Alright, commencing a week of intense work, so I should really stay off this site. Try not to burn the world down while I'm gone, and maybe buy some books. Might I suggest the first of a dark high fantasy duology (book ii about 2/3 written now) The Wolf and the Wild King www.kvj.ca/wolf.html ...
Hey y’all, let’s keep this going. @gelidspace.bsky.social is a gem of a person and *the* voice of Claire and she deserves a safe living situation. Let’s all help get her closer to that goal. www.gofundme.com/f/help-emma-...
Still reading @anthonyryan.bsky.social 's Born of an Iron Storm; great epic fantasy following several characters through a mess of terror spreading over the north of the world; political tyrannies seizing hold, monstrous evils unleashed, and heroes who are going to save and change what they can.
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Straight jacket on standby, please.
Here’s a bonus episode of Better Offline. I talked to software engineer Colt Voege about how AI isn’t 10xing the productivity of software engineering, the truth about LLM coding, and what we can actually expect AI to do for software. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline
I know it’s been said before but if you wrote this as a movie it would be rejected outright for sheer implausibility.

Apropos of nothing: ‘Rise, like lions after slumber In unvanquishable number! Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you: Ye are many—they are few!’ - Percy Bysshe Shelley ‘The Masque of Anarchy’ 1819.

Good job too. I haven’t signed the Broken Binding copies yet.
Is that the Broken Binding edition?
Don’t vote for him or his twatty party. There, saved you five or six hundred words.
I said: DON’T have a cow.
When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.
me, age 15: conservatism seems like a fundamentally evil belief system me, age 21: actually it is more complicated than that, things are very complicated and everyone has their own way of seeing things. i am very smart me, age 3x: no i was right the first time nvm

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.
I recently received several awesome books from some outstanding authors, including @richardosman1.bsky.social @anthonyryan.bsky.social @kenfollettauthor.bsky.social @taeliensalaris.bsky.social @ryanqnorth.bsky.social and more. unseenlibrary.com/2025/09/17/b...

We need to come together more than ever right now. The divisive rhetoric of the far right is being used to foster fear and doubt. There is no 'them' vs 'us', there is only us! An inclusive and just society is something I will always continue to support and promote. Together we are stronger 💪
The bad news: Legacy media outlets in America are bowing to fascism. The good news: You have another reason to break free of the remakes, reboots and nostalgia porn they sell you. Support indie creators.
What did the Incredible Singing Sweet Potato sing as a closing number? ‘I Yam What I Yam.’ …… …. … .. . (Just trying to lighten the mood ffs…)

Take the fun out of a song: If you like piña coladas And getting caught in the rain… …then you’re risking hypothermia due to untreated alcohol addiction. Get help.
A primer on vaccine preventable illnesses from me, a pediatrician. Because we are about to find out some things.
Just going to remind you that if the police or any other law enforcement show up you should ABSOLUTELY say I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT i.e., then say nothing else except repeatedly demanding a lawyer.

Just say “yes, and” a lot and you’ll be fine.
It’s a classic.

I'm starting to think the Daleks had a point.
You wanna write? Here’s my perhaps off-the-beaten-path advice: go to the same pub regularly (or work there). Let the regulars talk to you. You’ll find out about people. After a couple pints they’ll show you their inner world like it was a new tattoo. And there’ll be stories too.
Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.
I believe him.

Ruin a song by adding the word "literally" to the title. Sweet Dreams are, literally, Made of This.
Let's go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over

There’s likely an organized campaign going on to incite you to say stuff that’s gonna get you suspended or banned (or worse). The right has mentioned the Bluesky reaction to this incident repeatedly. They’re here to find targets. Don’t let them rile you up and goad you into something you’ll regret.
*"Spot the Slop." These are some humorous tips here, but eventually those who don't generate slop images are gonna have slop imposed on them by the services *Like Apple "cleaning up" your iPhone snapshots whether you like it or not youtu.be/EyrlM5Qa5pw?...
Sorry, something else. Still think you’ll like it, tho.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.
Gotta love a salt hag in the morning.

Good. Hopefully he’ll slither back into the Stygian swamp from which he was summoned.
I feel like you all need a timeline cleanse about now. Have a good dose of sleepy Cuillin fluffy tummy.
I’m asking my friends in America to take extra special care right now. There are *a lot* of very disturbing videos and statements coming out of the US Far Right about seeking revenge on “liberals”.
Never seen him give a bad performance.
Alien Earth is so good - smart, scary, spot on visuals, and pin sharp dialogue. Mucho recommend. #AlienEarth
Well damn! I don't know what it is with 2nd books in a series but @misterkristoff.bsky.social 's Empire of the Damned just managed to make me love Aaron more than Gabriel. Just like @anthonyryan.bsky.social 's Tower Lord made me love Frentis over Vaelin. You guys know how to reach my dark heart! 😁🖤
Fuck Apartheid Clyde.
