Wikipedia remains one of the most useful things online. No subscription fees, no ads, no stupid pursuit of AI, all curated by relentless nerds. Maybe remember to throw them a few bucks every now and again.

They're going to ask me how I want my haircut and as usual my only answer will be "not like this." Taking suggestions for the next 10-15 minutes.
Wow, a lot of friends here!

If you live in or around Martinez, California, please keep a lookout for Mike’s lost cat.
Mike Jung@mikejungwroteabook.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot
I wrote this thing so now I actually have to read this thing. Ugh.
Maybe it’s just the algorithms influencing my thinking, but drawstring pants are making more and more sense.
If you like odysseys, maybe check out my short story, "Far as You Can Go," about a lad and a broken robot crossing a strange post-apocalyptic landscape in search of something better. (Cover created by human, Jenn Reese.) Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... Amazon: www.amazon.com/Far-As-You-C...

Hey, don't reward these disgusting, rotten, thieving, stinking, unethical, amoral buttheads.

The little broken pot represents my feelings about this draft.
My main takeaway from Comic-Con is write what you want to write. There’s no point writing anything else.
Is there a point and shoot where you're a cephalopod and you just squirt ink at shit? Because I would play that.
Just watched “The Outlaw Josie Wales” for the first time and didn’t know the plot was man with gun starts commune.
Writing advice: Don’t take writing advice from people who don’t know what they’re talk about. I know enough to know when I know what I’m talking about and when I don’t.
DO SCIENCE AT COMIC-CON
Lisa Will@dustchick.bsky.social · 3w agoHope to see you at Mission Control, an Immersive STEAM Experience at Comic-Con. I'll be at the Astrophysics Station next Thursday from 11AM-3PM. Join us for some interactive science appropriate for all ages. We'll be at the Marriott Marquis Marina, Del Mar Room in the South Tower. #SDCC2026 #SDCC
Johannes Cheeseburger, which is definitely a catcher's name.
Elizabeth Bear@matociquala.bsky.social · 3w agoyour baseball pitcher name is your grandfather’s first name and the last thing you bought I'm Hank Scootboots
I have to stop joking with doctors about my vestigial twin because one day they'll find them and decide they have rights.
Yesterday I was called a hard stick which would be a cool nickname except I was getting blood drawn.
Nobody gets to see my early drafts and development notes except for trusted readers and collaborators. That’s just not happening.

I had a procedure this morning with general anesthetic and the last thing I remember before going under is the nurse saying, "Did I break it?"
I don't know this dog but they're my new best friend at the coffee shop.
