I don't think I ever went to CS as a kid (I recall going to Neutral Ground once or twice), but I went once recently and even though it was my first time, it was clear that the store hasn't changed. (I picked up a Feng Shui book I needed for my collection -- and got a handwritten receipt.)
This bundle of anthologies edited by @datlow.bsky.social is an absolute treasure trove. Includes many volumes co-edited with @terriwindling.bsky.social. Grabbing this just to fill in some gaps in my own collection! www.humblebundle.com/books/best-e...
Doesn’t seem like coincidence that this is happening during Passover, when we retell the story of the 10 plagues, no. 9 of which is “darkness.”
Hard for me to hear “darkness” and not fill in the next: “slaying of the first born” — the plague that killed someone in every house that wasn’t marked.
MOST EARNED IT
Minneapolis
MOST SYMBOLICALLY CORRECT
Philly
MOST DEVASTATING TO TRUMP
New York
FUNNIEST
Miami
The “he’s Hitler” people looking a fuck ton smarter than the “don’t be ridiculous he’s not Hitler” people.
Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia
@galegalligan.bsky.social my 9yo and I just finished Fresh Start and wanted to say we loved it! (Actually kiddo and mom finished the book the other day, and I had to read the last few chapters solo just to see how it turned out.)
Relieved by the end of that sentence!
But also what video store back then ANd have you been to We Luv Video's new space?
Decades ago, I laughed at something he said in re: Switchblade Sisters in some special feature (something about the language) and then they showed a clip from the movie (which we had just watched), and I remember thinking, "damnit, he's right."
Seeing ICE detaining people at airports is so sickening and so are the details about the LGA plane crash. Just a fraction of the money they’re using to brutalize families could be spent on rehiring air traffic controllers, who they fired so they could brutalize more people
what sort of car charging setup you like these days?
I put Lewis and Ray Bradbury into a category of "people who are good writers and have no right to be!"
If only hobbies and affinity groups existed for men!
A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

A picture of a cute dog from one post followed by a post from a different user exhorting people to "seek and enjoy beautiful things"
nice synchronicity of posts
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
"Epstein vibes" is or will be how the GOP talks about Jews in general, especially if their names are too ambiguous to immediately identify.
It is pretty telling that it comes as something of a surprise that the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution over Trump.
We cannibals must help these Christians.
Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance
I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.
"I've never protested before in my entire life, but, uh [chokes up, apologizes], I watched fourth and fifth grade kids run away from our own government. I never want to see that again."
This is the only reporting I see about it, so I'm looking for confirmation.
@jessethorn.bsky.social Have you heard about the new Concrete comic book? www.superherohype.com/comics/65227...
“Bro, check out this fountain pen I just got.“
Ti'n bron ddwy fil o flynyddoedd yn rhy hwyr i ddechrau cwyno am hyn, gwboi.
Bondi is from Le Guin's often unread story, "The Ones who run really fast to get to Omelas and then decide that more children need to be tortured."
I read The Worst Robin with my kid after hearing (I think) @jordanmorris.bsky.social talk it up. We liked it! (My kid was 6 or 7 at the time, so we might revisit it.)
