This is a fantastic book; I later returned to horror and grimdark for something more uplifting.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

This Day in Labor History: April 5, 2010. The Upper Big Branch Coal Mine in Raleigh County, West Virginia exploded, killing 29 of the 31 workers laboring in the mine. Let's talk about the murderous owner of this mine, the vile Don Blankenship, and why he killed his workers.

There’s a version of events where car safety features like seat belts and crumple zones were accepted decades earlier and there was no reason for Last Kiss to have been written and later covered by Pearl Jam.

The TikTok thing reeks of when shows would be getting lagging ratings so they’d promote an episode where a main character is killed off but then they come back somehow the next week. Lazy writing.

My first read in the last quarter of 2024 was Black Tide by
@pnwscribe.bsky.social
, a survival + SF/cosmic horror story with the pacing of a thriller movie. Great read with a troubled protagonist, great monster building, and a plot that emulsifies despair with hope throughout.

My first read in the second half of the year was
@greatdismal.bsky.social
's Agency. This lives in the same universe as The Peripheral, but is a pretty independent story. Great fusion of high-concept sci-fi and technothriller in the way only he can pull off.

Props to Marketplace Morning Report for demonstrating “obeying in advance” by “interviewing” a crypto shill today. I’m sure they’ll reward you for the legitimacy you’re laundering for them.
