My daughter brought home a Labubu, a present from a schoolmate. I know this has been stated millions of times already, but after enduring my first close encounter: Why? How? In the post-apocalyptic hellscape, these will decorate war-pickup radiator grills.

I love not using AI. I love reading books written by human beings, hand-sewing little creatures, watching for bats during dusk, listening to human experts to learn about a topic. Not using AI is very fun.

It’s intermission at a concert including Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil. I had forgotten how many of these movements in an hour-long work I had sung or listened to extensively. This performance of the Illumine vocal arts ensemble includes secret sauce: Basso-Profundo Glenn Miller. Wow.

I’ve watched videos of this in action for months now with a jealous soul. I’m not comfortable cutting into my recumbent’s power cables yet, but I’ll be in conversations with my electrician friend. Seriously cool.

Not in the mood to build a LaneSaber yourself? Let me build it for you! Just opened an Etsy store so those without tools can be safe too. This one is the heavy duty big boy that directly mounts to your rear rack. “Batteries Not Included”

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

A few months ago, I FINALLY read this short fiction from our local SF&F author (among other things) Naomi Kritzer (@naomikritzer.bsky.social). It's a post-disaster story, but in the vein of Hope Punk & Solar Punk. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-... 1/2

Hey me, don’t beat yourself up for waiting so long to finally take a trike ride, the best time to ride is whenever you do it. Congrats for doing it today, even if you were a tad too enthusiastic about that long sloping downhill and lost your flag somewhere. You still did it.

Caught a zelle scammer on the phone today trying to convince me that someone has sent money in my name and now I’m responsible for it. I kept him busy for 10 minutes before he wised up and hung up. I’ve got his direct line so I could call him back eventually.

What’s the worst pun in a fantasy novel? “In Sewer Ants” from The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett resurfaces from the cosmic stew in my brain more often than I’d like.

In my latest for Playboy, I wrote about meat, masculinity, and "boy kibble," the trend of men eating a pack of unseasoned ground beef for dinner. I argue it's the perfect meal to illustrate the isolation and nihilism in our ultra-capitalist system www.playboy.com/read/lifesty...

Boy kibble went viral. Here, John Paul Brammer explains why you'll have to pry his dry, loose meat from his cold, dead hands.

I love fountain pens. I’ve enjoyed dip nibs for years, only recently moving beyond a battered Lamy Al-Star. I never thought I’d need to talk about accessibility and the fountain pen, until I survived a massive stroke that left me without the use of my left hand.

Every time she worriedly rushes to make sure you aren’t annoyed; every time she decides not to ask for what she needs; every time she’s relieved and grateful over common, coequal courtesy — that’s you benefitting from the violence of other men. That’s you being the hero over nothing.

The “human” we compare to AI, though, mistakes the dichotomy. It’s not that AI isn’t human — it is an automation of capitalism, a human imaginary. The opposite of Artificial Intelligence isn’t the human mind, the opposite of AI is a community.
