You have to be willing to get happy about nothing.

This is gonna sound insane but I'm feeling like Taylor Swift is the Stephen King of pop music

something about Toy Story toys is so strange to me. versions of animated characters based on real world toys, turned back into toys that are slightly different than the actual toys. slinky dog with a rubber spiral instead of a classic metal slinky. the porcelain bo peep and cloth woody turned into jointed plastic action figures. when toy story 4 came out and i saw a $30 talking action figure of forky, a character made out of a spork and a pipe cleaner, i stood in the walmart toy aisle staring at it like cameron from ferris bueller's day off staring at that painting in the art museum

I don’t think people truly understand the scope of the damage Sony is about to do to physical media. They literally invented the compact disc. They are the reason why Blu-ray as a format won the HD wars over HD-DVD. They have gargantuan influence over manufacturing disc-based media. If Sony as a company stops making physical media for their next gen gaming consoles, this is going to affect movies and music as well. If you buy CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays, those are next on the chopping block.

pretty sure i just lost my editing gig to ai. hate and fucking war on planet earth.

like they've already made it very clear by a) ghosting me for months and b) getting my colleagues to train their stupid new ai. like i only know about this because one of my colleagues tipped me off. i imagine they're waiting to get it working before they formally let me go and fuck that. i am literally drafting my resignation lmao

ex-boss backtracked and ended up asking me if i'd come back not as a freelance contractor but on an actual employment basis.

shoutout to all the people reblogging the version of this before my rejection letter. and especially shoutout to those people saying they're happy for me and that there's justice on this earth. i regret to inform you that my version of justice means choosing violence.

This is a thing of beauty

Breaking Bad

#on the one hand: breaking bad but everyone he recruits is too competent to get dragged into that level of danger #and nate's still a righteous crusader so he still keeps to that moral compass #so it's fine they're all fine this is just leverage but nate's got more chill #on the other hand: nate who chose to become a criminal BEFORE internalizing that you could be both a criminal and a good person #is a nate who leaves his morals at the door every time he steps into his role as mastermind #nate has always been a Good Man the same way batman doesn't kill people #it's not some innate thing it's a CHOICE #he is following his internal rulebook to the letter #and the thing is. nate is a Good Man but he is not a good man. he follows the rulebook because he's decided to intellectually #not bc he like. feels bad about it when he does something mean #it's because that's what it means to be a Good Man: you follow the rules. you do what's right. you bring about justice. #but in this au nate has deliberately decided to put the rulebook away #so he has DECIDED that he is no longer going to be a Good Man #and oh buddy. at that point all bets are off. #he would pick his morals back up and put them on again every time he went back home to his family and his regular job #and then whenever there was a new client for a con he would slip his morals off like a heavy coat and hang them up by the door #and then he'd roll up his sleeves and unleash hell #and that strict division would be unsustainable over time & would slowly drive him absolutely insane #(also. a Good Man would not cheat on his wife. but sophie is right there; and nate is not a Good Man right now.) #(sophie wouldn't go for a true committed relationship with him...but sophie wouldn't be showing her heart so truly to this version of nate) #this au edges dangerously close to the one where nate ford really is just a mob boss running the meanest crew this side of the atlantic (@aethersea)

last week I was deep in the trenches ploughing through work and mid-afternoon realised I'd neglected to open the blinds and the room was a little dim, so I got up to do that and discovered that a car had flipped onto its roof directly outside my flat and the entire street was closed and flooded with emergency service while they dragged someone out of the vehicle and packed them into an ambulance. so now every time I open the blinds I'm a little like the dog with the ham sandwich bush. what the fuck could it be today.

Schism? Schism today?

Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card
