she's seen all the classics, she knows every line
the matrix, galaxyquest; first doctor was the ninth
she's glad that britney's free, never bought an .aac
her very first pc was too slow for mp3s

why do so few friends have a website?
and who's this elon guy opposed to artist copyright?
when did a bookstore become SHODAN?
whatever happened to
flip phones
flash games
(on your livejournal)

webrings
and mood boards
palm treo's tactile keyboard
she read newshounds
and sluggy
and youtube was 240p
her mutuals
in high school
they tell her that she's uncool
'cause she's still
preoccupied
with twenty

Fun fact: the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer can't use a real-time operating system.

This is because it's Io bound.

I thank you.

If you see Buddha on the road, kill him.

If you see Zeus, put on a neutronium-armored chastity belt and then fly an extremely well-grounded kite

THIS IS HOW SOCIAL MEDIA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, A BUNCH OF WEIRD NERDS PRETENDING TO BE WOLVES

There is only one libertarian position on gender-affirming health care, and that's to let it be a private decision of doctors, patients, and parents if a minor is involved. Worries that some people might regret it are no more a case for criminalization than the fact that lots of people regret taking drugs is a case against drug decriminalization. And if your worry is that we need to protect kids from bad choices, you need *much* weightier evidence of harm than anti-trans people can point to.

Media zeitgeist around Microsoft’s integration of OpenAI tech into Bing has gone from scrappy underdog (Bing) goes after big dog (Google) to the usual anti big tech tropes by hyping up every weird conversation with the chatbot.

So analysis over, hyperbolic freak outs in.

Also finished _Elder Race_ which is a lot of fun. Seeing a wizard who sees himself as nothing more than "anthropologist Second Class, Jim" is a lot of fun. A quick read that doesn't overstay its welcome. Also 5/5

Finished _Tress of the Emerald Sea_. 5/5 and I liked it more than I expected to. I don't like "cosmere shit" usually and I don't like Sanderson's "funny" characters, but the book was engaging throughout and did everything it tried to do.
