Jake pointing at the window of WKCO, his college radio station.
This just popped up in my photo memories. Three years ago I returned to my alma mater, Kenyon College, for a visit. Here I am at the college station that laid the foundation for my crazy music career: WKCO.
I think Equinoxe is better than Oxygene. I said what I said.

you're writing about something that matters a lot, that usually gets talked about in phony government/business/needs analyst "newsspeak"--not in real language like this--or like this when you're carefree and say what you mean. When you do it's terrific.

Thank you, Ursula. You were amazing.
Say a thing once, and move on; don't keep circling. It's got a good shape as a whole, and what I like (a lot) is the straightforward strong feeling. (2/3)
Was feeling down and re-read a story critique Ursula K. Le Guin gave me when I was 18:
The language is pretty lax and repetitive. Try to make every word count--and *listen* to your sentences--write it like you're *telling* it, without cliche phrases. 1/3
Big big CONGRATULATIONS!!! To the Nebula Awards Finalists!

Nice to see The Scum Kings podcast is back.
My shitpost king.
Nice. @talkwordy.bsky.social is on the front page of Reddit. AGAIN.
A lot of enterprise code is being written by AI these days. It will be interesting if that’s now considered open source.

Pro-Adam and Pro-Larry fans in shambles.
Great! Older. Not much wiser. But still having fun! ☺️
I haven't seen anything like this in 30+ years in Texas: Went to vote in the primaries, and the line for the Democratic primary was 75x as long as the few Republicans that were bothering to vote in their primary.
Folks at @boskone.bsky.social tomorrow: at 6:30 in Independence, I'll be reading my short story "Excerpts from the Unauthorized Autobiography of Benjamin Brick", recently of @morningtransport.bsky.social
It's one of my favorites, and links nicely with the Saturday panel on brains in jars...
Mine was Star Wars. Nothing since then has approached the absolute awe of watching the Star destroyer in the opening scene just get bigger and bigger and bigger. I can’t explain just how mind-blowing that actually was for me.

While I have the resources to leave, that’s exactly why I’m staying. I feel so many vulnerable people don’t have privilege and can’t leave when *they* need to escape more than I do. It’s important for them to have people with privilege staying to stand with them.
Congratulations!!! What an extraordinary and epic run! You left the book world a better place than you found it, and I’m grateful for that. Now that you’re retired let’s start up Mishap again. I’ll track down a mimeograph machine!
In honor of then-dog Betty Boop's first appearance entering the public domain, here's a novelette about how she became a human.

Hey all, for the first time in over two years, we took a short break on The Thieves Guild. The podcast will be back on Monday. I know, THREE DAYS OFF! We're clearly slacking.
Sad news. Such a great songwriter and an amazing vocalist.
Oh no! He was so under appreciated. “Texas, “Road to Hell,” … so many great songs and such a compelling voice.
Tonight! Come hang out in the live chat and play along to see if you can beat us.
