LRP: wtf is the matter with British horror writers feeling the need to sycophantically lick the boot of Douglas Murray?

So, my fellow readers of the dark, when was I gonna hear that Adam Nevill's likely fascist-adjacent? Because uh... These are the books he's recommending on his blog. adamlgnevill.com/blogs/blog

Really looking forward to go and see friends at the beginning of next month. Even if I get anxiety over the cost.

Since my birthday is coming up next month, I do have a wishlist for stuff — I'll be honest, it's mostly books. If you don't know me well enough to get my address, then there's always the things above or the list of charities (pangolins, crohn's, and trans equality.) nyvintergifts.carrd.co

There's also other ways to support: • patreon.com/nicklas • ko-fi.com/nyvinter • vgen.co/nyvinter • nyvinter.carrd.co

Much of this spring/summer has been recovering from surgery. Economy is... sure something that would be nice to have. If people would like some art, small and/or big, I'm all open for commissions and work-for-hire. Even the smallest things would help out. (mail to [email protected])

If you had more money than God and could hire whoever you'd want as a band for your wedding, who would you hire? Me, I'm a sucker for "this is a bad idea, we must do it" so my choice would have been the Replacements with an open bar.

If you've followed @johnrogers.bsky.social for more than a minutes, you've seen him talk about how short "prestige" seasons are killing the script rooms and the craft of writing. This video talks about how shorter season is also bad in the long run for the viewers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9B3...

Oh, so next visit to the doctor — either for just a meeting and information or getting an isotope cocktail — is just around my birthday next month. Yay?

Me: it's warm and I might not have had enough water every day. Also me: so I'm making pasta and ragu with hot chorizo.

Hachette is owned by Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire who considers he has a 'civilisational mission' to turn Europe to the far right and specifically refuses to have 'faggots' in the TV shows his company funds

Another weird fatigue spell. Also probably related to the thyroid hormone balance. At least I hope so.

HEY TERFS ARE YOU PLEASED REMEMBER HOW WE SAID THAT EVERYONE'S LIBERATION IS BOUND UP TOGETHER BECAUSE EVERYONE'S SAFETY AND THRIVING IS ONE SINGLE THING AND NONE OF US ARE TRULY SEPARATE AND EVERYONE SHARES THE SAME ENEMY Do you remember that can you see it yet, like

Brain is still in cyberpunk thought so had to do something with that. First the campaign pitch art. #ttrpg

Behold! the first of our Children of Time RPG design diary series. Today, Minærva talks about why Children of Time is a great foundation for a TTRPG.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

Wait, they removed the part that's the reason why an Odyssey refers to a struggle to get home rather than a short trek? No matter how loosely based O Brother, Where Art Thou? is, at least they got the genre right.

Hopefully there is a corresponding filter: command one can use so one don't have to go into the dialogue but at least it exists now.

It is impressive that AI might actually scale *worse* than Blockchain.

Got upset and made this so hopefully people will actually listen. What the fuck are we doing here folks?

There are heatwaves all over. Hydrate people, and then rehydrate.

Got the feeling that I am going to struggle to find people who enjoy both emotional RP and mecha combat to playtest my game.

120 MINUTES was an absolute oasis in pre-internet pop culture. So many bands that you could ONLY find there (TV-wise) became ubiquitous online later (and relatively recently). A pioneer. consequence.net/2026/07/dave...

Ten years ago in the UK, even conservative MPs were supportive of self ID and warned about the dangers of trans bathroom bans in the US. Now a center left labour government is implementing a nationwide bathroom ban by fiat on August 5th without even so much as a vote.

Me: we should al live our lives so that Rusty Foster don't write an obituary about it. Also me: but fuck, it would be funny to be this thoroughly roasted to hell and back.

Henson got to run and jump at the playground.

$74 for three socks is bonkers. I want them, sure, but I don't want to sell my body to Weyland-Yutani as «experiment material» for fucking socks. stance.ca/products/ali...

At the turning of the millennium there were 769 satellites in space, 2026 there are 14,500 satellites. I spent 7mins photographing the Milky Way rising above Poatiri Mt Charles Hoopers Inlet, on Muaupoko (Otago Peninsula) this evening. Ōtepoti Dunedin, NZ #Photography

Personally I don't think they should have made a Hellraiser for kids but I'm not movie exec

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

It's been rough since April but approaching the end of surgeries and recovery. I'll make a proper new post about this soonish but this will do until then. (It's also a month plus a few days until my birthday.)

Apart from Tim doing a lot of circular reasoning with transphobic sources, there's also race science in there. So all this really proves is the transphobia-to-fascism pipeline because the rest is flimsy as fuck. "Binary" because division and rounded down categories individually bullshit.

Googles önskade AI-datacenter i Sundsvall-Timrå planerar att förbruka el motsvarande upp till två kärnkraftverks produktion. ” … det kan också bli ännu ett kapitel i samma gamla berättelse: värdet skapas här, men vinsten och makten hamnar någon annanstans.” Läs gärna alla inlägg i 🧵.

Why I love the Disable Autoplay For Youtube extension. I can click on a video, read the description, see them thanking a rabid puppy, and then click "don't recommend again" without giving them an automatic view or show up in my view history for other recommendations.

It is so disappointing to hear that someone whose literay output told us that artistic community could save you, that artistic community _could create magic_, is now using AI. Just devastating, really.

This whole thread is great and I agree with every single point.

2. TV: Fewer projects with longer seasons with episodes that drop once a week until that season completes. Scarcity creates appetite. Flooding the zone diminishes audience attention and, often, project quality. A good show needs about a week to sink in, be discussed and build desire for more.

Interesting: AI summaries mean Google is now indisputably a content creator and can be held libel (in Germany, at least) for incorrect AI information. www.dw.com/en/german-co...

Original tabaxi sketches for 5e. Hard to believe these are over a decade old. If i did it again id probably just make them fat house cats .

After yesterday's ordeal, I felt a lot better today. Less pressure at the neck, only pain when I sneeze. Great during pollen season, right? But I really feel restless now. Need to draw stuff. Or write. Or anything. But it's middle of the night so perhaps rewatch the new Ghost in the Shell...

literally so sad i lost my nsfw account LMAO heres all the sfw ones of this series

My final patreon piece for the month, an aquatic piece. This one remained with me for weeks before I felt returning to it to finish it, which I am glad I did because I am happy with the final result. :3 If you want to support my art: www.patreon.com/evlynmoreau/... #TTRPG
