This morning as she was kissing me goodbye on her way out the door, my wife paused, patted my hair, cocked her head, and said in the most loving of tones: "Maybe take a shower or something before your interview?" This whole work-from-home thing means I basically still have Pandemic Hair.

I frequently announce in my household: "I finished my book!" "Writing or reading?" "...reading." (deep sigh as I stare at my disorganized notes and unfinished outlines.)

I sat Newt down and went through this thread and all the replies and quotes and they got super excited and drew a shrew. So I had to join in, too. Can you tell which is which?

A long-tailed shrew hiker. Labeled: "Long-tailed shrew. Hiker. Climbs up mountain. Never climbs back down. AAAAAAAA-. Constantly nursing wounds."

A shrew monk guy in a robe? Blowing a horn? Maybe? Look, who knows.

“None of this is my fault!” George threw her bag against the wall and grabbed a scrunchie from a dish by the door. Her hair had, in between skating and fleeing for her life and driving at breakneck speed, become ungovernable.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

MPS wants to close up to 16 schools in a rush with no data, no savings, and no plan. If you're in Minneapolis, stand up, learn quick, and contact your school board representatives to delay the vote. Our kids, teachers, staff, and community deserve better! Learn more: stopthetransformation.com

I do think that a true "couch co-op" game should also actually be cooperative (the players win or lose as a group), but a game being co-op is less of a draw for me than it being easy to play with my friends. The "couch" part is more important to me than the "co-op" part.

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Designed to be played on a shared screen with other players, usually but not necessarily physically present in the same room (or even on the same couch!). I play "couch co-op" Sunderfolk via Discord with people halfway across the country. It should also mean only one copy of the game is required.

I think you were in a "video game writer" starter pack when I was first thinking of pivoting from tabletop to video games. Top quality follow; Pentiment profile pic and Warhammer/Rogue Trader brainrot sealed the deal.

No hits in this doc, so instead you get the inverse, I guess? The scene with the absence of injury? Is that how this works?

George realized she’d fallen, although she didn’t remember it happening. She scrambled back up to her blades, finding that her pads and splints had protected her, at least. She could feel the grit and debris from the exploded pavement catching in the rows of wheels, feel her skates shudder as she struck out for a clear path through the parking lot behind the RealTech supercollider facility. Somehow, she wished she were back on the frozen river in Wisconsin, on ice. She was never meant to skate on pavement.

I think the golden one is the clear winner of the non-standard Oreos. I think classic and double-stuff are also good Oreos. The gimmick Oreos are almost universally worse than these.

Just writing down some notes for the second arc of an upcoming project. So far all I've got in the doc is: Messier. Gayer. More explosions. Not a bad mission statement, probably.

Definitely had me going down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how the hell anyone drives a mecha, when I first started really considering this genre.

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I came across a file on my hard drive with a stub of a story idea called "The Epic Battle of Sonic Boom and Lightshow" and it's clear that a) it could be really cool and b) I am not currently qualified to write it. How did I even come up with this?

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

But like ... apply because then you get to make the choice instead of it being made for you? I guess?

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

You are uniquely positioned to do so. Which is...something, I guess.

I think writing the play at all (and with a flawed but sympathetic character) suggests that Shakespeare was less racist than a lot of his peers. Which still leaves a lot of room to be quite racist.

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Didn't "Geordi loves Holo-Leah" pay off when he meets real Leah and it's beyond the awkwardness event horizon? I feel like that's the only way to go when you're doing a plotline like that.

Uh, did I just call players "users"? Am I permanently corpo-brained now?

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I just assumed the over-setting was about giving the users permission to bring their own models from their favorite mecha property. Interesting to hear that you were exploring your own bespoke settings from the jump!

Daniel Clark @danlovatclark.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I dig how the Precipice over-setting can have weird and whacky stuff like "Mecha, but Renaissance Italy" inside it.
