the mandate of heaven is stored in the balls

Do you think executives at paper towel companies have meetings where they talk to each other about being market leaders in absorbance-based excellence

Demand accountability from future influencers! In age-appropriate crayon!

The One Ring would be safe with me. Like, I’d still totally get corrupted, but I’d procrastinate actually using it for anything.

It is exhausting.

tbh Hunter deButts would be a fantastic name for the protagonist of an erotic thriller novel

Everyone in the replies talking about social anxiety as if this isn’t how the Buddha died

Heartbreaking: Local author uses “slay yourself and rise again” as arc words, cannot use them as marketing copy on the off chance people try to take it literally

Thinking about tradition as a lens. Beyond institutionalized traditions (e.g. civics, religion) there are quieter traditions like genre that contain a history of people approaching situations with a particular set of tools they inherited from the people before them. And you can read texts this way.

this is and has always been the funniest discord functionality to me. yeah dude i would love to stream scrivener to my group chat

optimist: the cup is half full pessimist: the cup is half empty rhetorician: the cup's fullness is constituted by the audience's reaction to it, which is often a matter of pathos as much as logos

THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK OF WEIRD OCCULTIST BULLSHIT WAS ALSO THE FOUNDATIONAL WORK OF CRYPTOGRAPHY AND STEGANOGRAPHY written by a guy who deeked into an abbey during a snowstorm when he was 21 and became the abbot within a year and bullshat so much historians were confused for centuries

Joined a couple author starter packs and now my feed is entirely composed of people promoting their books. Thinking if I repost all of those posts then I can make the problem twice as bad for everyone else in the pack. Most important part of networking is the psychological warfare.

The moving plans I've been working on for months have suddenly fallen through and I need more funds. Opening commissions!!!

PUT AWAY YOUR MORNING STAR, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE LOW SELF-ESTEEM. AND YOU WILL WIN.

Haven’t deleted my twitter yet, so I’ve been able to witness: after the election, the amount of bots following me every day has skyrocketed.

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

This thread is very worth the read.

You weren't stupid for believing people would make better choices

Rationalist on twitter asks a bunch of other rationalists if they have arguments for why truth is a terminal rather than instrumental value. Shortly afterward follows up with a post asking for no more emotional sermons. Those who have eyes, let them see.

The best part of editing is running into all the lines that make you laugh which you forgot writing.

@blahajparty.bsky.social doing another edit round, it's the giant siege turtle section.

NaNoWriMo is what got me to start taking writing seriously. The book I'm publishing in Februrary started as a NaNoWriMo project. I hope the next generation of authors can find some other accountability structure—perhaps the lovely Council of the Eternal Hiatus discord server: discord.gg/Ju7wpsb9

me: welcome to my tower, adventurer!!! do you think you have what it takes to clear all 100 floors and reach— keith from verizon: (visibly tired) hey can you please just let me up i really need to replace that antenna

It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain cynical about politics.

Make a band milder Mild Discomfort of Salvation

Right so I'm going to drop some Quaker thought on y'all regarding what to do about meaningful possessions that are now in conflict with your values. There's an (almost certainly apocryphal) story about William Penn struggling with what to do with his sword when he became a Quaker.

Back when I worked on the crisis line, there was this guy who’d call us and just tell us about his day. Some of us weren’t sure why he did it. Then one day after I finished a call with him, I had a realization and turned to my coworkers: “Guys! We’re his Facebook page!”

I was really happy about this effortshitpost digression about Talmud and pigeons and mongoose and jurisdiction and when you kick someone out for being a pedantic shit.
