It is also useful when you are trying to explain a door to someone.

“Big. Head.”

Gross.

Don’t some hat guy coin a nearly relevant law about goats?

Dragons of Deceit by Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman return to the unforgettable world of the New York Times bestselli...

They put out a new trilogy involving most of the original characters (timey-wimey magic nonsense) over the last few years. It’s a fairly good nostalgia hit!

I would not call that a second season any more than I would Agatha All Along. Different premise, different showrunner. And, in the spirit of the article, Marvel moving onto what’s canonically “next” is business-as-usual. It’s a fair point that most of Marvel’s own live action series are one-and-done

WandaVision very notably did not get a season 2.

I also enjoyed this one. At arm’s length, just seeing this book makes you go, “Yeah, man, I bet that production was wild.” Reading it only confirms one’s suspicions.
Worth noting that Kyle is here amongst us on Bluesky (though I’ll not snitch-tag for courtesy’s sake).

I have literally seen professors put a code word in the middle of the syllabus and said, “If you email me this phrase before midterms, you get this much extra credit.”

Oh neat, a way to see all the game devs you’ve supported with no strings attached!

1. Saturn has the hexagon, not Jupiter.
2. That is an octogon, made by AI.

I miss Bruges.

In which an idiom is discussed

Underdog Coffee and Bread out in VA is expanding, though I don’t know they have any aspirations to move into the city yet. The Carlin Springs location will be their second. I hope you get a good shop moving in soon!

Freaking nailed it, dude!

Two miniatures from star wars legion. Din Jarin shooting from the hip and Grogu chomping a frog.

My first attempt at doing Non-metallic metals. I don't know if I really got close to the intended 'illusion' but I still like how it turned out.

Just released a new album

A screenshot demonstrating that Hardspace: Shipbreaker is indeed in the my9games dot com catalog.

It does. You need to type in the full name sometimes because it doesn’t find it on a seemingly likely partial search like “hardspace”.

Florida’s got swamps. Bogs tend to be northern.

If you’d like to build out your own grid, you can do so at my9games.com

A 3x3 grid of video game covers which provide a little insight into the poster’s personality and preferences. The games are: 1. Maniac Mansion (1988) 2. Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997) 3. Alan Wake 2 (2023) 4. Opus Magnum (2017) 5. Chrono Trigger (1995) 6. Freelancer (2003) 7. Death Stranding (2019) 8. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1998) 9. Outer Wilds (2019)

Decided to play along with #My9Games.

These would make for a killer Pirate Borg game!

I remember the big survey of Eagle Scouts and Scoutmasters they did some years back and, if I’m not misremembering, the outcome of that was that gay scouts would be allowed but there was no change to the prohibition on leaders. I’m glad they’ve continued making progress in that front!

Yep. It’s this. A major factor in Mormon troops leaving was the relaxing of some of the most regressive policies to boot gay youth. (IIRC the policy to bar LGBT leadership has endured, but you probably have better insight than me, an Eagle Scout who has not returned as an adult because of all this.)

People miss that the risk of doing that vastly exceeds any benefit. One whistleblower leads to a lawsuit, probably as a class action, which means discovery, which turns up two sets of books. Now they’re looking at significant civil damages as well as individual executive criminal liability.

The Emperor’s Soul is probably my favorite of Sanderson’s novellas. It’s excellent on its own footing but it’s also one of the more significant pieces of larger Cosmere tapestry without bothering to announce itself as such.

That’s Keigo Higashino, not Keith. Autocorrect did a number on the name.

Eric Kolb’s February 2026 reads from The Story Graph: Twelve Months by Jim Butcher (4 stars) Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson (3.5 stars) Automatic Noodle by Annaleee Newitz (4 stars) Starling House by Alix E. Harrow (4 stars) The Flipper Zero Bible by Gareth Holbrook (3 stars)

Caught up with my pace for my annual goal in February. This doesn’t reflect one DNF: The Final Curtain by Keith Higashino. #BookSky

I’m not sure that “sometimes it’s not insider trading” is a compelling rejection of the supposition that it is an insider trading platform.
