> So, is a trip to the moon perilous? Oh yes! Very. There's starvation, food poisioning, electrical issues, a multitude of possible accidents, all without proper medical care or any other help. There's a real chance the husband won't make it. > And... for the astronaut herself?

If you're sharing screen shots of articles, there's literally no excuse in the world besides laziness not to copy the freaking text from the article and paste it into the alt text. Do better, people.

Holy shit, I guess y'all will have to continue waiting forever for the official From Beyond Press tiktok channel. This is fucking grim.

i realized watching OBAA is a completely different experience as a Black person (this will be a read only thread... you know who you are... you know why)

Our editor-in-chief has resurrected his personal account, where he'll talk about music, books, movies, and TV shows instead of doing it here. @phikemillips.bsky.social is where it's at.

"This time will be different," the convention planners told each other. "This time, our members won't notice, and if they notice, they won't care." Then: kaboom.

Apropos of nothing, I took this photo today while touring a possible new home. Decades of layers left by previous lives. Maybe we'll add a layer.

guys I’m from the SFF publishing Internet, you gotta stop engaging with patrick toml*nson, just block him, he’s a black hole

When the AI slop summer reading list dropped last year I knew I had to write about making book lists. Thanks to @thebaffler.com for letting me go long with bewildered nostalgia & regret on 20 years of Internet book culture & how we made the slop book list inevitable. thebaffler.com/after-the-fa...

From today, the Crime Writers Association will no longer be posting on X. The safety and wellbeing of our members is always our priority, and following ongoing concerns around user safety, privacy, and recent AI-related issues, we’ve decided to step back from active use of this platform.

Proton Mail seems to be the thing. In the interim, here's a guide to turning a lot of this stuff off in Gmail -- ironically, provided by Proton! proton.me/blog/turn-of...

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Why are all of these new people following us all of a sudden? It's weird. Are we on a list? As Matthew Sweet once said, "I don't like knowing people / I don't like people knowing about me." Er. What we mean to say is: welcome new followers!

This is what's up.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

God damn it, DO NOT GO ALONG WITH VIRAL PHOTO TRENDS. The 2016 thing is so obviously an attempt to gather data to improve facial recognition software that I veritably plotz every time someone I respect does it.

Number of pairs of wired headphones I lost in ~35 years of buying them: 1. I left them on the plane in Bangkok in 2004. Number of wireless earbuds I've lost in ~3 years of buying them: 6. This is not progress.
