I want someone I know in London to see a neuropsychologist at UCL (not #MS but other neuro conditions & is struggling on all sorts of levels). University College London apparently has one of the best teams & she’s a patient there already If you happen to know, what’s the waiting list I wonder? 😬

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

And now, a very different and rather more positive version of "blocking" than we're used to seeing on social media

The next week's weather has only one day that might (MIGHT) get above freezing and I have two thoughts about this 1. About goddamn time it's almost December 2. I am a precious delicate flower and now will not leave my house until March at least

So far I tend to agree with this. Bluesky's corporate aims and goals are different than the user expectation for it, and no one company will make 23 million users 100% happy 100% of the time. But they've been good at communication and in giving users tools to create their own space. Tricky stuff.

What upcoming #GodotEngine games are you most looking forward to? Could be both games you're personally interested in playing, or which you think will have a big positive impact on the Godot ecosystem.

I think this tweet is badly mischaracterizing what Sarah Binder said but the New Republic page keeps crashing on me under the weight of the ads so it’s hard to tell for sure

In the interests of accountability and allowing for a new level of vulnerability here on the nice people website, I feel compelled to state that I recently rewatched the Matt Reeves/Pattison Batman movie and liked it quite a bit more than I did when I saw it in theaters.

I finally cut the cord with X. My heart hurts for the generations who will struggle and suffer because of the ugliness inside so many Americans.

Environmental advocates say that the US has reversed its position on "capping" plastic production in the forthcoming plastics treaty. The Council on Environmental Quality insists that it's a "clarification" of the original position. from @jbwinters.bsky.social grist.org/regulation/u...

Honestly it's up to the publisher (unless, I suppose, one is self-pubbing). But they make the call that you have a large enough fan base and/or general notability that your name in itself is an advertisement for the book, whatever the book is. For me, it started in 2011 and Fuzzy Nation.

Every once in a while I see some chud complaining I was a perfectly good writer until I started writing about politics and I'm all, motherfucker, I had a newspaper column where I wrote about politics long before I wrote novels, I was never NOT writing about politics, where the hell have YOU been

I mean, there's a reason Old Man's War sounds a lot like Heinlein. We often find our own voices by borrowing others and then finding all the ways they don't fit us. Eventually we speak in the voice that's ours.

I’m not exaggerating. This shit feel like a different dimension lol.

I have lived in the Dayton area for 24 years now and as far as I can recall there has never been a time when the 75 hasn’t been in a state of construction through Dayton proper. I just assume it’s some huge boondoggle that will never ever be finished because it was never meant to be finished.

The Moldovan Constitutional Court has validated the results of the referendum in which 50.4% voted in favour of EU membership. The Constitution will be amended. Slap in the face for Putin. Makes it hard for any of his proxies to roll it back.

This was a nice surprise. It's actually the first award I've received for a deep-sky image through a telescope (I've won several minor awards in other astro-imaging categories). I wasn't that happy with this edit after I submitted it. Hi-res: www.astrobin.com/full/efy4qa/... 🔭 #astrophotography

Now listen here #TheArchers, I'm normally a tolerant person, but I'm not up for a Christmas Carol inspired 'light relief' plot in which Justin sees the error of his ways. Not only will it be cringe-inducing, if Justin & Martyn stop being evil, there will be no point to either of them.

At the end of the day the only rule for written communication should be: Is what I've written clear and understandable? If it is not, grammar provides a useful and (generally) agreed-upon framework to make it so. Mind you, one may employ perfect grammar and still be confusing as fuck; even so.

As someone who grew up before the Honeycrisp changed the game, I think it's hard for younger folks to understand just how much the apple was kind of a garbage-tier fruit back in the day. It's so much better now. Article by @laurahelmuth.bsky.social: www.scientificamerican.com/article/appl...

Like many Twitter exiles to Bluesky, @mikemakowsky.bsky.social feels there’s something lacking. He voices my thoughts better than I could: https://buff.ly/3BQbqBX

I am *deeply* tired of the sort of gibbering thinkythunk who blithely posits that people who use social media don't live in the actual fucking world, and so must have a certain amount of tension and conflict in their feeds. Dealing with wearying shitbuckets is not virtuous. It just makes one tired.

Some good news this morning

What if we cut a deal and made Donald Trump the president of just the New York Times
