan cruise. I tend to cringe back from books that are described as sweet, funny, or heartwarming (blecch), but this is not that and is not cloying at all. #books #bookstodon

  I'm #knitting a scarf for someone who's moving away soon. I'm using a wool blend and a cotton blend yarn held together, and the wool is a self striping cake in pale cream, beige, and snowy warm gray. The cotton blend is off white.

  i have "titanium court" and i must scream (but no i haven't started it yet!! but i'm excited) eta: okay i really don't like "titanium court"! people acted like it's extremely unknowable and genre-bending -- maybe it does become that? -- but so far it's just "loop hero" with a lot of theater kid dialogue around it and a word salad of quirky nonsequiturs. very uhhh millennial coded (derogatory)

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@girlonthenet/116437128211000660 "I do not see this work as a ‘down side’ to love. On the contrary, I think that working for something – having complex conversations and making compromises and listening and respecting boundaries – makes the end result even more beautiful."

  Sam Altman is a typical cooked brain AI booster and I've almost never seen him say anything that is all the way true. He lies constantly, worse if it's out of genuine ignorance tbh, and is a frightening person to have to see in the news all the time. He would say anything for money, power, and a feeling of genius.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@aetataureate/116361180516698016 "Weapons" Oscar winner Amy Madigan is one of the stars of "Carnivale," and I also love her depiction of a young teacher in the same time period in 1984's "Places in the Heart" which I rewatched last year I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Places_in_the_Heart
