Names of more advanced polyhedra are bloated, confusing and unmemorable. We don't call it a "hexahedron", we call it a "cube", so why should we stand for "icosidodecahedron" when we can call it like a "vlex" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosido...

@qntm.org happy release day! I was lucky enough to get a digital ARC, and I’m very happy to add this edition next to my og copy on the shelf

if you’re a writer and have an idea but you’re thinking “idk how to stretch this into a novel” and that discourages you from finishing… consider just writing a short story or a novella. you don’t actually need to write a novel for a story to be worth reading

i love writing, so the surprise isnt about that, its just that this was NOT the life trot i expected. a very strange place to be, reaching the sort of 'worldwide corporate distribution' level in two unrelated art fields with no crossover at all. and then to get to compare them. i like books the best

A SPECIAL BUCKAROO MESSAGE. lucky day is out AUGUST 12TH @torbooks.bsky.social us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Wait, it’s Gundam day! How could I have almost forgotten 🫣 (if you didn’t know, dates are ordered YMD in Japan, so today is 2025.7.8 - 78 representing, well, RX-78-2)

This is a new Murderbot short story, coming out later this week on Reactor Magazine. It’s about ART and its crew, set before Network Effect, and how ART finally decided to tell them about meeting a rogue SecUnit.

A recent cover for @jdrhodesman.bsky.social, for a series described as "The Boys + Neon Genesis Evangelion." It lives up to the hype, but is more philosophical / self-aware (in some ways, all the caveats, etc. etc.) and is more like "The Girls + Getting Goosebumps from the Awesomeness." #booksky

How about we keep public libraries open 24 hours?

hey folks! this piece was recently featured on the album covers for the new twin albums by jazingsen, "a grain of blown dust" and "a grain of blown dust into oblivion"! if you're at all a fan of ambient/classical crossover, definitely give them a spin! links for both below ↓

I think one of my biggest issues is when reading sci-fi premises having the thought of ‘well that’s just not realistic’ like!! That’s the point dumbass! It’s fiction!
