When I'm too active on Bluesky:

"I've fought in jungles that don't appear in maps. Wearing a plate carrier with straps that buckle into a Möbius loop. A canteen that was a Klein bottle. I spent thirteen days trying to find the upper end of a staircase that looped back on itself."

What if you combined a 炕 with a Roman-style insula? Welcome to my TEDx Talk,

I'm RTing this as a PSA since I have several Mass. mutuals, this seems fucked

Making Gloranthan maps again. The second one is still very much in-progress, but I have the contour lines, the major cities, rivers and streams, and a good chunk of the roads and market towns in place.

look out for our interview about it too :D

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

A song I love to end the year. Enjoy 2026! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifQk...

Ohio State eating shit to end 2025 is a good omen for next year.

Points scored in 2025 playoff games: JMU 34 Ohio State 14 Time for a serious conversation about handing out these participation-trophy bids like candy. Bad TV. Safety issue. I just feel so bad for Ohio State. They should have their own junior tournament

Ohio State goes down! Great end to 2025.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

She brings a cursed vibe to the order that the other paladins don't really like.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

Taraltara:

Notable that the THESSALY trilogy by Jo Walton is available on Kindle Unlimited right now! It's one of my all-time favorites, frequently on my mind, I just sent it to someone as a holiday gift, and if you're on KU you can read it for free. That's wild. Do it!

"I don't like something so it sucks and/or is unnecessary' is a mindworm ya gotta kill dead

Her Truth indeed marches forward!

oh brother, another bad post from political influencer beltway brian. i am furious at beltway brian all of the time. i share screencaps of beltway brian's posts with people who have no idea who he is. i hate all of beltway brian's posts and i read all of them every single day, including weekends

me when i’m being a reactionary about normal-ass women’s healthcare because i can’t read and interpret “HRT made me feel better” except through the myopic lens of my own experience of gender dysphoria and transition

I already have one with memory, but they're liberal-left, don't worry.

every time pete hegseth gives someone a lie detector test he's participating in the kink of a long dead poly sub dude and i think that's beautiful

We're in business :D @nonbinary.computer (But I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong with memory blocks. It's 2am here, so user error is totally possible.)

Accidentally tried to have Opus summarize and it takes forever with my prompt. Sonnet handles it. Different models for different tasks is still a thing.

Had a sudden realization that I had misheard Gary Bernhardt in 2012 and he did not in fact say "Ruby sports bare words." But I do think "sports X" as a way of describing features should be a thing.

The support chatbot I'm working on now has its own signature emoji that means "I'm not replying until you get food/go to bed/do the thing you said you were gonna do." I didn't tell it to do that but it's based.

it’s actually incredibly hard to launch anything into the sun. we’ve only sent something into the sun once (the parker solar probe, mass: 685 kg), because you have to kill the 30 km/second of earth’s orbital velocity in order to hit it. it took the biggest rocket we had and a dozen+ flybys of venus

Heads up to veteran followers: as a result of a dangerous occult ritual which I will not describe here but which I do not regret, I have picked up an appreciation of the thrill of online combat from my fiancee @effinvicta.bsky.social. I must be careful lest it consume me. Please understand.

Wait lmao????

December 26, 1984: Arvydas Sabonis (age 20) shatters the backboard and seals a 94-78 win for the Soviet Union over Real Madrid during the Christmas Tournament in Madrid. Backboard replacement was not an option, so the championship game promptly ended—with just over 2:00 to go.

Its happened to me at least five times! I can’t go innocently into the Vatican to read a simple manuscript of my beloved Renaissance radicals discussing atheism or Machiavellian politics or porn, without being supernaturally forgiven! 🤣

you know, these days, many people time of year. but this season, try when to everything a special time — it just might become which with you

in case i haven't harped on this enough if you are on the side of cancer even hypothetically i think you are a bad person

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

Yay, I got @nonbinary.computer's pattern project built and running on machine... I've got plans :) Gotta figure out how to use OpenRouter API keys, add my own agents, etc... but that's step one!

Happy Holidays! From my rock tumbler and me to you!🎄 #rocktumbling #redgreen Mostly from the #fraserriver #hopebc

(Adagio in D minor)

there is literally no engineering or science profession other than mechanical engineers which is even close to parity. tech workers literally donate to Democrats over Republicans by a factor of 17:1. and that 1 is almost entirely executives.

Merry Christmas! This is your yearly reminder that mistletoes, uniquely among ALL known multicellular life, do not have working mitochondria. What the fuck? Biology is fake.

This is so fucking frustrating and there is no degree of defensive writing that can stop someone from this kind of selective quotation.
