The upside of having a thirty year old house that I'll probably die in and a fifteen year old car that I'm going to drive until it disintegrates into a pile of dust is that I no longer give a rat's ass what my credit score is.

Every new website or app is super-specific and niche, like they all think they need to reinvent the wheel. Meanwhile if someone made an app that literally just worked like instagram did ten years ago they'd be billionaires overnight.

I don't understand anything about this story, but I want bad things to happen to everyone involved with it.

I've figured out the secret to internet marketing. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that it involves QR codes printed in invisible ink!

BTW, this inspired me to go listen to Agalloch's The Mantle again. And I can report that Agalloch still does absolutely nothing for me.

Someone put this on the cover of an Atmospheric Black Metal album, stat!

Far be it from me to promote the 'Zon, but for those who already use it, this is a great deal. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Breece Pancake was one of the greatest of all American writers, but he's still woefully under-read. www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2CFXQ...

This account is fascinating and could become addictive. @restaurant-bot.bsky.social Although, as an American, I find it depressing how ubiquitous hamburgers have become. They're honestly one of our worst contributions to world cuisine. Sorry, rest of the world.

And....I had always known that some of my ancestors were named Gunsalles, but was always under the impression that was some German name that was F'ed up at by immigration. But tracing the history back, it appears that it was in fact originally Gonzales and some of my ancestors are from Spain! 🤯

I also learned that one of my ancestors, during the Revolution, was arrested by the British as a spy and was sentenced to death, but was pardoned. He also "hated kings as if they were panthers." Hell yeah. I mean, the hating kings part. I'm very fond of panthers.

I always knew that my grandfather had a sister who died in infancy and that their mother died at approximately the same time. Today I learned (thanks to Find-a-grave) that they died on the same day. And guess what they died of? Measles. A hundred years later and idiots are trying to bring it back.

Aw

Exciting news! I discovered a yawning crevasse underneath my house! A gaping maw leading into the bowels of the earth! I dropped a rock into it and I never heard it land.

One of my biggest pet peeves is that, now that we live in The Future, it has never been easier to do research. Not just writing books, but even general statements made online. It's so ridiculously easy to find out if you're full of shit or not, but people still refuse to do so!

This must be some kind of Mandela Effect thing, but I swear to god I was certain that Daniel Baldwin had died a few years ago. I guess I'm conflating it with all of the other cast members of Homicide: Life On The Street who have died, but I swear I distinctly remember thinking that he was the only..

New user icon thingy. Ol' Robert Bloch served me well, but it's time for a change.

I'm think I'm going to start unfollowing/blocking accounts that constantly post screenshots of Xwitter posts. I left that site for a reason.

“The writer has felt and experienced the wonder of things—the beauty of the sun and the hieroglyphic mystery of the figures that the birds make in the air—and he feels, quite rightly, that to describe wonders one must suggest wonder by words.” (A. Machen “Hieroglyphics”) 🎨 Oorchach #wyrdwednesday

Today in highly unlikely cultural connections I learned that The Dead Milkmen named themselves after the main character in Song Of Solomon (Macon “Milkman” Dead). Always loved this dumb song: youtu.be/ZyaK3jo4Sl4?...

(From a post asking for submissions of upcoming books to be reviewed) Really? We're still doing this in 2026? Of course, the publication in question is owned by Tor/Macmillan. Legacy media has to keep the riffraff out.

think the Marvel thing of undercutting any serious or dramatic thing that happens with a quip so that the audience doesn’t experience worry or tension for even one second is making us all very sick. our brains are being sucked out our ears by the “sooo that just happened” shop vac

Me: bud can you stop eating grass please My dog, who has no concept of “eating,” only the constant exchange of sustenance and energy among all living things, not least of which, the unassuming blade of grass, which in its humility, communes directly with the sun: 🙂 ?

If Tr*mp outlives Bruce Campbell....well, I already don't believe in god or the concepts of justice or fairness, so I guess it won't really change anything for me. But I will be incredibly pissed off.

Daylight saving time is a stupid, archaic waste of time, but I've found a solution: never going places or interacting with people. I no longer care what time it is!

I don't know how I had never heard of Peter Wessel Zapffe before, but he and I are basically philosophical BFFs. He articulated almost exactly how I feel about human existence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_W...

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" "Decomposing gently in a forest, a fir tree growing through my ribcage, its roots entwined with my bones, interlaced like a lover's fingers..." "Alright, well thanks for coming in."

Thinking back, a recurring theme of my childhood was me accidentally breaking something and people being irrationally angry at me about it for a very long time. I’m sure the fact that I’ve sent most my life avoiding doing things unless I’m sure I’ll be good at them is a complete coincidence though.

Just looked up the big Ikea bookcase I thought about buying a couple years ago to discover that it's several hundred dollars more now. 😩

Team Sleep is one of those bands that I feel like I should like more than I do. I suspect they had a bigger impact on people who weren't already familiar with triphop or shoegaze (i.e. Deftones fans). The song they did with Patton is still an all-time favorite though www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSzi...

You know how when they spay/neuter feral cats they cut the tip of their ears off? I've always wondered what they do with all of those eartips. I should write a story about a monster cat made from sewn-together eartips.

So we're up to at least three Horror novels called "Trad Wife" now. The "Horror boom" is officially eating its own tail at this point.
