Hello Gaius my old friend

what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence. At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?

I'm sorry, but what the ACTUAL fuck?

Nothing but love and respect for my captain, who isn't debasing himself and setting fire to his entire legacy. people.com/patrick-stew...

A little bit of good news, to break up the horrors. We've driven over to this house a few times when we've had friends in for a visit, and it just never gets old. I'm glad it's being protected and preserved for future generations.

Wil Wheaton posted to his blog and I only just now got to reading it, (because…. waves at the general state of the world). You might also really enjoy and appreciate his “story behind the story” of this photo: Thank you, Wil. @wilwheaton.net wilwheaton.net/2026/02/seve...

When and where does Kristi Noem face her first state trial? I have all these frequent flier miles, and it's been a long time since I got to watch something truly satisfying in person.

We told you so.

Aw, thanks! I loved this story. It's so timely, in so many different directions.

The bulbs have been coming up, and because I don't remember what I put, and where I planted it, every one of them is a surprise. I love how these look like little torches. #BloomScrolling #Gardening #SomethingAnythingThatIsntTerribleForAChange

Donald Trump's badly slurred, incoherent explanation for war with Iran raises new questions about Joe Biden's advanced age.

This thread is an incredible catalog and history of moral panics in the early 20th century. The dumbasses of the day were terrified about *checks notes* kids reading books at bed time. And it just gets more wacky from there.

Are you an unpopular Republican president destroying the economy, hurting working class people to further enrich your billionaire pals, suddenly staring down a landslide electoral defeat? Ask your Vichy enablers about starting a war in the middle east, premised on WMDs that do not exist!

If you know someone who is really great at running an RPG, you have got to hold on to them, you know? Carpe DM, friends!

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

One of my favorite TAS illustrations I got to do for Star Trek Adventures. The outfit is based on a never used outfit for Young Spock. It never made it to a colorist so I took a cue from Irv Kaplan's color sense. #TOSSatNight

oh thank god they took out a bunch of extremely dangerous [checks notes] little girls

More like "Operation Epstein Fury."

I really hope that every single person who was so stupid they believed his lies about ending wars in the middle east feels so much shame and regret, they collapse into a singularity. We told you so. We fucking told you so.

Kash Patel Faces Backlash After Partying With Nancy Guthrie’s Captors

An Epstein survivor made serious allegations against President Trump that she says happened when she was a minor — serious enough that the FBI interviewed her multiple times. Yet, those files have now gone missing. There has never been a bigger cover up in modern American history. End it now.

I saw this in today's Garbage Day email, and it killed me. I love this kind of humor, and I love the way these kids did this. www.youtube.com/shorts/1warJ...

Thank you! I am so proud of what we did to bring this story to life. The editing and sound design is so good, isn't it?

I wrote a blog about a wonderful experience I had this past weekend at Pensacon.

The reverse alchemy of turning gold into tin in the amount of time it takes a fascist to chug a beer.

this is the stupidest thing and it absolutely undid me

I’m so fucking proud of the Olympic gold-winning US women's hockey team for declining to attend Trump's stupid State of the Union address.

HI, I'm twelve.

So out of nowhere, I was overcome by the need to listen to this record all the way through for the first time in awhile, and I think that the eponymous 1989 debut from The Stone Roses may be one of the few flawless records of that decade.

A lovely change of pace with this one, as @timpratt.org gives us a lovely moment that's almost magical realism in that the speculative fiction elements support the story and emotion, but aren't the headliner. Read, beautifully as always, by @wilwheaton.net. pca.st/episode/6b33...

This is a beautiful story from last year, that came across my event horizon today. I genuinely love my Star Trek family, and I am so grateful for their truly unconditional love and support. ew.com/wil-wheaton-...

It sure seems like when we have our basic needs met, and don't have to hustle to survive, humans will almost always choose to create art. And there is a lot of evidence that when a society decides to honor and promote art and artists, everyone who lives there is measurably happier.

I dropped the ball on Project: Promote It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton, didn't I? Let me just pick it up, because it is Wednesday, and we have a new story for you! This week, it's "Last Lucid Day" by Dominique Dickey. May it help you recover your hit points and mana. wilwheaton.net/podcast/

To all who observe, Ramadan Mubarak! May all your prayers be answered.

Holy shit. This is extremely relevant -- like, it's eerie how relevant -- to a story called "Lily the Immortal" by Kyile Lee Baker, that I narrated for It's Storytime last week.

Where do you go online that isn't social media, when you want a break from the horrors? 20 years ago, I would have gone to Fark, or Slashdot, or Metafilter as a place to find interesting art, funny stuff ... you know, things we took for granted before the horrors. Where do you go these days?

Hey! It's me! Here again to post about my podcast, It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton! Every Wednesday I bring you short speculative fiction, wherever you get your podcasts. We also have a Patreon if you don't like ads at patreon.com/storytime. Members get AMAs, and lots of behind the scenes stuff.

This week, I'm going to get way out of my comfort zone and promote the hell out of my podcast. I'm so proud of the work we are doing, and I want as many people as possible to know it exists. So I'll begin here: wilwheaton.net/podcast/
