From here I will be calling this exact strain of right-wing Christofascist dispensational premillennialist apocalyptic evangelical supersessionist covenentalist Biblical-inerrantist evangelicalism that's merged almost fully with right-wing cultural issues and the US civil religion "the US heresy".

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

It's always a bit awkward when ectoplasmic puppet strings sprout from the ceiling and meld to my flesh. I'm not always in the mood for doing a little jig on the stovetop, you know?

Once again a total Norwegian dominance in the men's 20k skiathlon. Sigh. I'm sure that's very fun for Norway, but it makes for such a bummer of a watch. Zero tension.

OKAY YES—when I used to train new designers coming in, I would tell them a variation of this. Like you MUST not let your ego be tied to the work. It is tempting, but at the end of the day how well the work does/doesn’t do isn’t personal but you *will* take it personally if you don’t learn to let go.
Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Maybe my wishlist should be BUY MY BOOK (bc I published my 1st this September) but guess who is always forgetting I published a book? My memory is terrible, the brain fog is attacking me, and my time-blindness is out of control. I have no fucking clue what I did this year.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

Isn't Netflix bleeding money? (At least according to the shareholders) Isn't that why it's always whining about password sharing and raising the price and adding ads and whatnot? How the fuck can it afford to buy those at once? Also, that feels like an anti-trust violation

Apparently Smashwords royalties are changing as of January 1, 2026. Books under $2.99 will get 40% list; books $2.99 or over get 75%.
(Amazon KDP, for context, is generally 35% and 70% respectively)
Draft2Digital owns Smashwords, so if you publish via D2D it's easy to add ebooks there. 💙📚

This is what you risk when you do non-union work, folks. Your voice gets turned into whatever the hell *this* is, and you get thrown out onto the streets.
Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.
