I guess I should have posted this when it was new, but I'm writing #Zootopia microfics based loosely on songs from #TheyMightBeGiants. 16 stories published, and starting to wind down now. Check it out if you've a mind to.

Just in case you weren't aware, here's a quick and easy block.

A screenshot of the Bsky account "@whitehouse-47.bsky.social", which appears to have been "verified" (since it has a blue checkmark after the name).
Presumably an "official" account representing the Trump White House. Block aggressively.

Whoever was in charge of the graphic design of these cooking instructions: I hate you and my old, failing eyes hate you.

Cooking instructions, written in a small, narrow font and printed in light brown ink on a slightly lighter brown background. It is almost unreadable to anyone who does not have twenty-year-old eyes with perfect vision.

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

the point of science fiction is not to accurately predict the future and nailing it does not make a book more or less valuable as a work of art. however. snow crash really nailed how fundamentally unserious this would be
