"with Claude, we will no longer need lightly stoned weirdos who work at record stores because they are neurodivergent as hell and some band you've never heard of but is about to change your life is their special interest" these tech bros really hate anyone who was cooler than them in high school

for the wizard who knows when they need a little extra edge in the fight #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a wand casting a spell, causing a hole to open up in the world and a purple blade emerging from the hole. Bright pink magic flies off of both the blade and the tendrils of the hole. The wand is a gnarled stick of wood, wrapped at the bottom with cloth and decorated with small charms.

An illustration of the sword: two green blades sprout from a seed like pod at the top of the hilt, weaving around each other and sprouting leaves and buds. The hilt itself is wrapped with vines and the pommel is a similar seed like pod.

An illustration of a sword: the blade and hilt are formed from the north and south poles of a compass rose, with the west and east poles forming the cross guard of the hilt. A golden ring is set behind the compass rose.

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?

new Keep On Bookin’ It! entry! Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman was a quick read for me but deeply dear to my heart
An illustration of a woman with short black hair, pinned back with a barrette, dressed in a blue button up shirt and red apron with a name tag pinned to the edge. She looks directly at the viewer with an impassive face. Half of her face is obscured by a large ad, advertising a 3 for 500 yen deal for fried chicken at a convenience store.A typed review of Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, too long to be replicated in alt text

for the healer turned mercenary in the calamity #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a sword: the blade and handle is shaped like a bone saw, but with a straight edge to the blade instead of a serrated edge. The blade is partially wrapped in tattered red cloth, and the handle itself is made of bone and tied together with twine.

An illustration of a sword: the blade is short and slightly wide, with the hilt and crossguard holding a birds nest filled with blue eggs. The pommel is a cracked blue egg, and a small round yellow bird sits atop the blade chirping merrily.

I genuinely believe most LLMs would’ve died off well before now if we didn’t call them AI. they are not intelligent. they don’t “think.” and if I have to hear “well Claude has some opinions on this—“ one more time I’ll start screaming in the office

for the at-home baker, still not used to their retired life from adventuring #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a sword: the entire thing is shaped like a whisk, but the outermost loop of wire is thicker and has an outer sharpened edge. Batter drips off of the blades. The handle is aqua with an orange bow wrapped around it, looking much like a hilt and crossguard.

for the barbarian faced with inevitable carcinization #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a sword: the “blade” is an open crab claw, with blue magic emitting from the open L of the claw and the other edge of the claw sharpened like a blade. The hilt is gold braided filigree with a carved wooden handle.

for the gardener who uh, well that’s, girl you sure you want to fight with that thing #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a dagger: a leaf-shaped blade emerges from a screaming mouth at the top of the hilt, flanked by a leaf on either side. The hilt itself looks like a root, like ginger, but with eyes, a head, arms (which make up the cross guard) and stubby legs.

for the warrior about to take to the skies #swordtember #swordtember2026
An illustration of a dagger: the dark gray blade is wide at the bottom and comes to a sharp point, framed with a red heart shaped fillagre that molds it to the hilt. The hilt is a light gray with gold gems set into either side of it, long feather like protrusions make the cross guard, three on each side. The entire blade is themed like a sand hill crane.

every once and a while you just gotta look at the jon bois randy cunningham seizes the means of production union screenshot
a screenshot from the video Randy Cunningham Seizes the Means of Production by Jon Bois. Jon Bois, a white guy with short ginger hair and a beard, stands in the corner of a white room, holding a pen and looking at the camera. On the left wall are the words "Pro-Union: Workers deserve leverage for the purpose of securing pensions, health care, proper compensation. In other words, their fair share." On the right wall are the words "Anti-Union: Assholes"
