“Maddie’s phone buzzed once and she glanced down and saw the text” Thoughts and Prayers, by Meg Elison Narrator: Sofia Quintero Host: Scott Campbell Audio: Graeme Dunlop C/W: Gun violence, school shooting pseudopod.org/2026/04/24/p... This story is a PseudoPod original.

ENCYCLOPEDIA - Funk is an aggressive resurgence of *The New* aesthetic of the Revacholian Thirties, but this time originating in Graad. It's brought there by the Iilmaraan diaspora. Funk is more masculine and guitar-oriented than disco. Even more *dangerous*.

I opened a new pair of sleep shades and tried them on my head. Suzerainty tapped my leg. I placed the sleep shades on her head and she bounced with glee. All children are the same.

It's like if you let guitars play what they want to play it's Surf Rock, and pianos want to play Jim Steinman songs.

I always assumed that brain function had to line up with cytoarchitectonics. It turns out I was wrong. Human cortex, especially PFC, is tiled by chains of functional patches that subdivide and interlink architectonic areas into parallel processing streams. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

This is wild: the authors find evidence for giant, macro-predatory octopuses in Late Cretaceous oceans that might max out at *62 feet long,* comfortably large enough to attack, kill and eat mosasaurs

Suzerainty is from Clovis, New Mexico. There were some broken eggs and tortillas. She gets Chilaquiles for dinner.

89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.

It's time to set the record straight. #TheVampireLestat debuts June 7 on AMC and AMC+. youtu.be/7c7JFMTBeVk

I attended a filming of the live action Bluey show. Indiana Jones, Bodie, and Suzerainty.

Domestic violence isn’t a private issue. It’s not random series of isolated incidents. It’s a pattern of violent patriarchy, it’s a public health crisis — and it is killing far too many of us. It has to stop. We have to make it stop. 3/3 www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/21/o...

New CPC outlook for July-September shows an active monsoon season potentially ahead. Warm Eastern Pacific + possible rapid transition to El Niño main drivers in this outlook. This would especially favor SW Colorado. Fingers crossed... #COwx

A dame in the stairwell just asked me, "Hey, do you want to buy some Pokémon cards? I'll hook you up."

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

DO HARM TO YOUR ENEMIES; TREAT YOURSELF WITH KINDNESS!

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.

BABY KATYDIDS HATCHING FROM EGGS!

YES IT'S ALL MEN. THANK YOU.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

In his autobiography Tim Curry wrote about how the make up took hours but GRACE JONES was so in love with the costume she would sit in his lap and stroke his horns.

The Everly Brothers: Born Yesterday. From Jack. This is the most Jack record of all records and I need a beer with my laundry folding. I wonder if all Amanda's know Amanda Ruth.

Suzerainty is a big fan of cozy horror games. We are chasing her around the house with packing materials, cardboard boxes, and she's pretending to be scared. She loves the suspension of normal house rules "no barking in the house, no teeth on humans." All children are the same.

"I practice my jazz standards."

Some of you will be super into this: today I am oiling my leathers. Packing my boots away for summer.

A new study from UC Santa Barbara shows that watching experimental animation expands creativity and opens new ways of seeing the world. #Animation #ExperimentalAnimation #MentalHealth #BrainRot

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY GOLD STRIKE LITTLE FREE LIBRARY! 1st and last day. Good night Gold Strike. To be loved is to be changed.

Suzerainty arrived home from daycare round in the belly again. She's clearly eaten her lunch, and some other doggies lunches, again.

I’m sorry WHAT

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

“Instead of “why are they all coming forward now?” we should be asking why Eric Swalwell felt so secure in his abuse that he had the gall to run for Governor of Cali-freakin’-fornia.”

people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not

A new study shows that Black women outpace every other group of women in workforce participation. Yet they are still paid less & retire in poverty at twice the rate of white women. This is a system. It is long past time this country started carrying them the way they have carried us.

This band is so fun live. Check them out when you can. @1876band.bsky.social

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

There's been an obnoxious rattle in the ceiling of this office forever. I climbed on the desk, lifted up the ceiling tile, saw the issue, fixed it. Took 45 seconds. Many people use this office!

Women are gathering degrees like they're the infinity stones and men are asking chatgpt which gas gets you highest

A BIG deal! Rail service along the Colorado front range is on the horizon - with plans (including viable financing with current revenues) for 'joint service' from Union Station to and from Ft. Collins by 2029. Initial service is for three round trips daily, and max speeds of 79 MPH.

I just love my friends so much, you know? Have you told your friends you love em recently? How's the chat looking? Phoned em for a gab in the last few weeks? Hung out in person if you can? You should do that. You should definitely do that. Humans are made to live and love and be in community.

Crying into your steering wheel is the sign of a healthy society, actually.

I used to work (and live) at a marina. 80% of men seem to believe that because they can *buy* a boat it means they know how to *operate* a boat. Hint: They do not. Number of vessels piloted by women I have towed to a service dock: 0
