There's a certain dark pleasure writing a story where there are bad guys, and a human-eating monster, and a wronged MC who is perfectly willing to get the bad guys eaten.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Holy shit this is such a good one

Always repost Year Without Sunshine. I think about it all the time

Can one careen while also being formless? Absolutely

Of all the things he couldn't keep his trap shut about, this wasn't one of them???

Pretending library workers are superhuman leads to exploitation, by management and by external forces. It leads to burnout, high turnover, diminishing services to the patrons.

Yes, please show your support! Just treat library workers like human beings while you do it.

In the US, it’s National Library Workers’ Day, and I would be remiss to let it pass without reminding you that the “library workers are magic” narrative leads bad places. Love, respect, and cherish them, but also pay them, staff libraries appropriately, and let them draw boundaries.

The way est Dems and adjacent folks keep expecting us to be, not just happy about, but obsequiously and uncritically grateful for, what amount to moldy ass crumbs is just...no. Just no.

Went for a walk and a pint and spotted the best example of free will I've ever seen

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

A dropdown menu presenting options for different ICE detention data-points to overlay on a map visualizer.

A map of the United States, covered in multi-colored placemarkers. Each dot on the map represents an ICE field office, detention center, check-in office, or proposed warehouse.

The question we get asked the most? "Why doesn't your tracker list existing ICE facilities?" Short answer: it does!

Use the dropdown above the map to see hold rooms, field offices, detention centers, and more. Best viewed on a desk/laptop. This data helps visualize the scope of ICE's jail network.

The cyberattack on The British Library in October 2023 knocked out ebooks and almost ever other computer thing there for years.

Ebooks just came back. They were knocked out everywhere using the BL’s license (legal deposit libraries I think? More libraries?)

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Reminder that in classic vampire folklore, both Slavic and Greek, vampires were chubby and red-faced, not thin and pale.

The thin, pale vampire arose literally overnight from a tuberculosis outbreak in New England

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

I've told my family to stay away.

Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙
