"Joel" share this photo from where his crew is pruning apples in Grant County WA. "It isn't easy. It takes great skill to prune properly. It's very important to do it right to ensure strong branches with many small nubs that can become flowers & eventually apples." #WeFeedYou

I see the Tyrant Philosophers series by @aptshadow.bsky.social being remembered as one of the all-time greats, they are that good. The latest, 'Pretenders to the Throne of God' is out now. My sfbook.com review: sfbook.com/pretenders-t... Thank you @headofzeus.bsky.social

Elena von Valancius, the custom Rogue Trader by talented @skolas-a.bsky.social in all her grace. The path of a psyker is a perilous one, but we're sure Elena nailed her journey just fine. Was your Rogue Trader a psyker as well or did you prefer a different origin?

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 04/03/2026
[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur.

Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Yeah. I think the distinction people are missing is "fine" is actually okay or even good for lots of players. We have seen it proven out multiple times that a dedicated studio can build an audience. Paladins still exists. But "fine" is not even close to the goal post for line chasing executives 📈

Stuff like this only happens in fiction because it's too cartoonish to believe. Right now, right! now! The world's greatest living villain, the literal avatar of evil, is visibly rotting from the inside out. Someone said "You lot are CLEARLY not paying attention"

I've had kind folks share that my artwork being sold on several online stores. They're all Shoplazza, and that company is zero help in removing the content. Not to mention it's dozens of other artists' work that I recognize. I don't know what to do anymore.

I posted to Twitter for what looks like the fifth time this year yesterday. Checked back today and the post has 39,000 likes, 3.2k retweets — and 9 replies, and 4 quote tweets. I'm sorry folks those numbers ain't real. Bordering on a statistical impossibility. It's gotta be almost entirely fake.

Hey mathematicians: Separate from whether you think it's possible or likely, how do you think you would be psychologically affected if there was a superhuman machine for both proposing and solving theorems? Meaning basically that, vis-a-vis mathematics, you were like a Go player after AlphaGo.

On the way back from Chipotle, juggling two large iced teas— one for an afternoon of writing, one for the event tonight— I stumbled on a Barnes & Noble’s, signed up all what they had. Maybe fifty books? Some sold in the signing. Had a gimme pen, but it worked.
A table of SGJ books moving around, either signed or about to be that way.

@aptshadow.bsky.social I just finished Shroud, and it was incredible! Thank you for putting out such great work. I'm so grateful for your presence in the SF/fantasy genre. I'm curious about how you envisioned the shrouded as you wrote, though. What was your inspiration for their physiology? Thx!

Whilst a lot of it was worked out from first principles I suspect unconscious recollection of Jansen’s Strandbeest creations played a part.

@aptshadow.bsky.social absolutely love the days of shattered faith and the whole of Tyrant philosophers so far! It feels left open ended. Are there any plans to continue the world or just wishful thinking on my part? Thank you for all your wonderful creative expression! ☺️
