I noticed that "Epstein controversy" is trending and I am unaware of any controversy. What he was doing was bad. Glad I could help solve that.

Thought for the day: It never ceases to amaze me how today's techbros' vision of the future they want defaults to fully automated leopard-face-chomping neo-feudalism rather than fully automated luxury gay space communism.

Remember, both the Iliad and the Odyssey were originally audiobooks.

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

On the topic of sunflowers, perhaps the best photo I've ever taken.

I love that I get to spend an entire Saturday reading.

I've heard of exactly zero candidates running to "Make Cthulhu Great Again" and that really says a lot about a nation and its people.

Re-enchantment IS resistance. Populist nostalgia is made entirely of boring tired memetics. Take it all back.

342 words (4211 total) on "Boundstone: A Hookland Tale" -- a story about murder, time travel, and redemption in the ghostly English town of Boundstone deep within #Hookland county in the late summers of both 924 & 1975. Watch out for self-organizing gnostic satellites! #DailyWords #amwriting

Tiny peek at draft one of my novel:

At this rate, the 2030 World Cup will not only have hydration breaks, but also oxygen breaks. Maybe even firefighting breaks, too.

Currently finishing off a fun short story collection from my friend @mattkelland.bsky.social #Booksky📚💙 mattkelland.com/fiction

I'm being told that there are posts requesting no spoilers on... The Odyssey 🫠

Whoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂

But also: Escape Aids, Hearing Rooms, Power Aids, Hearing Yoga, Power Rooms, and Escape Yoga.

Look what just arrived from over the dark sea

The thing about working on two writing projects at once is that my subconscious mind seems to definitively decide which one I'm focused on thinking through at any given moment. #amwriting

Going back in time to a 1967 classic. #Booksky📚💙

Can anyone recommend other reliable global OSINT channels such as @shipwreck75.bsky.social?

Nowadays I bet he'd have a well funded AI startup.

Who among us hasn't dabbled in a bit of "cheese based prophecy"?

Anyone here also using StoryGraph? #Booksky 📚💙 app.thestorygraph.com/profile/swad...

I had a dream last night that all Midsommer Murders took place in #Hookland. There's no reason they couldn't be...

Next up is @doctorow.pluralistic.net's latest #Booksky📚💙

"Hookland, an imaginary English county, explores psychogeography, folklore, and 1970s British strangeness, often through a fictional travel guide, restoring mystery to landscape."

New quest for time travelers just dropped

Best line in ST:TNG? Worf: "Sir, I protest. I am not a merry man."

Going down a very curious #Hookland rabbit hole. Might a new project be emerging from the depths? #amwriting

This is an amazing analogy

This is pretty wild to think about. Possible fodder for a future story.

Jumping into a new book #Booksky 📚💙

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said, "In between the time the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there existed an age undreamed of, and unto this, Conan, destined to wear a jeweled crown upon a troubled brow, it is I his chronicler who alone ca

> "Left" and "right" have had the same meaning since the French Revolution. If you want to know if someone is on the left or the right, ask them, "What is more important: human rights or property rights?" If they say "Property rights are a human right," then they are on the right. 18/

You’re not struggling to buy basic items as wages fail to keep up with inflation. You’re “finding joy” by buying smaller things.

Worried about how this new Islamic Republic of Japan will affect my publisher there.

lol

Still grumbling feel that if your ttrpg advertises a ‘medieval world’ then it should be less ‘riding a dragon over a flying island to fight demon hordes’ and more ‘knowing when the feast day of your guild’s patron saint is.’

Certainly something to keep in mind.

I'm really glad that nobody has asked me "how do you do?" because I have absolutely no idea.

I'm becoming of the opinion that poker is 50% math, 40% offense, and 10% defense.

If you’d read this in a sci-fi novel, it would be perfect. “July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the nation. The capital grounds are empty, the crumbling remains of a despot’s carnival baking under the heat and haze. The toxic air above is shifted by nothing save the passes of military jets.”

I often read about Stockholm syndrome being a real thing and it's not. In 1973 hostages in a bank robbery simply thought that the police were being too callous and reckless with regard to their lives and found that siding with the hostage takers was a safer bet for their survival. That's it.

THE TIME OF THE IMAGE IS ENDED... THE AGE OF TEXTPOSTERS IS NOW
