Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be extracting atmospheric dust, nutrients, and moisture using specialized microscopic hairs called trichomes.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. In the beginning, there was no fire, and the world was cold, until the Thunders, who lived up in the great

Tales of the Buddha - Before He Got Enlightened by Alan Grant, Jon Haward, and Jamie Grant is a collection of one page gag comics featuring a young, pre-enlightened Buddha and various other religious figures (and Daleks) trying in vain to tell everyone else they don't have to live like they do.

I have been thinking about doing a Robert E. Howard Encyclopedia. Y'know, as a hobby project. Maybe for 2028.

I literally just do a podcast about music history, and I still actually read the books I'm referencing, cite only books I've read, and use only actually existing publicly-accessible sources. It is *shocking* that I have more academic rigour than, apparently, a huge number of actual academics.

Today is the birthday of writer Gardner Fox (May 20, 1911-Dec. 23, 1986). Cocreator of the original Flash, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Starman, Sandman, the Justice Society of America, Zatanna, Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), the Justice League of America, & more.

Very funny that these guys fallback objection is violation of institutional norms. Suddenly, these are a top tier concern in Florida higher education.

The pulps, as they were, aren't coming back. Economic and social conditions contrived to make them the ideal cheap entertainment media for a very literate and literary-hungry class of readers. You can't get the circulation today that you did then, which is why a lot of contemporary magazines like

oh lord I did not realize Granta put out a statement that literally says "We showed Claude the story and asked if it was AI and it said yeah but also maybe no." See also very much this: bsky.app/profile/robe...

It depends on how you define "fake Necronomicon." Frank Belknap Long, Jr. was the first to mention the Necronomicon outside of Lovecraft (“The Were-Snake” (1925)). And shortly after HPL's death people outside the circle began making up quotes (Knob Noster (Kansas) Gem, 18 Nov 1937).

WHO GAVE GROVER THE MOLOTOV?

I mean... Christmas is still coming, technically.

I received a call for illustrators from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. They're looking for someone to draw 5 realistic, color illustrations about lives of free and enslaved Africans and African Americans in New York State during 17th-19thc.

who knows what'll happen with approps pants on head land, but HASC and SASC dems are legitimately pissed off in a way they haven't been since at least the mid 2000s

My sister and I were swapping Wodehouse quotes on whatsapp and I came across this gem: 'A melancholy-looking man, he had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle.'

A spammer collective is now hitting the archive hard enough that I am killing, say, 24,000 items of spam and when the process finishes, there are 25,000 items of spam. It's really bad. Steps are being taken, but when people go "this seems slow" it's like.. you think? The internet has become HOSTILE

THE WonderFOOLS is what happens when Korean TV makers seize GENERATION V and have it remade by the team behind I LOVE LUCY. It’s sort of delightful, and much more PG-rated. Some brilliant slapstick.

Pick Bond from pics on phone already.

Funny things still happen over at the bad place This guy put a prompt in his LinkedIn and now AI recruiters are writing him in Old English and calling him "my lord"

I haven't listened to this record for ages and glad it has a nice reissue. I liked a lot of the music from that little psych-folk scene that happened for a bit in the early 00s. This was always my favourite one from this LP. circuitryrecordings.bandcamp.com/track/lady-m...

Outgoing #NewCollegeOfFlorida student president had some things to say to the trustees at her last meeting as student rep. Interesting to watch their faces, esp. when she calls out op-ed writers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMIK....

In college, I remember earning cash as a product tester for, like, mouthwash companies and whatever else. Sitting around all day, breathing into a tube, collect ~$50. An older lady in our group told us when she was in college in NYC the 1930s, school was free, like high school. Stuck with me.

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

There is actual learning still taking place at #NewCollegeOfFlorida, and students writing interesting theses in order to graduate. But it's all taking place under a blanket of this sort of balderdash now.... nathanallen140396.substack.com/p/new-colleg...

There are also post-Morten’s of Florida electoral politics following 2018 that reach the same conclusion. I’m not sure “consultants” and “donor concerns” are 100% overlapping in their chosen strategies, but it seems really close to it from out here in the cheap seats.

my favorite thing about this project is remembering, as I made it, that you can literally just do whatever. you don't need to build a site that includes ads, an algorithmic whatever, or an AI chatbot. you can just make something sweet and cool and unleash it on the public just for funzies!!!

Took me more than a week to get through this, but it is very worth it. Having lots of thoughts, not all of them dark. (But many of them, yes.) There was a talk he gave at Bard on how to succeed as a writer in 2023 that makes a very interesting parallel text - the hard-nosed businessman emerging.

Hello everybody, I want to believe just as much as anybody else does but I really need to tell you that in my 10+ years of experience as a disinformation expert, the only reason UFO shit gets put out by the government is to distract you from other really bad things
