I can’t go on with this. I read the plot on the Wiki and it sounds great. Just don’t think it needs to be 600 pp. Meanwhile, reading NEUROMANCER for the first time and it’s so perfectly poetic & sharp & cold. Like swallowing a satisfying razor made of pure light.

Our bill has gone up almost 150% from last year and that’s definitely not just from the AC. Statewide moratorium now.
Sen. Danica Roem@pwcdanica.bsky.social · 2d agoEven when you do your part to lower your own electricity use, your energy bill in Virginia keeps rising while Dominion and the data center industry keep profiting. It’s corporate greed run amok. End the data center sales tax exemption + enact a statewide moratorium. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
I'm not going to repost the video of Ohio rep. Max Miller explaining how he's not an abuser by using an example of how victims placate their abusers to stay safe, but rest assured I think he's a fucking piece of shit abuser who should probably be in jail and not in the House of Representatives
Ohio? Stop saying "something should be done about this" and get your butts to Blue Ash and spotlight this cruel and unusual treatment by DHS. www.wyso.org/news/2026-07...

I am concerned about C.J. Cherryh, who lives in Spokane WA. I am no longer on Facebook and do not have her personal contact information. Can anyone confirm that she and her partner are safe from the Old Trails Fire?

Current read: Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang by Kate Wilhelm. Enjoying it a lot so far. Also, I can't believe this was written in 1976, it could have been written today. #booksky 📚

Kyle Winkler@bleakhousing.bsky.social · 7d agoYeah yeah Neuromancer… What about Bolognamancer?
Read #31 of 2026 The Ship of Death by Kyle Winkler First intrigued and then absorbed by this found document novel about an addicting, reality melting table top RPG. Vivid and pitch perfect, I had a great time on The Ship of Death. It should definitely be on your radar when it drops this September.
