ILLEGAL, BUT NOT FORBIDDEN: The Vizier. If the vizier is adjacent to its king, flip a coin. On heads, remove the Vizier from the board, damage it beyond recognizability, and dispose of it in a suitably ignominious manner.

i thought the "millennial" colours had a few subtypes, in chronological order: - terra cotta, rose gold, succulents - health goth/bisexual lightning - set of Knives Out

I’m not giving up hope. If The Odyssey makes a gajillion dollars there’s still a chance we can get Nolan to make a The Iliad where Priam intones “Our bicameral mind is breaking down” and Achilles replies “But perhaps this will be the origins of consciousness”

they cancelled my show tonight for some reason. anyway shout out to the lady who has been smoking in the parking lot behind my apt for the last two hours

"This is not dream logic, not surrealism nor magic realism. This is not the old weird or the new... Even the unbroken worlds are fragile, anxious, surveilled, itchy" #10YearsAgo @vajra.me on Kuzhali Manickavel strangehorizons.com/wordpress/no...

This is my favorite reply of the day but you gotta click through for context

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke v1.3: Fixed a case where an area was inaccessible in the volcano dungeon

Thank god there are no gender studies classes anymore otherwise we might be able to figure out what's going on here.

Five years ago today (it was actually yesterday but who's counting), the very first episode of Neurocracy saw the light of day! To commemorate this occasion, I'm overjoyed to present the first of three new stories on omnipedia.app, coming from @baroness.bsky.social: omnipedia.app/wiki/2049/10...

the zookeepers went trophy hunting.

kind of a weird tangent but the best myths are about people who are colossal fuckups. why do we like arthurian legends? because every one of those people self-owns constantly

The game is out NOW! Go play it, and please consider giving us a steam review if you like it. It's the best way for the game to get visibility.

i think you could quite successfully round up groups of sad dudes and enlist them to stomp on as many spotted lanternflies as possible

BTW, this is the thing that people used to call "hysteria." i assume that people thought it's "women be crazy" disease because it's associated with hypermobility. there's a real in the literature for someone who can write FND as a feminist issue. somebody smart should do that.

for friends of the show: there's interesting theorizing rn about how my Agonies/Perfect Brain Syndrome/functional neurological disorder might work: there's a framework called predictive coding for understanding mobility and perception--and mobility and perception are sort of the same thing(!).

all men want is more warehouses

first impressions: pathologic 3 is incredible. tense, gorgeous, deeply weird, horrifying, and insanely funny.

where has all the espresso and tonic gone. did it all get replaced by strawberry matcha.

I end up digging up some crazy things while doing research at my job. this is from International News, v.1, #52, 1919.

i have to wear men's XL hats and they still look terrible on me. my troglodyte complexion combined with a head that is too big for hats means that I have to carry a stupid umbrella in the summer if I don't want to look like a jack o' lantern left out 'til Remembrance Day by the time I hit 40

the black triptych

this all just makes me so fucking sick. "a bloo bloo he has ptsd" cool story man. hey you'll never guess which psychological disorder is commonly caused by getting raped

one of the things that makes me feel insane about the Platner discourse is that not only is it, as @moiradonegan.bsky.social correctly notes, a referendum on whether or not rape is a big deal, but that his defenders are saying that I should expect him to take women's interests seriously.

Doug Ford's government has rewritten so many of Ontario's environmental laws since winning the 2025 election that it can be hard to keep track of all the changes. Here's our comprehensive guide to Ontario's environment under Ford's third majority: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-elec...

sometimes I play a game with my friends where I ask them what their evil twin/darkest timeline* self would be. i mention this bc I just had the shower epiphany that I would become a third-rate Joan Didion so anyway folks what is Evil You like?

The number of scientists who post worthless slop like this (used to explain a paper about Alzheimer's research) to illustrate their tweets is just embarassing. We are adults. We do not need your hideous slop. We do not need picture books.
