time to make a TTRPG where your party plays a group of characters from this list, and your mission is to get into the Parkview Tavern

The authors guild can go fuck themselves

2 am Adam will probably be upset that 3 pm Adam had a cappuccino, but what the hell.

All those pictures from MSG make him look like his pelvis is absorbing his torso. I hope he's miserable.

Think about this research nearly every day now reading the news.

(steady drum and bass beat) BOB COSTAS: In the NBA Finals, you will only go as far as your leaders can take you. But what happens when The City That Never Sleeps meets The Executive Who Constantly Does?

Actual quote by a guy on our local online message board, arguing that the t-shirt & slogan for the town’s annual 4th of July parade was too woke & anti-Trump: "I for one do not want to see a 4th of July parade celebrating revolutionary resistance."

When writing a fantasy novel, you need to have a magic system that is awe-inspiring, novel, and powered exclusively by butter. #ImportantWorldbuildingTips

Hello my fellow heterosexuals. If you want to be the most dope ally around, give cold hard cash. Even a tenner can help a person eat and that is a good thing. Just think how mad it would make Musk knowing you are a loving caring human giving cash to trans people.

One of the craziest things about the US is how hard it is to lose a driver's license permanently. Sizable chunks of the population just shouldn't be driving.

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

Of course its sad that Bari Weiss has done to 60 Minutes exactly what she was brought in to do. But it's also funny that w/r/t Pelley they exhibited the exact same brand of sweaty, panicky thin skin so many interview subjects have exhibited over the years. It's like this guy *runs* 60 Minutes now!

The new prequel novella for our Sea Beyond duology is out now at Adventitious! Come whet your appetite for the series: www.adventitious.net/stories/non-...

No, Your Honor, I do not consider it a food crime to put a kimchi pancake inside a scallion pancake, fold it like a taco, and eat.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

This is a long shot but I need your help! 🙏 Are there any audio/video professionals with an HDMI protocol analyzer (Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz, Unigraf, etc) in the Seattle area that would be willing to help me with a project I'm working on?

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

A nice trip to Portland: a gyoza Scotch egg sando, a pilgrimage to Powell's, and a visit with @fraying.bsky.social and @hchamp.bsky.social and a whole bunch of dogs and goats. Plus sushi.

All the unused Lower Decks episode titles @bradwinters.bsky.social and I argued about can finally be realized.

I still demand a better future.

IMPORTANT NEWS RE: ANTHROPIC AI SETTLEMENT According to PW, the Authors Guild is collecting information from authors whose publishers failed to register their books with the U.S. Copyright Office, and who believe they were excluded from the class action settlement as a result. (1/2)

Any time someone mentions the Adama Maneuver I am compelled to seek out the clip. Possibly the greatest single minute of SF television, if not all of cinema.

AI can never be a daydreaming, yearning adolescent and is thus incapable of making actual art.

Seriously, fuck this. I'm so sick of our profession's cowardice. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

me this morning:

I cannot pick a favorite H!AV comic, but this one is in my top five. www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id...

I'm watching a hearing for County Assessor John Arthur Wilson's this morning, where a Seattle judge has called him in to respond to concerns about a "problematic" series of social media posts he put up not-so-subtly bragging about getting out of having to wear an ankle moniitor, a story I broke.

Hey Seattle and surrounding areas. Meet me at 9 AM on May 6 at 520 Pike Street. Let's open a new Barnes and Noble store there.

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Which program do Jedi use to open PDF files? Adobe Wan Kenobi Anyways, in honour of May the Fourth, we're throwing it back to this gem from April of 1978 when Star Wars and public health teamed up to encourage routine immunizations.

As soon as the first generation not brain-damaged by leaded gasoline got the chance to vote, they elected a black president. And by God, if we have to inflict a new wave of mass cognitive damage to stop that from happening again, WE SHALL!

On this May Day, remember Sean Aloysius O'Brien.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller and Grogu

I always wondered how much of my grandmother's mental decline was entropy taking its course and how much was Benson & Hedges. Yes, I'm talking about that stupid cigarette article. No, I'm not linking it.

Jesus Havarti Christ

My kingdom for a B-Ark.

“Why don’t you want to have a conversation about AI?” “I broke into your house and stole your shit and now I just want to talk.”

Over the past 20 years, Seattle lost the Sonics thanks to the stewardship of Howard Schultz, saw dozens of stores close while the company engaged in apparent union-busting, and steadily reduced its local headcount. There's coffee everywhere, Seattle. Spend your money elsewhere.

We all know why Bluesky isn't working.

Butlerian Jihad now.

This is our Butlerian Jihad.

Dortmunder. In space.

I never got the Disney cartoon “Motor Mania” until I started biking and walking most places. The transformation that happens for the vast majority of drivers when they get behind the wheel of their powerful mobile multi-ton living room is almost supernatural (it’s not, but it feels that way).

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Please make good choices today. Please.
