Oh; I concur that this is not my circus, but those ARE, in fact, my monkeys. And therein lies the problem, constable: this circus has obtained my monkeys by nefarious means.

I will be forever grateful to @tristanelwell.bsky.social for his Starter Villain cover art. The moment we all saw it we were all, "Oh, we're gonna sell a LOT of this one." And we were right! Authors, please use Tristan for all your cover art needs.

RUN FOR COVER (1977) Acrylic on illustration board H. Beam Piper is, of course, best remembered for the Fuzzies of Zarathustra. My involvement with those books began in 1976 when Ace, guided by Jerry Pournelle, repackaged the two original novels: LITTLE FUZZY and FUZZY SAPIENS. #art #booksky 🪐📚
A white haired man stares down a horned and tusked alien boar-like creature as it prepares to charge. Pappy Jack cradles a little fuzzy alien creature in one hand while gripping a laser rifle by the stock with his other. The beast turns intense orange eyes towards the pack of fuzzies that are panicked and looking for cover. The beast’s intentions are clearly hostile from the bristling of its mane to the set of its hooves on the flora covered rise.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.
Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

This Many Years Ago @thismanyyearsago.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
43 years ago, on the 26th of September 1983, the Soviet nuclear early warning system reported a missile launch from the United States. Russian lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov judged the warning to be a false alarm and disobeyed military protocol, preventing a retaliatory attack. #otd 🗃️

The likeliest "AI ends the world quickly" scenario is removing the next Petrov from the decision loop. For more than 150 years, we've taught military officers that "decide fast and fix it later" is the key to victory. Move fast and break things.

The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Discworld meme. On the left is Death, a skeleton with glowing blue eye sockets wearing a black robe. Death is petting a small kitten. 

On the right is the text of the quote. 

“I meant,” said Ipslore bitterly, “what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?’

Death thought about it. 

CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff
Aristocrats don't notice philosophical conundra. They just ignore them. Philosophy includes contemplating the possibility that you might be wrong, sir, and a real aristocrat knows that he is always right. It's not vanity, you understand, it's built-in absolute certainty. They may sometimes be as mad as a hatful of spoons, but they are always definitely and certainly mad.
