good, but now what.... the fact that this expires on No King's Day 2 does not strike me as a positive sign

she realized much earlier than most of us that chimps are much less frustrating to hang out with than humans

Nature is healing

Listen to me accidentally cut off Jacob twice in a row! I was happy to join these guys doing what they do best and help talk about a book destined to eclipse Spider-Man. (still waiting, Larry)

@neverwanderer.bsky.social Hades 2 comes out of EA tomorrow. I loved the first one (Supergiant don't miss) and I'm excited to delve into this one. Reviews are sterling.

We talked w/ Jared from Swords & Scrolls about Larry Hama's origin for a different kind of 'barbarian.' Far from a #Conan clone, Wulf the Barbarian was a classy beginning to what should have been a long adventure, but, #AtlasSeaboard was not long for the publishing world. youtu.be/30JuVrTD7f0?...

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Open for cover work, just sayin… thelarsenproject.com

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of August!

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Fight or flight? No thanks. I’ll FANTASIZE.

In less than 90 minutes The Hardcover collection of EVIE AND THE HELSINGS VOL.1 goes live! bit.ly/Evie_hardcover

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

I look forward to being interviewed in 5 years time by researchers and explaining how I never “awakened’ ChatGPT and so did not start eating sand to achieve true silicon-connection to the single source energy being or whatever the fuck.

Pronouncing MAGA like May Gay

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

A porno with the title "2 High Agency Males Going At It" could be up by tonight. Come on, it's Pride!

“I asked ChatGPT.” Ok, well I dialed 1-800-MISS-CLEO because she said “CALL ME NOW,” so I did and now I owe her $138 but I know when I’m going to die

This is Malak. He was caught on camera busting a hole through the wall. Immediately felt really bad about it, if that helps his case. 12/10

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NE Vermonters - Odin lost his person and his world last November. While not a fan of dogs, Odin is a chill guy, not overly affectionate, he is content to hang out and vibe. If you, or someone you know can give this gentleman a soft place to land, please contact us at [email protected]

cooking in a metal box in Saudi Arabia seems like a very bad idea

A friend of mine does a Swords & Sorcery podcast and he asked a bunch of us to talk about '80s S&S classic "Beastmaster", and it's a blast. www.goodpencil.com/pod/blog/ser...

"Lakers' early NBA playoffs exit a blow to betting public", says ESPN. I have never felt less sympathy for anything.

Time to play Morrowind again. "Grasping Fortune", the latest addition to the massive Tamriel Rebuilt mod, just launched. www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/downloads/ma...

This is Goobs. He saw a tree crew working on his block and thinks he might have just found his dream job. 13/10

social media in a nutshell: just got followed by an account dedicated to heavy metal Christian hymns. I am not a Christian, am not religious at all, and don't like heavy metal music. Life by algorithm is a fucking mess

Today is the day all but the very rich and big corporations pay their taxes.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

all the dystopian fiction in which a future generation of humans is a slave to technology they themselves can no longer understand, change or end their reliance on is flashing through my head

yep, and with Trogdooooor

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

🎨 i became inspired

And to ensure no democracy or nonpartisan civil service can ever switch that computer off.

I believe the firings and the AI have the same purpose: to get humans out of the loop of evaluating contracts. To automate the process of spending government money. To rig up a computer that sends taxpayer dollars directly to the broligarchy.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Time for a new political party to emerge. A party that actually represents values that the Dems only pretend to, with a healthy dose of green party environmental priorities (but without the narrow focus). I have absolutely nobody to vote for that doesn't feel like shoveling dirt on our graves.

Rich, old, predominately white politicians like yourself have far more in common with each other than you do 99% of your constituents. "Democrat" is another flavor of selfish, short sighted autocrat. Fuck your false promises, your endless pledge drives, and especially fuck you and your book tour.

Our nation is going to bleed out while Schumer and Jeffries are busy promoting their books about how hope is indomitable or whatever the fuck.

Yeah, when the REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF UTAH is able to make a more compelling case than a normie elected Dem, something is fundamentally broken.

Delicious friends! Fallout London is a fantastic (but grindy) browser game of weirdness and Britishisms and a Kickstarter for a TTRPG adaptation of it has just launched. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mag...

for someone who loves stories and loves books, I am surprisingly bad at just sitting down and reading them. "The Passage" by Justin Cronin is really good though so far, and I'm trying to read at least 20-30 pages a day

Feels good to enjoy watching sports (Trail Blazers) again. It's been a long 3 years. There are plenty of bumps in the road upcoming, but it does feel like a corner has been turned.

I am not, by and large, a conspiracy theorist. But then how else to reconcile the madness of this Doncic trade...

@billsimmons.bsky.socials sorry to be that guy, but not including Deni Avdija anywhere in your trade value column is baffling considering his age, contract and on-court performance
