Angry Dog Pope with his sleepy brother who's trying to summon the devil. But the devil is taking forever, so there's time to nap with some snacks. #scriptorium

"I'll fix it in post" is what I always say when I see I missed a spot while mowing and decide not to mow it again.

RIP Trek Twitter. You made me who I am today.

'An Aerial Battle', Blackheath (1940) by Francis Dodd (Imperial War Museum London)

Wish a California criminal defense attorney would do a series on Columbo. Going episode by episode and showing how each murderer would skate due to Columbo violating procedure or only having the most circumstantial evidence.

Always creepy walking past the cryogenic chambers at night. They're in their icy blue coffins. Their still faces visible in little yellow windows. Hundreds in a row. Last night, one had their eyes open. They winked at me.

As I play yet another indie open world game, I'll never cease to be amazed at how the mind can find beauty and grandeur in what is just simple perlin noise.

Sometimes I think it would be fun to write a story set in a world where everything in Chick tracts is true. It would be the grimmest of grimdarks.

Maybe the most fun thing to do in games with a photo mode is to create a dozen photos and then stitch them together into a large landscape. Nothing more fun than seeing the details of cities which have never existed.

Played Transport Fever 2 all weekend. Feeling a weird parasocial connection with whoever did the track laying algorithms. This person is now simultaneously my kindest best friend, and my mocking, utterly mad best friend. I imagine them in Zurich, looking at train tracks, and laughing endlessly.

Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social I hope this finds you

Opinion by Max McCoy: In 1943 Norman Rockwell painted democracy’s portrait. An editor from Kansas helped make it possible. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/11/23/i...

Trying to reopen the haunted car wash but I discover I must appease the crocodile god first.

One of the inhabited caves on Titan is known as the Gardens. An unsurprisingly lush place where individuals and groups make settlements free of central planning.

Kansas. Standing by the old quarry. Heard owl hoots. The occasional coyote yip. Fortunately, did not hear any footsteps. That's the sort of place where Hitchhiker would show up. Ask you for a light. And then no one would ever see you again.

I love conveyor belt games. But they always give me a headache after a while.

Random screenshot from street view. Felt evocative to me for some reason.

Thinking being a ghost isn't so bad. Would go over to the in-laws house and try to trigger their motion detection lights in a morse code pattern. Encoding something creepy like "I'm alf and i'm here to eat your cats!!" But probably wouldn't work. Mainly because I don't know morse. They don't either

The simplest fix? Work the refs. Try to control the narrative. Don’t subject yourself to questions that would force you to take an unpopular stand. Don’t acknowledge the real trade-off behind the reconciliation bill and the grievous harms it will inflict on Kansans. #ksleg

Dreamed the ghost of David Lynch came to visit. Told me he's partnering with Mark Frost again. This time, they're going to remake Quincy ME. "I think newer generations need a medical examiner," he said in a ghost whisper.

Mega Mecha Bear. The final boss of Medieval Dynasty. Surrounded by a thousand bandits who worship her daily. Guarded by five hundred rabid wisents. Led by a little girl priestess who cries out: "blood for the bear god! honey tarts for me!"

Sometimes, it's all too much.

One like, one Thucydides opinion.

Taking the trash out. Neighbor is quietly yelling at his cat to come in. "Bubba! Bubba! Bubba! I know you can hear me! Bubbbbaaaa!" Bubba is a handsome orange gentleman. Just gleefully rolling around on the sidewalk and ignoring all mentions of his name.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts. Text 1. Wilhoit's Law, born as part of a 2018 blog comment crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

Friend, I am so with you. It's a Sunday in the summer. We should be talking pop culture trash, fuck the GOP for making every day "what horrors await?"

My mother died when I was 2. Had a dream last night that she was still alive. Hidden away with Scientology's Sea Org all these years & decades. She said she was sorry she missed out on everything with me. But she was "Clear" and that made it all worth it.

Every day, I tell my cat: "be a good boy." Then immediately follow with some advice: "don't ever play with guns."

Every night when I see the water heater is still running, I give it a little bow and say "thank you". This appeases the vengeful machine spirit. And I can possibly go another day without having to re-light the pilot.

Elon Musk claims it’s a crime to publish the names of the engineers who work for him who have access to systems they shouldn’t. Here they are: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Come and arrest me.

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101! They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs. Tariffs raise prices, but the more important thing they do is disrupt supply relationships. 1/

Lately, I've been writing a little political science fiction as a sleepy time ritual. Namely: the minutes of the latest Water Reclamation Board meeting in the Titan Republic. Detailing the petty arguments this month. And then imagining their rides home on a train dashing through the methane rain.

A skeet sized Christmas ghost story. Published in 1914 in El Paso Herald's "Daily Novelette" column. I found it in Valencourt's Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories, Volume 4.

Overslept this morning. Every time I tried to wake up, the giant would emerge from the forest and tell me: "you can't. Nothing is realized yet." Took him at his word. Until noon, when I discovered he was lying.

Installed Windows on a new laptop. Windows gave me the option of talking with ai while the install was going. I told ai this install was taking too long. ai told me to put the laptop down and go clean something. Nice to know my new laptop is haunted by my old boss from the pizza place.

When you see this, post a room. Reminding me of another thing I need to -learn to- draw more, the last one that focuses on it being a room I have is this ooolllddd one from 2019 #isometric #cats #art

We are on @bsky.app. Please consider following @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social where every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of Auschwitz. Repost please.

On the flight yesterday a Swiss flight attendant told me twice how much they loved my shirt and winked at me. The shirt:

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

KANSAS Fort Hays State University poll: Trump 48% (+5) Harris 43% RV, 9/26-10/16 kansasreflector.com/2024/10/28/s...

Astronaut blacks out during a return to Earth. Wakes up in a hospital. He's in there for weeks. Never seeing the sky. He tries to leave. Is stopped. Finally manages to evade guards and runs out into the night. He looks up in the sky. Sees two moons and succumbs to panic.

Live in a tiny town where the only retail is a hardware store & a stop-n-go. But over the years, in my dreams, I find a bookstore hidden away in a part of town I've never seen. Address slides around from dream to dream. Others have told me they've seen the bookstore too. I'm not alone.

This week's comic: Prairie Progressives

Black vulture by the side of the road Says, where you’re going, you won’t be cold At least I think that’s what she said. Studied Vulture in college but that was a long time ago.

Boring dystopia moment. Examination room in a small rural hospital. This screen in the room pumping out pharmaceutical ads relentlessly. Getting irrationally angry about it.

You‘ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Can't sleep. Playing World of Warcraft. As a hunter. Tamed a magma mammoth. Named him "Magma Mia". Kinda proud of my pun.

All my cats groom each other at times. Even the cats who have long standing feuds. Except for the almost-full-grown kitten. Who walks up to the adults. Ignores the hisses. And plays the "I'm a baby" card until someone grooms her. She never grooms anyone back. I kind of admire her stance.
