This happens to me. A lot. With a cane. 🤦🏻 Some get a lecture. Others are reminded that a cane is a stick but could also be a bat.

As with all good things that start with a grassroots foundation, there’s the threat its own popularity will push to conform to a business-first structure to survive. Unless it can be carefully and intentionally bonsai’d to keep its original nature and somehow be fiscally stable.

Feels like one of the last tethers to decency has gone. Hellz, Dolly even survived the apocalyptic pandemic in @chuckwendig.bsky.social’s Wanderers books, still as the hero she was. An absolute icon. 🥺

Reminds me of the time Mom was excitedly telling a story over dinner at Sushi on Bloor. Before we could interropt to warn her, she picked up what she mistook for escaped avocado and popped the entire side-wasabi into her mouth. She turned every colour in the rainbow in quick succession. 😂

Their “fan surveys” always project and position their plans as a favourable option. Manufactured endorsement. Saw this coming.

a wizard @towerwizard.bsky.social · 28/07/2026
The wizard unlocks a desk drawer and opens it, slowly, revealing a silk-wrapped dagger. He swallows and unwraps it, touching it with a single finger. The jewel in the pommel glows gently and he carefully rewraps it, then leans back in his chair with his eyes closed, taking slow, calming breaths.

I have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/

Admirable clarity @science.org
The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

A bunny looks across a hazy countryside, with a few trees silhouetted against a thick smoky sky. The silhouette of a house is also visible, and a dim orange sun.

And if the red card decision is your intro to FIFA's bullshit, welcome, truly. We want to invite you to use that rage to do some good, and we've compiled some suggestions here:
