If you're looking for a fun escape story about fairy bartender tracking down killers and resisting a monarchy that retains power based on artificial scarcity, maybe check out my book Summer's Blood. It's got found family, chaotic pansexual fairies, and mad queens. a.co/d/byOtoO9

"You've been chosen," the spirit said. "What?" "Save the world, make it kinder, cleaner, safer." "Me?" "Yes." "Alone?" "We chose everyone." #CrossRepost

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

“The events of the past weeks have made one thing abundantly clear—Tech’s leadership has prioritized optics over transparency and silence over meaningful engagement. The removal of DEI-related content was not just an administrative decision; it was a statement...about what the Institute values most”

I super-believe in you Tad Cooper!

If you use T-Mobile you should go claim your free MLS Season Pass today. Sorry there's no way to tweet that without sounding like someone paid me Fabrizio money, I just want you to watch soccer for free

@microsoft.com I am a professional software engineer making use of Azure. If I hit a button in Azure Storage marked "trouble shoot" I expect it to show me debug and error messages. In no universe should it bring up ****ING COPILOT! I do not want an LLM! I want DEBUG INFORMATION!!!!

Hi. We're Five Stripe Final. We think you should subscribe to our website. www.fivestripefinal.com/p/welcome-to...

We're making this MLS-eve week a "Subscriber Week" at Five Stripe Final. We'll give y'all a ton of Atlanta United season preview content and, in exchange, we'll ask you (politely) to tell a friend or two about what we're doing. Fall through. www.fivestripefinal.com/p/welcome-to...

Your LOD is fucked up. The textures are loading in before the models are.

Huzzah and tally ho! Attend the tale of Galavant!

This was really, really, stupidly funny youtu.be/dSlGxtOTbbI?...

All things considered, I'd rather have been wrong.

Book intros that deserve more hype. "Hunting was illegal at the Greenwood Knoll, and everyone knew it. The Knoll was a designated place of sanctuary for anyone—fae and human alike—who might stop in for a drink before or after crossing between the worlds." Summer's Blood by @saratbond.bsky.social

I'll be announcing the Kickstarter launch date of my Dark Science book Very Soon™ but it would help my brain a lot if you could sign up here for updates so I had a rough idea of people's interest! www.kickstarter.com/projects/top...

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

Dedicating tomorrow to a family art day. Daughter will likely paint or craft something with lots of glitter, son has his last performance in The Sleeping Beauty, husband will make music, and I will be writing. I'm really looking forward to being creative with my favorite people.

Current #quilt #wip. Trying to put in some visual interest with close stitching. In the "idk if I love this or hate this" phase of creative work. #quiltsky

I am personally attacked for the last 34 years by this statement

I don’t always take advantage of it, but porcelain has a wonderful translucency when it’s thin. On the piece with the skulls, I embedded glass beads into the eyes, which gives an added spookyness!

It’s been a minute, but I’m moving forward again with focused intent! Please enjoy the latest scene from Endai, my online graphic novel.

BREAKING NEWS: 4:07 Anti-deportation protesters are blocking traffic on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. They want to stop Trump’s deportations of illegal migrants

This is Groundhog Day

Only once in a great while perhaps, but after decades of The Simpsons, there have to be at least a few genuinely clever jokes.

NEW: WIRED has identified six young men—all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24, according to public databases, their online presences, and other records—who have little to no government experience and are now playing critical roles in Musk’s DOGE project. By @telliotter.bsky.social

This tweet's moment has come back around, I believe

I would make the secondary hull on the Cali class easier to reach from the saucer

This is so fucking embarrassing. Tech has always been an institution with a deep inclination towards boot licking but this is next level. Complying in advance isn't a neutral, face saving position, it's an alignment with the facism to come.

I voted for Harris and Democrats because I wanted to prevent Trump’s return. But I was revolted at how the administration enabled the Gaza atrocities. Scolding voters again may be self-soothing. But people in POWER decided sending weapons to kill kids in Gaza was worth risking this election for!

if you read the document it's not a severance package, it's you staying on the job for 8 months but being exempted from return-to-office rules and performance reviews. Don't expect too many people to take this deal lol.

1/ ☄️ Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) is gracing our skies, and we’d like to share some amazing images from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile! This stunning shot by our friend Yuri Beletsky, with the comet next to an Auxiliary Telescope, is today's Astronomy Picture of the Day. Congrats, Yuri! 🔭 🧪
