Oh, that sounds wonderful. Losing Gigi, Valentino and Wally all in one year has been very hard. Those 3 were how I found you. I know no kitten can replace any of them, but I am sooo happy you found Ruby and Nando and Bunny. And a black kitty will be perfect. (@scalzi.com just adopted a black kitty!)
I know how much you must miss Kitty Sunshine. I don't suppose I could convince you to watch KPop Demon Hunters? It's only 90 minutes long. You don't need to know anything about KPop.

Same. I take advantage of Black Friday deals, do a 1-month subscription if there's something really special I want to see.
Prequels, not sequels, are the way to go: the origin story, Rumi's parents, how Celine found & created the trio with back stories of Mira and Zoey, Jinu's backstory, more about the demons (the other Saga boys). They could be of different lengths, with/without music.
That's what I did. $8 for one month. Watched it at least 8 times, so quite a deal. It's very easy to cancel the subscription.
Looks perfectly fine to me...
This is how my cats oblige me to sit when I'm trying to use my laptop
The kind of people who laugh at the Newsom posts also think Everybody Loves Raymond was a good show.
Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
anyway it’s shocking that no one was able to predict that when the George W. Bush administration gave itself unreviewable powers to murder and imprison people, those powers were eventually going to get used intentionally on noncombatants
So why are none (it seems) of my mutuals willing to give KPop Demon Hunters a shot? SOB.

This is totally the selling point. It's actually one of two: the other selling point is helping to solve the cold start problem. They're not Bluesky's users, they're members of the atmosphere.
Every child in the Netherlands starts school on their fourth birthday. Since there are continually new students in the class, veteran students help welcome the newbies and teach them the rules. And we think that’s adorable.

RE last repost, here are the regions where various recluse species are endemic. While it is possible to encounter one elsewhere, they’d have to have been transported recently on materials taken from one of the mapped areas. They are NOT native to Maryland.

First, it is an incredibly well-produced film with banger songs. You don't need to be a fan of either KPOP or animation. And there are several scenes scenes you would really appreciate. Trust me. (You can subscribe to Netflix for &8/month & then cancel, which is what I did.)
I went to my new dentist today and the entire clinical staff masks. Not all the office workers do, but everyone in the back does. No commentary, they just do. Almost like it's bullshit to claim it's impossible for health care professionals to mask at work.
The young calico who adopted us last year has desperately wanted to play with her two much older sisters, but they will have none of it. Last Friday @vexedmuddler.bsky.social and I adopted this lovable little nugget, whom we have dubbed “Timiny Cricket”.
@vexedmuddler.bsky.social Have you by any chance seen the opening 5 minutes of KPop Demon Hunters?

@budini.bsky.social Checking in: how's it going? I know you've had a couple rough weeks.
Reminder: The Shattering Peace, my next novel and the 7th installment in the Old Man's War series, is out two weeks from today! Still time to pre-order from your favorite bookstore, and to plan to see me on my US book tour! Here's the link with all the tour info: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/08/16/t...
I'm seeing a huge increase in scam emails promising Amazon and Goodreads reviews and I don't know if that's part of a general increase in spamminess in this area or if it's because I have a book out in two weeks.

WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!! PURRFECT!
Important news to start your day
I don't think a whole lot of politicians understand social media at all. Basically because they're all too old for it. What i don't understand is why they don't have staff to translate it for them, or to operate their online presence. Same with media.
Politicians, major media and most major decision makers still use Twitter as their primary text-based social platform. This makes me wonder: is that where they actually scroll? Because that could have huge implications for decisions they make, from policy to coverage and beyond.
Each and every week there's a new post insisting that Twitter is "our national public square" or "the only conversation that matters" and every time it's written by by Some Guy I Only Know From Twitter and Haven't Thought About Once Since Leaving Twitter.
Remember in early 2022, when Anthony Fauci was overheard on a live mic describing Sen. Roger Marshall as a “moron”? tinyurl.com/4hpn9j52 I find myself thinking about that quote with some regularity.
Important to realize that if you run a company and you actually have an "A.i." strategy that makes people use "A.i.," no one likes you.
Sept. 2, 1666: The Great Fire of London starts. It burns for 4 days, & destroys much of the city. In it's wake, starving Londoners were saved by the Dutch, who gave out free eels. A grateful king granted them free mooring & a monopoly on eels sales. A lovely story. Except it didn't happen. 1/5 🧪🗃️

2ent down a YouTube rabbit hole of performers around the world (Barcelona, Madrid, Indonesia, Phillipines,Vietnam, etc) dancing to Soda Pop in public, as well as challenges (who did it better?), people at home, in garages, schools. Also a few have done Your Idol and How It's Done. Dozens of videos

“Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said [that under Netanyahu] Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza ‘without question.’”
I know this is killjoy behavior but every post I see speculating on the imminent death of a certain public figure feels exactly the same as all the times we breathlessly waited for Robert Mueller or the 25th amendment or whatever to save us last time it is not happening
Hey, why is everything I've ever signed up for online "updating" their terms of service all of a sudden
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
The moderation system here at Bluesky @safety.bsky.app is really amazing. An impersonator account scamming people was taken down within five minutes of reporting. The block function is nuclear. I can hide offensive replies, and even replies to replies. I truly feel safe here. Thank you @bsky.app
The state of Maine has only 1.4 million people, looks like most of those who are eligible to vote were at the @grahamformaine.bsky.social rally today. Susan Collins must be troubled ...
Susan Collins - your 2 terms are are up for the 5th time www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAWT...
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
Every resident of Maine showed up for the guy running to unseat Susan Collins

It would be SO much less work if he would just let me vacuum him.
One time I was walking up stairs in Brentwood really fast on my way to work and he was walking down really fast and we collided and it was shocking. That is one of my mediocre famous people encounters. That is all.
He stole the end of my amaranth while I was harvesting the leaves. He looks like he’s gonna go pen a short story.

I've said this before and it bears repeating: One way we'll know if and when a real machine intelligence happens is that it will create art that is an artifact of its own intelligence, not ours, and it likely to be absolutely incomprehensible to us human on first approach. How cool with that be.
I hope you will be in charge of daily photos (for a while) of your new black void. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Spending a non-trivial amount of time the last couple of days assuring the previous cats that just because there's a new kitten in the house, I don't love them any less

A mere one year ago, this was The Central Issue Of Our Political Age. It's not even news in today's papers.
I think about Nate Silver once every four years. He wakes up thinking about us every day. 💅💅💅

its kind of cool actually, when you think about it, that a recurring US holiday thing for people who have the day off is to complain about the website i work on using phrases like "Blueskyism". like, this actually happens a lot on US federal holidays, and im proud of that.
One reason I think someone will eventually make interesting art with AI is that people have managed to make interesting art with literal toilets.

KPop Demon Hunters is an extraordinary film. The production values from start to finish are incredible, but the design and execution of Your Idol is next level greatness. The more often I see it, the more impressed I am by the animation, the choreography, the lighting, the colors.

Happy crying because kitty is already in love with his new people and turning into the snuggle bug I just felt like he was meant to be (but I would not have guessed he would turn that corner so fast!!!). The world is crappy right now, but the cats are alright
One of the victories of the "AI" industry is that the use of the word "intelligence" for their product has led to people conflating a massive appropriation of intellectual property for an database sorted and outputted with algorithms, with what actually happens in human brain, one artwork at a time.
YES I YELLED AT THE SCREEN WHEN THIS HAPPENED
