a Black family dancing to korn with their astronaut relative who just got back from the moon is, quite frankly, the best thing the internet has ever produced

For a franchise with a pitching history as illustrious as the Twins, it’s hard to believe there were any pitching feats not previously accomplished. But Taj Bradley did something in the Twins' 4-2 los...

I know I reposted a different announcement, but I'm just so thrilled that Murderbot Season 2 casting has been announced (although I was kinda hoping that Kevin R Free could have reprised his role as ART - he's fantastic in the audiobooks!)! reactormag.com/murderbot-se...

Your first look at the #Murderbot season 2 cast. Aka, what I did on my summer non-vacation. #PremiumQualityEntertainment

So devastated to hear of the passing of Glen Hansard. His music was so important to me in a very fraught time in my life, and remained ever a solace after. (Plus, "Once" is perhaps the most perfect platonic romance movie of all time.)

Well, look who's on the cover of Locus' new issue? Congrats, @naomikritzer.bsky.social !

So many of the people who I admire describe her as their mentor. What a model. What generosity. What a giant.

Karen Clark died and I can’t even imagine a south Minneapolis where she isn’t there. She modeled what I still think an elected official should be like. Ever present in community. Door always open, never took herself too seriously, always used her role to fight for more people to get in the door.

I just realized that The Murderbot Diaries are MY Sanctuary Moon. When I feel overwhelmed and need to retreat to a safe place, I start up one of the audiobooks, and Kevin R. Free's narration of Martha Well's superlative stories allows me to recharge and reset. Realizing this made me smile.

Choral singing (singing in groups) is one of the most intensely human things we humans do. This is splendid.

Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com · 4mo ago

Well now here's something pretty spiffy. New out today from the New York Vocal Collective, a choral arrangement of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird." The first two and a half minutes are fine, but then it becomes…something else entirely. (You know the THX sound effect?) www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ot...

Happy Book Drop Day to @naomikritzer.bsky.social and her superlative new book, Obstetrix! I urge everyone to buy a copy now (from an independent bookstore, if possible). Minneapolis peeps, she has signed copies at Dreamhaven and @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

We’re not chasing trends or hot takes. We’re interested in the deeper current—the way speculative fiction reflects fear, power, love, resistance, and everything in between. This is a space for readers who stay with stories long after the last page. #fanzine #forceandfable

The entire budget request for the National Park Service in 2026 was about $2 billion. When any federal lawmaker ever tells you there isn’t enough money for something, they’re lying to you.

It's bitter out, the wind is blowing wet and biting.... but I've gotten used to sitting out on my porch after work and watching the world go by, dammit, so I'm gonna put on my winter coat, pull a hat over my ears, and sit out on my porch anyway. With an adult beverage. Take THAT Mother Nature.

Maybe the best thing... no, THE best thing about this Twins winning run, is that they are having SO. MUCH. FUN. And so are we.

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

Two weeks should be more than enough time to get the bastard out.

If you haven't seen "Project Hail Mary" yet, I strongly urge you to do so, in the theatre. Not only is it a wonderful movie which sticks pretty close to the book (which also is wonderful), but Andy Weir, the book's author, is a sweetheart of a guy who deserves to see his story played out so well.

@naomikritzer.bsky.social pointed me in the direction of this short story, and it made my heart melt. Take a few minutes if you need something affirming, and read this. "Hello! Hello! Hello!" by Fiona Jones. clarkesworldmagazine.com/jones_03_24/
