powered thru a Migraine this morning, kind of used painting Morgan Kell's Archer as a focal point. Took about 6 hrs in total, and the only (intentional" deviation from the Legends Book portrayal is restoring @michaelastackpole.bsky.social's correct Kell Hound logo, as best I could freehand at scale.

After eight years of exposure to relentless flatulence, Cheeto dust, Budweiser spills and various bodily fluids, Fred Kowalski’s loveseat leapt to its death last night from the balcony of their shared sixth floor apartment. “Larry was under a lot of pressure,” said the lamp, “if you get my meaning.”

What are the current alternative #Traveller universe fanzines being published today? Do I need to create my own?

Yeah, Mr. Senator, YOUR job, which provides healthcare that WE pay for. One third of the jobs for the rest of us don't provide healthcare.

Has there been any definitive reporting on who the hell these cosplaying ICE agents are? Not their individual identities, but are they actual LEO or temporarily-deputized contract workers or what? Not looking for speculation, I have plenty of that on my own, rather actual info.

You’ve got the talent, the tools, and the irrational urge to redesign a character’s outfit at the last second. You’re unstoppable. 🧵🔥

Not 100% sure I want a leader who believes that if we think it hard enough it will manifest in our lives. (Largely bc the clown manifesting 'tariffs' has a leg up at this point, and unless someone manifests impeachment, we have almost two years until he doesn't.)

I’ve got a new piece up on @clarkesworldmagazine.com! It’s a history of how we discovered Jupiter and how science fiction authors depicted it over the years. Fun fact I learned: it was a science fiction author who coined the term “gas giant”! Read it here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/liptak_06_25/

Just reached max level in real life. 1. Saved $116 dollars on a grocery bill that would have been $192. 2. I'm making a CHIP LOCKER (a concept introduced to me by @michaelastackpole.bsky.social ) because Frito Lays products are on sale: spend $62 and get $35 off. 😁
