💥 In Donetsk region, birds are building nests from drone fiber optics.

I finally went and got actual allergy testing after finding out easy tests exist for that now, and the results were mostly unsurprising... cats, dust mites, some mild allergy to some plant pollens. The one surprisingly result is that I am apparently allergic to horses!

Maybe controversial opinion: bird call identification apps should just include frog calls too.

Sourdough disaster!

Greg Egan will always have a place in my heart (Diaspora and Axiomatic were formative reads for me as a teen) but I will admit to fast-forwarding through the math problems in his latest story on the Clarkesworld podcast after like the third dense section of advanced math puzzle description. Oof.

A lot of things about “BookTok” fall into perspective when you realize that many “book influencers” do not actually read books.

The ongoing saga of Will Stancil discovering the psychotic toxicity of leftist poster-activists from first principles. 🍿

This isn’t happening. I am not sending “waves of followers” after anyone, and even when my followers do reply to someone, it isn’t for “bigoted harassment.” This is something you guys have invented as a permission structure to do the exact things you accuse me and others of.
