I absolutely don't want to hear the age-old "not all men" from cis men right now (the sentiment is better demonstrated by having conversations about healthy vs toxic masculinity etc.)
BUT I do find it an important phrase for me to remind myself I'm safe enough. AND important to pass onto my girls.
Stage managers. What you’re looking for is stage managers
Making a 40K Chaos playlist but it's just Gary Numan's "My Name is Ruin" on repeat
The emotional processing parts of our brain are fundamental to reasoning. When they get damaged, people can’t do basic logic.
Emotion is not counter to reason.
Like anything else—pain, multiple streams of information, noise—it can *distract* you, but that’s different.
Thread.

Chez L-K welcomed a new addition to our household over the weekend.
This is Chaz and he's the sweetest, softest boi.
The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.
"What if the most powerful man on Earth was kind" is such a banger concept. Jerry and Joe were really cooking in 1938.
I think I'll jump on this bandwagon! Five short stories and a novel that I love:
"The Dreaming in Nortown," Thomas Ligotti
"Angels in Love," Kathe Koja
"Mother of Stone," John Langan
"The Braille Encyclopedia," Grant Morrison
"In the Hills, the Cities," Clive Barker
Experimental Film, Gemma Files
"The Swords" is such an incredible dose of high-octane WTF concentrate. Aickman really had the juice.

Up late writing. Bad people running into worse...things. First time in a long, long time.
Every time I thought House was going to do something truly interesting with that character, the world rearranged itself to comport with the protag's dumb prejudices. The Asshole Supergenius Who is Always Right trope could not die soon enough.
This discourse rolls around every six months and I'm always happy to chime in: ELEMENTARY is a great TV show qua TV show and best modern interpretation of Holmes, including that one you're thinking of, which was more of one dude's intermittent hobby, which also somehow turned into CRIME DR. WHO.
Right-wing men are the most submissive, deferential creatures on earth. Crawling, power-worshipping cucks, one and all.
Why do I get the feeling there's a bunch of people about to learn something very important about Alexandre Dumas.
Reminder that there is empirical research to prove the “when the person speaking was 12” point. It’s called Reminiscence Bump and it’s literally from ages 12-14. psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-...
I had not though about how our terrible, floppy ideas of realism at the tabletop echo out into the broader world, beyond a general understanding that anyone saying they’re “being realistic” is lying to SOMEONE.
But now I have, and it sucks.

A talented friend has cast three of my Early Medieval animal drawings into bronze pendants—soon to be available in other metals, and as lapel pins. For sale right now on Etsy. They are pretty cool...
I suspect there's a flavor of neurospicy fan/creator deeply bothered when not everything is explained and who aims to fix that in their own work, and I Get It but no
Everything is Scary returns with a tribute to Damian Mc Carthy's Caveat and Oddity. He's my favourite filmmaker in the genre right now and I'm excited to see his immobile horror in Hokum this spring.

Mamdani understands what Trump does: break a taboo and it stays broken. It’s nice seeing that principle being applied to stuff that doesn’t fucking suck.
