I keep telling the AI alignment people this too and somehow this makes them very mad

Nevertheless, a few things to keep in mind for new gardeners: Just because they sell it at the garden center DOES NOT mean it’s safe to plant it now. The big-box garden center does not care once the plant is out of their hands. If it freezes, it’s not their problem.

wait there's gonna be MULTIPLE books in this SERIES (yes i am just now getting round to watching the rest of the announcement stream)

jonny on the new Knock Thrice Magnus Archives merch: i cringe so hard wearing my own merch, i only do it for events or in a laundry crisis, and the highest praise i can give this jarchivist cardigan is that I wear it around the house lmaoooooooo

One time, this is true, a Jesus guy harassed me about Sin and Eternity while I was actively doing post-disaster mutual aid work. I asked why he didn't STFU and get helping and he said he WAS helping; it was more important to preach from his truck (which was covered with horrific homophobic [1/3]

Reminder for the first annual #LoonDay

“I have never kidded myself about Kansas,” writes Luke Babb. “There are parts of it I love, sure, in the way any kid loves the home where they grew up. But I was not yet out of high school before I knew that I was never going to come back.” wildhunt.org/2026/03/hest... #pagan #hestia #transrights

I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.

I've been wearing shorts for a month. 19 states rely on our snowmelt for their drinking water. We're currently at a 40-year low in snowpack.

just realized my brain thinks forks are boys and spoons are girls why is everything gender

fujoshi are a sign of fertile soil, like a parasol mushroom in your potting soil. when you see them, even where you may not expect one, you should be grateful for their presence. it is a fortuitous sign of growth to come, and an inspiring reminder of their resilience and adaptability.

The "internet of things" failed to deliver on it's most exciting promises mostly due to corporate resistance to interoperability. Alexa can't make a google calendar event, your light system is in a war with the system that controls the thermostat. Every company aimed for market dominance […]

The knife story: This was in my college apartment, which had tile floors in the hallway. The ferrets were out, and i was in my bedroom. I started hearing this weird, cyclical grinding sound - like "scrape... scrape... scrape..." coming down the hall towards me. So I lean out to look.

do you people have any idea how hard it is to be ethically non-monogamous and not into board games

The immense popularity of “Calvin and Hobbes,” often called “the last great newspaper comic,” can risk obscuring its many inspirations & antecedents. In both style & content, the strip is very well-versed in the rich history of comics and often pays tribute to its influences. 1/12 #CalvinAndHobbes

The term 'mysticism' is a difficult one to use in scholarly study of religion and the esoteric. It's important to clarify exactly which phenomena we mean, such as

autoerotic defoliation

This is murder. They keep doing this intentionally. People need to be prosecuted for this.

honestly the best accessible example of interacting with other stories in a distinctly christian way is that thing where it became popular online in the 2010s to claim that there was some totally unverifiable “original version” of various myths where things were more progressive

Side project: finally extracted my MA Ice Cream Shop list (not just the review subset, the 512 entries for the "ice cream compass" project) as names and lat/lon, instead of google "cid" refs.

In short, there is a *lot* of ruin in a country. While a bloody nose can convince an imperial power to give up an imperial venture, it takes spectacular amounts of pressure to get a country to buckle if it things the state's entire existence is at risk. Or you can invade. 🤷‍♂️

This is a good question to address, actually. There's often an intuitive assumption that when a country runs out of money, its war effort will grind to a halt. That's how households and (sometimes) companies work. But those assumptions are really frequently frustrated - countries can push on.

Seriously, this is a great episode and I'm going to liberally borrow -- with attribution! -- from it for the introductory lecture next time I teach History of Magic. (Also, if you are not already listening to the Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast, you should be.)
