Will go forward regardless but we need three or four more patrons to fund the Poetry EP series, which just goes toward paying the poets and for the cover art. malarkeybooks.com/store/poet-o...

I am visiting my elderly parents, using my dad’s computer, the default search engine is Yahoo and …..it rules? It rules. The good internet you remember is alive and well on Yahoo dot com

Our new trash can looks just like an SGI Indigo and I've never been so proud of the MIPS architecture

Plenty of @malarkeybooks.bsky.social books and authors mentioned in here 👀

Driving in the car today, out of nowhere we heard "Hi, I'm gemini your ai assistant" and both my wife and I immediately began shouting "NO! CANCEL! GO AWAY! FUCK OFF!" and we just kept yelling until the infernal thing slunk away.

This is an outstanding value and everyone would be wise to seize the chance

I think you'd really enjoy any of these books if you bought them. It's a nice, large selection of titles that cover all sorts of genres and interests! You owe it to yourself to at least take a look, do some browsing.

I am deliriously, ridiculously excited to announce my story collection "Field Guide to Mediocre Men" is coming out in summer 2028 from @unsolicitedpress.bsky.social. It's a book about guys and what's wrong with them. Also what's right with them. Can't wait for you to read it!

It’s that time again. The first crow babies of the season are beginning to fledge, so time to post my annual guide to spotting them — and being understanding about their parents’ seemingly demented behaviour.

We've trained generations of people to think of computers as deterministic, but now just suddenly decided pivoting to probabilistic is the way to go. No wonder this is a shitshow. People think their slot machine is a calculator.

If the Second Vatican Council had had wheels, it would have been a bike!

The room I'm in has two digital clocks that are not synchronised. For 22 seconds of every minute they show different times. For 22 seconds of every minute, I exist outside of time. Beyond the sight of God. Incapable of love. It's probably fine though.

free yourself and learn to say "I was wrong, my bad." embrace being a beautifully flawed human and you'll enjoy the feeling. really can't recommend it enough

Do you believe we are alone? Daisy isn't sure. Read my review of Terrestrial by Suzy Eynon, and pick up a copy. (The book is currently sold out at the publisher but copies are available at Asterism.) substack.com/home/post/p-...

Some of the best mail comes from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social. This time it is Terrestrial by @suzyeynon.bsky.social with a Poetry EP (zine) by Rachel King.

If you think Bluesky sucks, you are not using it correctly. I have curated my feed to be full of DeliciousWeirdos™️ and KingShitposters™️ which means endless nerdiness (complimentary), bangers, and really insightful threads. Sorry you aren't having fun you aren't playing right. Try harder!

In case you missed it, "Reality Fever" by Tropics is a delicious, completely coherent work of art that does not have a single bad track. oftropics.bandcamp.com/album/realit...

you mess with the bull you get the horns. you mess with the goat you get the woodwinds. the horse has the string section and the rabbit is on percussion

It's fine if your first draft is terrible. The first draft is just a seed. It doesn't look anything like the plant. You pour time over it and it grows.

I'm so ready to see a political leader go ham on regulations. We've deregulated ourselves into a world of constant endless scams. Time to overcorrect the other way, let's make some business models unviable, let's jail some execs, let's implement some existential financial penalties, LETS GO

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

None of them towards justice

My surprise is not that we're doing lysenkoism, but rather that we are doing so many lysenkoisms at once.

I somehow missed the news that Robert Mueller died a month ago.

If I'm saving your post, there's a 95% chance I was trying to like it but missed.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social ICYMI, a piece that reminded me of Twilight Of The Elites, for obvious reasons. "a world with universal basic income is more meritocratic than a world without one" www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared
