"I see you have a new sword," the swordmaster said. "May I have a look?" "No," said the student. "It is a cursed blade. I would only draw this in dire need." "What kind of curse? Must draw blood, or will betray you?" "It will speak, and tell an embarrassing truth about both wielder and opponent."

@universalhub.com Have you decided to stop allowing comments on the French Toast system? I do see ones from this year. Also, could you please add the French Toast system to bksy, not just Xitter? Even if snow from a blue sky is oxymoronic? Thanks!

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

For all your vegan steak grilling needs.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset. This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.

This was our experience last weekend trying to re-animate a printer that had been disconnected by the house painters.

A reminder alert popped up. "Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?" Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course." "Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat." "Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Its time for a rising full moon on Revere Beach @universalhub.com

The start of this article by astronaut Cady Coleman got me nostalgic - I'd forgotten she was only 4 classes behind me. It wasn't until my now-ex-husband was in Ride's NASA selection group that I understood "real people" could be astronauts. www.technologyreview.com/2025/06/24/1...

Build it! Everyone should learn the joy of changing trains at Park Street. This is what peak transit system design looks like. Seattle to San Francisco? Just go Inbound to Park St and change trains to go Outbound to San Francisco! Nothing could be simpler!
