For #TrilobiteTuesday, here’s the aptly named Kayserops megaspina, a Devonian trilobite. First printed in castable resin, then cast in sterling silver and oxidized to yield blue highlights. Sculpted from scratch, no scans. #paleoart #sciart

You may be able to lean on Etsy to stop the witches, but you will never stop me from performing an Abramelin ritual to make everyone who has allied themself with or capitulated to Trump have permanent, uncontrollable flatulence. Come Prince Seir! Come Earl Raum! Come President Ose!

Ah, another Rapture day. I have to say, the older I get, the more satisfying it is to watch people expecting god to solve all their problems discover how much god cares about their problems.

Want to support trans people, AuDHD people, writers, and antifascists, by which I mean me? You can! Read Interzone! (Or send me sweet DMs, same thing)

Me: I’m terribly out of shape and it’s going to take me months to get back to a fraction of my cycling performance. The data from my second ride after getting back on the bike:

A tiny youtube channel I follow of a Canadian leftist who reviews horror movies had more views on their latest video.

Irreversible is an emotionally lobotomized version of The Crow.

And hey a writerly update!! My story Bindweed is out in the current issue of Interzone, 303. You can subscribe here: www.patreon.com/InterzoneMag or buy a single issue here: shop.interzone.press It’s over 65K words of fiction and not. And if you’re broke and want to read my story only, DM for pdf!

It had been a while since I watched Robocop and it stands up better and in ways I wasn't expecting. It's 'belief' in cops and authority was probably written seriously, but it was definitely directed satirically.

Tangerine Dream, The Beatles, the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian, Tom Waits.

Got on my bike and did as long a ride as I comfortably could. It's impossible to overstate how much I needed that.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, I want to post a little reminder that many library cards will allow you free access to Kanopy, an amazing streaming channel. If your library card doesn't work, you can often sign up for other libraries in your region.

It's me, your friend Youtube. I know you've never shown interest before, but I need to you to click on this AI-generated shit and piss. We packed it into the crude form of downtempo jazz or whatever dogshit you like. Please click the shit and piss. Come on, do it. Ingest the shit. Good. Now the piss

Posting a link to this here because I suspect it's relevant to the interests of quite a lot of mutuals, especially @esedia.bsky.social rarefilmm.com/2025/09/forb...

New horror discovered! I am a few months away from eligible for my local dispensary's senior discount. Mother *FUCKER*. (after wrestling with bike parts for hours today, I feel like I deserve that discount)

There is fuck all I can do about the awful shit in the world right now. Watching mainstream media trying to turn the dead racist into a saint makes me feel vaguely ill. So I spent the day getting the stuff I need to do maintenance on my bike so I can get back to riding.

"it's impossible to please everyone, so we've chosen to side with the violent right"

Thinking about Charlie Kirk

"rest in piss"-gate has turned into a moderation nightmare for bluesky, which nonetheless refuses to explain its underlying rationale even as (or perhaps because) it seems to be changing in real time. after my own suspension, I spoke to dozens of people who got in trouble for using the same phrase

Bluesky spent the last 2 days banning anyone who didn't have effusive praise for Charlie Kirk and his online child nazi factory, but an accredited Newspaper reporting dangerous misinformation that will read to people being harmed is perfectly fine

Manufacturing consent to round us all up, use us for their own sexual release, and then murder us is relatively difficult. Inspiring a few people with AR-15s to come for us isn't. When politicians and our fine media institutions advance these lies, they're working towards both outcomes.

Running it in the WSJ, getting guys like Gorka to repeat it on TV, these things hit people whose benchmark for separating truth from falsehood is "have I heard this stated authoritatively 3 or more times?" The entire right wing info ecosystem is built on repeating lies to hit those thresholds.

They constantly push the line that trans people are responsible for scores of mass shootings, a fiction many people now believe solely because they say it to each other every time a shooting occurs, because they're trying to cast us as a lethal threat requiring lethal state or vigilante force.

I’m in honest awe of how casually the media & the ruling class blame & terrorize us without cause or justification, and move on without acknowledging their error. In collective memory their behavior will be justified and we will be left more monstrous than before. Never a retraction, or deescalation

If any kind of reckoning happens, it's going to be aimed at the corrupting influence of video games, and there is some evidence that will make it easy for them. The real problem are the publishers in the late 90's and early 2000's that wanted communities without the responsibility of managing them.

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board: It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible https://theonion.com/it-is-journalism-s-sacred-duty-to-endanger-the-lives-of-1850126997/

It'd be nice if there was a moment of reflection from the many cis people who just witnessed the WSJ attempt to initiate a pogrom against trans Americans at the behest of a fascist influencer. But I won't hold my breath.

All the media I grew up with taught me that if civilization were caught between warring death cults, there would be cool monsters. I'm here to tell you buddy, there are no cool monsters right now and that is wildly disappointing.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

It’s really one of those mornings where reading the news makes me think the Gnostics were right on the big picture if not the details (which they couldn’t agree on) and the universe is the product of stupid, incompetent assholes fucking up an attempt to be cool.

i dont think anything can really be concretely said to have been found out about the shooter beyond the fact that the press were extremely happy to help the republican party with a completely unsupported anti-trans blood libel. this latter fact is really the only thing that matters atm

So @dc.com pulled Red Hood from digital storefronts but you can still buy all of Sandman. The lesson here is that DC doesn't care if you sexually assault women, but don't you dare make fun of a dead fascist.

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

Here are the facts: Bluesky violated their own Terms of Service because they panicked and saw Nazis on twitter getting angry. They took marching orders from the Nazis and helped them target BIPOC and trans users on their website. @jay.bsky.team is complicit. @aaron.bsky.team is complicit

Hello everyone. You may know Gretchen Felker-Martin has once again been suspended from bc they do that whenever some chud complains. Her brand-new ongoing DC series was also cancelled for the same reason. It’s stupid fascist bullshit as usual. Gretchen’s work rules. Consider supporting her here:

Completely missing from the circus around the racist's death is the culpability of the people and institutions who funded, supported and promoted him. He could have remained a garden variety American bigot, safe in his hideousness, but someone decided he needed to be a national figure.

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

let's be honest and say that it is and always was way more "dangerous" and "transgressive" (if you're into that) to date and fully respect a trans person if you're cis than it ever was to be in a "trad" straight cis relationship, one of the least dangerous or transgressive things you could ever do.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Trying to get ahead of fascists by shutting down anyone who refuses to perform the ceremony of grief over the death of a fascist is not going to make you safe from them.

I'm hearing it was Gavin Newsom who shot Kirk to cover up that Newsom kept trying to be his friend even after being told no. Kirk was going to go public with the emails.

My confidence in the world has been restored. Gavin Newsom has found a way to become even more of one of those worms you find in writhing masses of inside fish from poisoned lakes.

And the hits keep coming ...

I mean ...

And of course, this banger:

BTW ... one comment to consider:

Everyone remember your Luigi lesson: They're lying about the reward and you will lose your job.
