Pretending the Creature and Elizabeth got to run off together and snuggle, the end. #frankenstein

at last, the horse has come for trudeau

the purpose of a rube goldberg machine is what it does eventually

there should be some Markdown syntax that, like.. lets you indicate that the enclosed text should gradually diminish in size over its length. Would really give "noooooooooo" the plaintive feel it deserves

I also want subscripts and superscripts but don't let's be hasty

me when a cowboy makes a spurious claim

anyway I am genuinely stoked for The Bride Factorial

just took the bins out and saw the house a few doors down has a really bright red light over the front door. I was like ... y'all running a brothel down there? Nothing would be wrong with that, to be clear, it's just a little surprising

Meshuggah, "I"

Breaking out “scope creep” and “what problem are we trying to solve?” at the neighborhood meeting

new art show in the hallway outside the office. There is a print of a butterfly entitled Faded Monarch and I'm like... my brother in Christ that is a tiger swallowtail

I really hope that's the joke

my most toxic trait is that if a title has an exclamation point at the end, when I'm speaking out loud I will pronounce it "factorial" instead.

I also do this for titles with a + rather than an & or and spelled out, like Romeo Plus Juliet

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

HTML in email was a major milestone on this path. Again, the very idea should've just been met with a hard nope, because it started as opt-in and quickly became practically unavoidable

I am convinced that there's a straight path from "wouldn't it be fun to run code in a web page" to the current fuckass web of half a dozen walled gardens spying on you constantly

having to be careful not to click "dangerous links" is an insane state of things that we never should have let happen. The most "danger" a hyperlink should put you in is having to see a terrible animated GIF background behind a wall of tiny, badly-written text

Alexander & Hephaistion: Historical Besties for V-Day

I wrote this 7 years ago, but its worth a share here for Valentine's. What initially interested me about #Hephaistion was the fact his friendship with/love for #AlexandertheGreat (and Alexander's for him) seems to have been the Real Deal.

From the award-winning developer of "Seduced by the Busty Elf" and "Ravished by the Burly Orc" comes a brand new title, "Made To Question Your Long-Held Assumptions About What Constitutes Sex by Some Kind of Fucking Goblin".

gotta say Melville was cooking when he went with "Moby-Dick" instead of "Mocha-Dick". Sounds 1000% less like a barista who's won multiple international latte art competitions.

Victor Frankenstein can animate your corpse with electricity

The problem with bluesky is that everyone wants to talk about AI all the time and no one is ever talking about Mongolian folk music

How is it only Thursday? We need a Royal Commission on this and then someone needs to pile a Parliamentary Committee on that

And if you still want stories about wizard schools anyway: Did y'all know that Ursula K. Le Guin had the wizard school idea first and also wasn't a brain-rotten billionaire monster?

Anyway, do read June's work.

man about to invent the greatest science fiction movie ever made "i knew i wanted to do a scary movie on a spaceship with a small number of astronauts"

this is how artists actually talk

Lol true, but I was reacting specifically to Commercial between Packers and Sherman

Me: do you remember how sometimes the Apple II made a weird sound if you loaded the boot disk in the wrong drive
Discord age verifiers: this guy is trying too hard. He must be fifteen. Kill him.

Tim "Lord Percy Percy" McInnerny seems to be having a good time at least

I am usually a follow-the-rules kinda guy, but nothing brings out my latent Become Ungovernable streak than a sidewalk closed for construction for weeks or months. "Please use other side" please eat my shit and hair

"My lord of Oxford, we had quite forgot the Fart"

Anyway, look forward to my essay- "What Model United Nations can learn from Nordic LARPs and also Kevin Siembieda's Rifts World Books.

Wait..Wait...Wait...Model UN, but everyone is a country from one of the Rifts World Books
