My score on that Guardian list is 6, which shames me, too high. Usually I score lower on these things. I blame high school.

Loved this game

People keep falling into the trap of thinking that reddit discussions represent real mass opinion, and it's exhausting. Arguably ruined GoT. (Among other things.) The self proclaimed super fans don't matter and never have in terms of overall success.

You can tell how long I've had this old monitor by how much thinner the new one is

If you are the person who just sent me a blurb request, you typed your email wrong and I can't reach you =)

Okay, is there a show of the "cop solves crimes with quirky-but-brilliant specialist" genre in which the cop very gradually realizes his partner is actually, like, Hannibal Lecter?

Well, carp. Last night the dishwasher quit (short circuit) and this morning one of my monitors is dead? Please buy books etc.

Is Chutes & Ladders the worst kid board game? It has all the non-gameplay of Candyland but with extra "SURPRISE you lose!" that seems literally designed to make kids cry.

I forget what happened after that. Stocks reached a permanently high plateau or some, right?

Most people don't care how art is created. I aim my art at those who do. Here's some human-made art on your feed today!

If it WERE possible to create intelligence by feeding giant piles of text into a linear algebra woodchipper (it's not) the decision to use, as a corpus, "the internet" would be frankly insane

Z: I got you this bracelet for your birthday! Mom: That's right, last year! Z: That was in March 1681.

Hi everyone! I don't talk much about it here, but I have an autoimmune disorder called ankylosing spondylitis. My life is SO MUCH better now that I have a diagnosis and medication. But that medication also costs me *$700* per month just to be able to literally walk.

I loved this book. It's got all the Conan and Fritz Leiber DNA you could want, with a modern sensibility and fantastic prose.

Me: AI can't be conscious, it's just a big pile of linear algebra Also me: If I skip too many songs in a row I might hurt Spotify's feelings

Right?! This criticism is so weird.

For some reason Google News keeps showing me a genre of essay I would describe as "I made a catastrophically bad life decision that I am now attempting to reframe as a lesson in personal growth."

"At least the weird skull manipulating people across the millennia for unknown purpose isn't also a pervert." #thethirteenthgod www.royalroad.com/fiction/1472...

This is a GREAT novella and criminally underread

Why is this happening A) LED lightbulbs suck shit B) my bathroom is haunted C) all of the above

I love this cover so much @caseyblair.bsky.social

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

This is a great example of both the usual reasons crypto sucks (irrevocable automated instant transfers are bad) and ALSO the reasons AI is fundamentally insecure and you should never ever let it within a hundred yards of anything mission-critical or valuable.

Is it morally acceptable to make up a prophecy so you can fulfill it later? #thethirteenthgod www.royalroad.com/fiction/1472...

Nothing can prepare you for how literal this description is until you see the ad.

Thinking about this book a lot these days

For @aptshadow.bsky.social , got here right in time for the hatching! (Hidden for cw spiders)

Thanks so much!

The science channel my daughter watches has a video called "What if the Moon disappeared?" which goes over various consequences. Some are sensible ("reduced tides", "ecosystem disruption") but he makes two claims that seem very wrong: -our day would speed up to 4-6 hours, generating huge winds ->

Here's a new one: a "request for full manuscript" from an agent I've never heard of, sent through the "Contact Me" form on my website.

Ah yes, the infamous Death by Newbery Medal. I joke when I talk to kids: "You guys don't know how good you have it these days. When I was growing up the only stuff for kids were award-winning books about dead dogs."

Hey! Lani's here at last! #thethirteenthgod www.royalroad.com/fiction/1472...
