I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Day 4 of Nibiru on Kickstarter!

The Skyless World is a megastructure of unknown origin, where the beating heart of the Core and its artificial gravity exert influence over its steel expanse - thoroughly shaping its autochthonous, bioelectric lifeforms.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Now that the world has been shaped in their image, conservatives and their « pick me » allies must finally be happy, blooming and doing all kinds of inspiring projects right? They must all be doing so well emotionally and self realizing in beautiful ways, living their best life.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Riker and Geordi, in uniforms red and gold, meet at a Enterprise corridor intersection. Riker is *very* tall. You don't always see it, but here facing and compared to Geordi, sheesh he's a tall drink of water. Anyways, his hair's a bit messy. Closed caption reads, "I'm having trouble waking up."

I am selling a VTM dice pendant but I rather it going to someone who is going to love and cherish it.
It's made of silver by a Spanish jeweller. Kept in a box for years.
May need some polishing but overall good condition.

can think of at least 50 artists who, if you gave them each even like 100 thousand dollars, it would absolutely change the culture we live in for the better. 5 million is pocket change in the scheme of things. but we have to live in a world where all of that capital is wasted on bullshit like this.

Oh dang.

Well shit. Got me.

I saw the colour and was instantly “Poison book!” before I read the text.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”
