Shout out to the cardinal outside my window singing it up in February.

An oil painting of an impossibly tall tower suspended in the sky. The tower is half cast in shower at it's base, but at it's top catches the bright arch of dawn, illuminating the white of the tower's stone. A pinnacle shines at the towers top.

"On the highest steeps of Space he will have his dwelling-place,
In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death
Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath."

-Stephen St. Vincent Benet

I'm doing my best!

This is phenomenal. I wish I was good at websites.

when someone asks me what weird fiction is for (it's always tuesday)

A Meal of Thorns 43- DIASPORA with Eden Kupermintz Greg Egan’s work exemplifies a certain kind of “hard” science fiction: not that it’s obsessed with big manly space battles, but rather that it’s using science to reall…

For the latest episode of A Meal of Thorns, critic and podcaster @tallesteden.bsky.social joins ARB editor @casella.bsky.social to talk about big-picture, far-future science fiction (with some surprisingly timely bits) in Greg Egan's DIASPORA:

I would be astounded by my job's capability to keep pushing me in new and worse ways if it wasn't so fucking horrible to experience

brother

Got the chance to talk about one of my all time favorite sci-fi novels and also a book that I consider massively underrated. Vast scales, theoretical mathematics (no, seriously; so much math) and super cool future humanity and space travel!

Man, the inbox was extra cruel and disappointing today. Send me some sick new music please.

I've seen them a bunch as well and always had a blast but they feel even better on this one

Rare form on this tour, I had a blast. The setlist is also pristine.

Man, Richard Linklater has to be one of my all time favorite directors. Hit Man was so much fun.

I do this to @pyramidmaster.bsky.social every other week

Wow! All my problems have gone away after following this advice. Except for The Ivory Scorpion but don't worry about that haha! It's Fine

The tarot is really pissing me off the last few weeks. Multiple readings and they're all like: The Hanged Man! The Moon! The Gate! Like, I fucking get it cards, I am trying to make decisions and I should be patient and proceed willfully but carefully, I fucking GET it OK?

This album is having a moment in my online circles and that's a-OK with me because this album fucking SLAPS

Y'all ain't ready for the @fiadh.bsky.social swag power levels

All of these suck really bad, good job, but the Iced Earth choices and the Maiden choice made me laugh so hard. Such comically terrible songs lmao

Here's that excellent first premiere of 2026. Really moving, dark, atmospheric, string-forwards classical music which flirts with doom and drone.
