  I haven't had the courage to try the latest ep. It's not helping at all that the discussion sounds a lot like #Monsterdon #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds #StarTrek #LikeChronitonsThroughTheHourglass #StrangeNewWorlds @startrek

  This fills me with delight. I mean, Watership Down meets Leonard Cohen? https://www.patreon.com/InnuendoStudios/posts/good-scansion-167033129

  This is an impressive interview. I think this is the first time I've seen someone ask questions that has caused @pluralistic@mamot.fr to have to actually slow down & think carefully about the answers. (& the answers ae kind of chilling.) (& DAMN I wish somebody would put together a conversation between him & #HeatherCoxRichardson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPQNPJ0CEPo #AI #Oligarchy #Economics

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@paco/116887268970242050 Okay, sorry, but this is still apparently not widely known: this is standard #ADHD quasi-teleportation. ADHDers are incompletely evolved teleports. Seeking an item generates an energy field that pushes the item out of this time-space dimension into the next one over. It remains there until the seeker stops looking, at which point the item will finally pop back into this dimension. The More You Know 🌈 ⭐

  @Curator@mastodon.art Thank you for the heads up. Just spotted one of these. Blocked & reported.

  @dacig @Cetraria @JellyTBeagle I've always been, bc it was obvious to me from a very early age where this was headed. It's deeply irritating (in an ironic kind of way) that one can do some very cool things with tech. I've (mostly) managed to avoid getting hooked. But there was that one little box with a CRT on the front that made it •so• much easier to write fiction....

  @snoopy_jay This is, in fact, a glorious thing about social media. Just Sit Back & Watch!

  @snoopy_jay Hey, I find figuring out how humans work to be fascinating. Granted, not a recreation to everyone's taste!

  @snoopy_jay No hurry! It should be fun!

  @snoopy_jay "Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always A day A way!" Sorry 😂

  @snoopy_jay Ask away! It's a lovely excuse to dish out Free Advice™, & much better for my spiritual merit than unsolicited free advice, which is a habit I've acutally had some success breaking. That's the lovely thing about asking questions (again, referencing Ricki Tarr's threads) combined with topic drift. Stuff will come up that you would never have thought to ask. Many hands make light work, & all that. >

  @snoopy_jay Or, you could use it as a way to ask questions? Questions are good! We like questions! Questions are also incredibly powerful. I point you to @RickiTarr as an exemplar. Asks questions ranging from deep to frivolous, & nucleates the most amazing conversations. Do note that posts have to be set to public for hashtags to work (a thing I persistently forget, but fortunately my instance has an alert that reminds me. >

  @snoopy_jay You could start a hashtag! Like maybe #HowToHuman ? I've learned much I know from Captain Awkward. Her deal is mostly interpersonal boundaries, but stuff like this gets sprinkled in, & I credit much of my ability to conduct myself in a civilized manner to her instruction. & also she's a fun read, esp when she gets angry 😂 http://captainawkward.com

  @snoopy_jay If, for example, someone's going on about a show/series/franchise they love, don't respond by telling them what you don't like about it or what you think is wrong with it.

  @alice I misread caltrops as catpoops which: yeah. That too. That aside, I feel like this is as an important an insight as "Unsolicited advice is criticism, always." And "Don't harsh someone's squee."

  @scalzi Well, now you •do• know how to get a space potato named after you: just put in [how many decades?] of consistent work on producing very popular & successful science fiction! Easy peasy!

  Name That Short Story! #ScienceFiction short story wherein artists aren't allowed to reference (or even experience) anyone else's work. If they are, the relevant sense is disabled, & they are set to watch over upcoming, naive artists. I'd had it mentally placed in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, (or maybe Dangerous Visions?) but I'm not finding a likely candidate in either anthology. <1975?
