Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

This father has shared custody with his daughter. The school has a father daughter dance and he has wanted to take his daughter for the past two years but it's always on the weekend that his ex has her and she comes up with excuses so he can't take her. The step mom knew how much it has bothered the father so she told him to be in a suit when he got home from work and to have flowers because she had a special surprise for him when he got home. When he got home, he was greeted by his daughter in a formal dress. Not only did the wife get her a dress but made snacks, and decorated the home for the occasion. Do you agree that divorced parents should not prevent each other from having these precious moments with their children?

A new version of Street Fighter meets Duck Hunt, with even more taunting from M. Bison. Thanks again to my bro @BlondetanamoBay for helping me animate this.

🧵 Farming robots are no longer experimental. They're deployed, profitable, and reshaping agriculture. In orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields, and beyond, they're tackling labor shortages, precision spraying, and chemical reduction at scale. This is how robotics is quietly becoming the backbone of next-gen agriculture [Save this thread for later 📌]

The side with the best sense of humor are the good guys. Grok ftw.
