Just got mine - thanks for the reminder @matociquala.bsky.social! Great deal!

I got paid millions of dollars to be an athlete in a locker room full of superhumans and this is flat out unreal. Wtf indeed.

I am leisurely making my way through Ursula Le Guin’s “Always Coming Home” and I came across a poem I just have to share. The ending especially slaps.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Heading out to Glen Echo to recapture some of the Glory Days of my youth. Happy New Year!

Here's something to end the year on a better note

Cis comedians making great trans jokes is always such a treat

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but was relaunched in Ultimate Tiny Tim #1, which takes place after Amazing Tiny Tim #332 and All-New Tiny Tim #200, and don’t forget to read the Scrooge / David Copperfield / Great Expectations crossover event minis otherwise the Miss Havisham bit won’t make sense

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Back in the GM Saddle! The narrative centers on a missing Wand of Minor Healing, stolen from the Academia Umbra vaults. Four protagonists—an arcane student, a diplomatic spy, a legionnaire, and an acolyte—approach the mystery from different angles. @landruajm.bsky.social #AD&D2e

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

I just saw (yet another) post about the disconnect between Big Tech and the general population on AI, and I gotta say having just got back from a conference where 20,000 scientists, scholars, and students were talking about how they were _already_ using AI ... my money's on Big Tech this time.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

you fire right back at them and you FIRE RIGHT AWAY.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

I would like all of you, each and every one, to go google “Miss Universe National Costume Competition 2025 Norway” right now

New all-time NHL goal record and hardly anyone’s talking about it smh

I've been looking forward to this movie since the first trailer dropped, and came away quite satisfied. Good popcorn movie, and a fine addition to the franchises.

This is a fantastic series of posts about subsistence farming and why your ancestors will rise from the grave and smack you if you return to it after they got out.

Yeah, for $18 bucks this is a worthy nostalgia dump.
