Trump is going to launch every nuke in the arsenal about 90 seconds before he's dragged out by the FBI or the People's Tribunal or whatever. That's obvious, right?

If not him, then Vance or Miller or one of the other jackbooters who takes over.

I am really glad I was never one of those boys who couldn't read books by/about girls. Had I been otherwise, I would have missed Sparrow Hill Road by @seananmcguire.bsky.social.

I have known you since August 1998 and had no idea Carbella wasn't your given name.

When I was in middle school (aka jr. high for us Xennials), I tried to get people to call me Icewolf. That didn't work.

So. The shooter is a right winger who inscribed some of his bullets with anti-gay comments. Are any of the right who have blamed left wing rhetoric and/or declared war on the left and/or called in death threats to left wing figures and/or made bomb threats to HBCUs going to apologize now?

I just imagine this CEO saying the word "Yeah," like this:

"YEEEEEahhhhhuhhhh."

Just like Daria's sister's stupid friends.

I miss when they were for (relatively) clean dissemination of text, said text often the result of some devotee's fascinated or fevered mind. Deep-dive alt history timelines extending until the heat death of the universe, and so on.

I have to admit, from a purely technological standpoint, generative AI is pretty cool. It's also very interesting to play with it to try to get it to do what you want it to do.

(I am playing with logo design concepts for my business, which I intend to then pass on to a real-life person.)

As an American who is aghast at *gestures vaguely in all directions*, this seems appropriate.

Trump wants to annex Canada. Google execs are busily kissing his feet. I can put two and two together.

I just realized how easy it would be to swap lyrics around so that The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" becomes "I Want to Eat Your Ass."

I have rather a vested interest in this magazine succeeding. I have bought ebooks from Amazon and Weightless Books in the past, but I just signed up as a "Vizier" for this Patreon. If your finances and reading inclinations suit this magazine, I ask you to sign up or buy some ebooks.

I never expected that the fact I (forties, male, childless) can't go around soliciting hugs from 12yo girls would cause writing difficulties, but here we are.

600+ people took a walk together down Main Street in Livingston this afternoon. I was #532 to pass the person with a clicker who was counting. Our population is about 8,000.

(Maybe a dozen grumpy sourpusses on the other side of the street. They only yelled at the stragglers on ours.)

A Wizard of Earthsea is a perfect book.

In light of today's (comparatively minor) news, I'll have it be known that I believe every single Confederate general and politician should have been hung as a traitor, or at least spent the rest of their natural lives in prison.

Also, fuck ICE and fuck Trump.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

I really wish @buehlmeister.bsky.social's word "girleen" was in common English usage, because it would make it a hell of a lot easier to write fantasy concerning unmarried young women without saying "unmarried young woman," or something obnoxious like "maiden."

Ukraine has to have the most creative armed/security forces in the world right now. How about we give them all aid short of war?

Last night I dreamed I ate a pot brownie and got super high. In the dream, I felt chill and fuzzy and happy. That is to say, I felt well-stoned. Then I woke up as per usual, without any aftereffects or the paranoia that explain why I don't actually eat pot brownies.

Please more dreams like this.

If Back to the Future was made with the same time gap today, high school sophomore me could watch Marty's guitar solo live at the dance in 1995.
