He's 100% the kind of whiny edgelord who will turn openly hard right and say it's all our fault/we drove him to it by being meanies to him.

I'm known for writing slowly and diamond-polishing everything beyond reason, and AI is purely repulsive, not at all "seductive as hell."

Cyberpunk 2077 is my whole identity* right now. I finished the dlc and turned around and started another playthrough the next day. I've got 2 different score LPs and bought the PC edition off ebay w/no game code just to get the score CDs. I'm considering a tattoo. *also gardening

I loved a blog called Eggs Bacon Chips and Beans, where this English cat reviewed diners. Specifically, he only reviewed a plate of eggs, bacon, chips, and beans at each spot. I still miss that site.

Dudes just left after installing our french drain and for the first time since moving into this house I'm very excited for heavy rains.

Oh, wow. Not near me but they're amazing live.

Widow Bay, which I'm loving, reminded me that I haven't watched Jim Cummings try his best not to come completely apart in a while. Think I'll fire up Wolf of Snow Hollow today.

Good morning! www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Wow this is incredible how come more people don't know about this??? 🪶 🐣

I made corn cheese ice cream and ate so much corn cheese ice cream that I abraded my soft palate. New injury tier unlocked.

I belong to the generation of people who resist getting diagnosed for anything because any such diagnosis becomes a pre-existing condition for which you will absolutely be penalized if ever you succeed in getting health insurance

RSD luck shone brightly upon me and @yesthatshawn.bsky.social today, got everything we were after! Well done, Lexington KY indies, you glorious pups.

Every single day, I move my allergy pills out of the way to access my coffee*, and an hour later am all "why am I dying to death - oh, right, allergy pills." *I put them in front of the coffee so I will not forget to take them ... this has been happening for like 20 years straight. Dammit, brain.

I just finished my first playthrough (no DLC yet) of Cyberpunk 2077 and I fucking loved it. Loved it. I tried on launch and it was a wreck, then I got sidetracked with other games. It's no longer a wreck, it's wonderful. I can't believe it's 6 years since launch. Do not fucking spoil the DLC for me.

It's Day 8 of Women In Horror Year, and today I'm talking about a book every single reader or writer of Horror should read at least once in their lives. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Seven Shows to get to know me: Black Sails Harlots The Knick Treme The Magicians The Expanse Killjoys (yes, the prompt was for 5 shows but I'm extra, so get to know that about me too)

Happy ThinkGeek Remembrance Day to all who celebrate.

Shit is pretty bleak right now. We need a new kind of cheese

The threat to international adoptees is the most severe. But it is also a real problem that so many domestic adoptees have no access or even legal right to their original birth certificate

Mako achieved Disconcerting Loaf form.

I suspect that this 80s helicopter saturation is partly why my husband became a coast guard rescue swimmer. What's cooler than helos? Jumping out of them into the ocean like a helpful madman.

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social & Eric Overmyer co-created, in Treme, not only my favorite TV show, but one of our truly transcendent cultural works, about one of our most real, most American at our worst & best & most special cities. In so doing they helped create a vital new genre as well. 🗃️

Well, this was too much for my tender heart today. Full-on ugly cried.

and a lot of writers of genre fiction also like to say "I'm not trying to say anything, I'm just writing for fun" and like that is TOTALLY FINE! but. if you're not thinking about what you're saying on purpose, you're just leaving your subconscious flying naked in the wind. BRAVE MOVE!

I've had this piece open in its own tab for a few days now and I jumpscare myself BAD every time I tab past it.

Found a new aquarium shop around the corner. Owner's fb features a multipage screed about how they just CANNA SURVIVE without using AI in ads, and "we checked our records and nobody complaining about the AI art has spent money in our store, thus, suck it" or whatever. Correct, I won't. Fuck off.

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, by Umberto Boccioni, 1913, (cast 1931 or 1934), 📸 by Wang Zhao

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

The wainscotting and panelling draw nearer, but nobody seems to mind, and when she points it out, they tell her it is not so, and was not so.

Twenty Years Later: Paranoia Agent Anime Series

You're a dishrag wandering the desert and yelling at stuff.

I've got so used to horror novel titles in first person plural that I assumed "Every Day We Plant Trees' was sparse-prosed gruesome biome-collapse ecohorror.

And this gives me the opportunity to post my collection of Hill House editions :) 💙📚🩸

When I'm EXTREMELY FURIOUS I get extra-super-intensely into running/repairing machines and right now it's sewing machines. And sergers, which have needles AND knives.

So sick of AI chat and "productivity" discourse especially now, when we need art with teeth and claws and raw edges. So send me your weird little projects, your self-published odd books, your cool scuzzy zines, your quick and dirty games. I wanna see them all. Gimme 👇

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long this sale will last. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

I watched this delightful documentary/well-edited vlog and vicariously went on a shitty vacation with a trio of funny women. Highly recommended. I legit want a physical media copy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynVL...

Lawlessness is a hallmark of fascism. The law and the rule of law are an agreement we make between each other to be ruled by something other than violence and the inane egotistical urges of a dictator.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

The fact that conservative movements have dollars slushing around with random ancient billionaires has made them think that's the only way social movements are funded. Genuinely do not realise that this is not normal or how solidarity works. Pathetic.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

the entire timeline has spoken with one voice. and they're saying "Delroy Lindo"

Do I like video games? Or do I, in fact, like five video games and perpetually search for echoes of them in every other game I play?

Goths. We had a rule in the 90s. You had to spend at least as long at the goth club as you had spent getting ready to *go* to the goth club.

The videos of the brutal, horrific assaults/abductions at the Speedway - my old apartment is in the background. That gas station was my front yard & my pantry. This world, this country, is a lot smaller than the nazis seem to realize.
