I am darkness leaping out of light, leaping out of thee!

I read that in his voice

To the surprise of no one

Garden people: looking for a shrub rose, or alternately a small climbing rose, for a tricky spot that gets the full urban heat island effect--reflected heat/light from windows and fencing. Taking suggestions.

Well well. Well well well.

This collection of essays in @thebaffler.com on trying to make a living from writing is as terrifying as any horror movie I've watched through my fingers on Halloween. An honest conversation about money in this field is extremely welcome. thebaffler.com/odds-and-end...

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I wish there were a theorist of ecological communism who also made great wallpaper," then I have an article just for you. doi.org/10.1177/1474...

"The surge has not gotten much national attention in part because Tennessee’s Republican governor supports it—he has said it will continue indefinitely." "“We are under full-blown occupation and immigrants are going missing. No one should fear their government for holding a phone.”"

"People treat characters like they're real people and real people like they're characters." Whew.

The security guard at the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin Abdullah, was a father of eight. Before he was killed by two teenage attackers, he used his radio to warn teachers at the school to lock the classroom doors. There were 200 children inside at the time. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

The afterlives of this book will never cease to amaze me. I thought it was going to be a covid casualty--instead it was a bestseller in France, won a prix at Angouleme, an Eisner at San Diego, and keeps getting re-collected because @cjward.bsky.social's art is so damn beautiful. Space nuns!

This is such annoying hand-washing

Straight hockey players? In this economy?!

Just saw somebody on YouTube comment "Tulips were basically the NFTs of the 1630s" and you know what, A+ analogy

This is not how you do a headline, Space Daily

Saw a literal biker gang--average age looked to be about 60--outside Fat's Chicken and Waffles yesterday. Line of Harleys parked out front and everything. Can't say I've ever seen a biker gang in Seattle before

People respond to AI because it flatters them. It's trained to reinforce what you already believe to be true and tell you how wonderful and correct you are. Literati are no more immune than lonely incels who fall in love with chatbots

Hi! Today is *actually* the final order cut off for SUPERNATURAL: CASTIEL #1 - call your local comic book shops!! tell them to get it for you!! www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/vi...

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

It's literal comic book villainy. The bad guys can tell you every aspect of their plan straight-to-camera because they started implementing it 30 years ago and it's too late to stop them.

I have to keep reminding myself that despite the horrors, human beings are still making things like this:

These are the same guys who've been pushing "Islamofascism" on little hijabi girls for 20+ years How does it feel, Mike. How does it feel

This is where superhero comics probably peaked honestly

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.
