This is also how my eyes look when I watch people play a game.

Cool zine by @jonegreaves.bsky.social. Just wish these eyes weren't showing up whenever I close my own.

Squire malnutrition points to more systemic issues. Sounds like you’re not attending enough feasts.

Always walking around the cafe jiggling the tables to test stability before I select a spot to nest. One place is so bad I’m considering showing up in a hi-viz vest and some tools to do some fixes.

Talking loudly on my phone in the cafe: It’ll be called 9/11: The Movie!

Suddenly whispering as I realize the idea has legs: It’s a stealth sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan.

If my paper source sold A-format reams I’d do some serious reworks.

CZF will be back on Saturday October 10th!! We're thrilled to be returning to the Winter Garden in the Harold Washington Library Center, thanks to the generous partnership of @chipublib.bsky.social!

Using LIDAR to hunt gnomes

Donald was practically vibrating when we left Cluely. “Dude, he’s just a scared little boy,” he said. “He’s scared he’s not doing the right thing, and because of the fucked-up world we live in, people who should be in The Hague are giving him twenty million dollars. Something bad is gonna happen here, something really fucking bad is gonna happen.” He sighed. “I just want Zohran’s nonbinary praetorians to march across the country and put all these guys in cuffs.” I found it hard to disagree. It did not seem like a good idea to me that some of the richest people in the world were no longer rewarding people for having any particular skills, but simply for having agency, when agency essentially meant whatever it was that was afflicting Roy Lee. Unlike Eric Zhu or Donald Boat,

Understand that even the crudest artificial imitation of my character would stop at nothing to kill its creator

that seems like a good exchange for being really good at something

Not sure what I’m rebelling against by disabling auto correct on my phone, but it certainly feels like a return to fundamentals.

Now we’re cooking.

What’s one of your favorite book reviews? I would like to read it.

Digital I have no idea. I’m in the strange zine ecosystem.

Wish I was close to the pyramids.

I had always assumed the iconic aftershave scene in Home Alone was a riff on Bateman’s morning routine, but Home Alone predates the American Psycho novel by about a year. I am cursed to ponder this whenever either are mentioned.

no one knows what's in the Melania movie. and no one ever will. lost media currently playing in theaters

I suspected Authority was coming from a place of experience but damn.
