The “dropping 1-work webcomic fandoms” sweep didn’t end up catching as many as I’d hoped. Got through the end of that a week ago, and I’m still at 632 fandoms. Only 23 with any tags to wrangle. (Most of those are the 19 unclearable fandoms noted in this post. I did drop Emmy the Robot, and a couple others had their crossover tags cleared, but the rest are still lingering.) So, hey, going to…

“First, I’d created 2000 free-text responses and labelled them ‘UK’. Then I copied and pasted the exact same 2000 responses but labelled these ‘US’. Finally, I combined them to create a dataset of 4000 total responses, and jumbled them up. Despite the responses being identical for the UK and US, Copilot produced a rich, detailed summary of how US and UK respondents differed.“ “I sent ChatGPT an…

Watched season 2 of the new A:tLA live-action remake. It’s good! I also rewatched s2 of the cartoon…and, well, the more I think about it, the more I like the remake better. The original series has the Gaang traveling across the Earth Kingdom for the first two-thirds of the season, getting into shenanigans with various towns and tribes they meet along the way. They meet a group of refugees,…

From the final chapter of the Little Sister D fixit fic.

Since we’re all melting, let’s enjoy a Pet Shop of Horrors reread-and-translation-comparison thread that opens with The Beach Episode. Start of Tokyopop volume 8, and Seven Seas volume 6. Originally liveblogged in separate threads on Mastodon / Bluesky, combined here. TP volume 8 has a “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content” warning on the front. None of the others have that! I just…

2-hour video breakdown of that “what if the CW did gritty adult Powerpuff Girls” pilot that everyone was making fun of a while back. Apparently the script leaked! This guy talks through it all, and adds so many good takes. It’s mostly as terrible as you expect, but there were some genuine “this could’ve been good, if it was in a better show” moments. There’s a point where the Youtuber says…

"She is not your xiao mei," said D sharply.

"Well, she told me to call her Xiao Mei!" complained Leon. "So unless you're gonna actually cough up her personal name...?"

PSOH reread continues. This is the first point where Tokyopop and Seven Seas have different chapter orders. SS volume 5 started with all the chapters from TP volume 7, but now we’re jumping back to the bonus story that was at the end of TP volume 6. Originally liveblogged on Mastodon / Bluesky. Collating it all together here. Affiliate links for the whole Collector’s Edition, in case you want…

Gave my DW a new “dissociation references” tag, for these dissociation-related writeups that I actually put some effort into, and will probably keep wanting to find again. Here’s a new entry for the pile. When I went digging into the “1% of people have DID” idea, the conclusion I came to was “this claim goes back to a few studies that are being wildly misrepresented, either unwittingly or…

Sequel to the first post of this hot new internet game: “Someone has posted a fic on AO3 with this New Fandom Tag. Can we figure out what fandom it’s referring to?” Recap: To get a fandom approved for a canonical tag on AO3 — especially a fandom for a series that should be online in the first place — it helps if you have links to sources. As in “here’s the website, here’s the creator’s social…
