(I wish to reiterate the worldcon itself was fine. My reasons for disliking it are entirely personal. Thanks for being so welcoming, LACon!)

Well that was the worst worldcon ever. (Nothing due to the LACON folks) We are heading home early. Sorry for the folks I didn’t see. And good luck to the Hugo finalists tonight- I hope you look smashing and win all the awards.

It is super weird to see the news of Dolly’s death ripple through Disneyland. Thanks Dolly for getting kids to read and funding vaccine research and making unforgettable music and so many other things.

Just watched the new Game Changer. It was funny in its twisty-ness but the Topeka mocking felt unduly mean. I think all improv performers in middle America should send audition reels to Dropout.

For those outside of the general music ecosystem - If you love a band or artist and want to make their day, buy their music direct on a platform like bandcamp. Doing so typically nets them the same revenue as approx. 3,000 streams (or more). There is tremendous power there.

What’s the word for “I worked very hard to create this thing that is obviously handmade and doesn’t reflect how fucking hard it was”? Yeah I made a thing for Worldcon. It took days to get it right. I promise.

Awesome Possums win at trivia! We lie fearlessly in front of larger predators until the right time when we strike. Or bet a lot of points to win in the end. My metaphor is falling apart a bit. Blame @danielsolis.bsky.social for the name. @cthulhim.bsky.social also pictured.

I’m not saying I’ll be tackling Wole at Worldcon to get a copy of his book. But I’m not saying I’m not, either. Or I could just preorder and not be violent… hm.

Just watched @samellis.bsky.social play TR-49 in three hours and, well, I’m not going to say how much time I’ve put in the game. I wandered around a lot and found four endings but still, man. Three hours???

Three batteries- one has juice, one is dead, the third is swollen and scary but you don’t know why because no one ever taught you about batteries unless you were a hillbilly in the mountains and your friend said maybe don’t throw them in a campfire like Joey did that one time.

How to know if the self help book is written by a neurotypical author: WRT habits, they talk about brushing teeth like it’s never a choice, it’s just a habit. “You don’t have to think about brushing your teeth, right?” Yes. I do. Every time. Habits aren’t exactly habitual for some.

Continuing to revel in some of the amazing blurbs folks were kind enough to give STARTUP HELL, including this delightful one by @mightymur.bsky.social!
"Startup Hell is possibly the most accurately named book of 2026. Sweet, funny, and hysterical. The company is painfully funny, but I admit that if I could have a demon hunting mom and an adorable hell hound pet, I might even apply for a job."
