WHAT IS THAT HELLO

He's perfect

Still messes me up to this day.

(yes you do)

i'm sorry to add this to our perfectly functional apocalypse appreciation post Tumblr, but i just discovered this

that is an AI cover on Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rain"

NOT ONLY THAT BUT

it is the _default image_ on the book's goodreads page...

Cryptozoology is my favourite kind of fake science stuff.

The first rule of fandom is have fun. The second rule of fandom is find an enabler and become an enabler. Yes you should write that fic. What if it was even hornier? What if it was angstier? What if you wrote it just for me?

"smart appliances" fuck u i want them dumb as a brick and incidentally as sturdy and enduring
