Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 08/10/2026Obviously based on my initial post at least a part of me agrees with you, but in both cases it's still murder as public spectacle. 100
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 08/10/2026Not to ruin a good angry rant, but the more I chew on what I posted the less coherent it seems. Guillotines were famously public executions, so what is the practical difference between that and what I'm so furious about? Who it's pointed at? There's definitely an inconsistency here. 231
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 08/10/2026The motherfucking Pentagon is going to livestream an execution by firing squad. Livestream. I have zero trouble believing this is Hegseth's version of clout chasing. Fuck, maybe they can get Mr. Beast to tack on a contest. I'm coming around to @gregdoucette.bsky.social 's view of guillotines. 131

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 07/10/2026We live in a time where Barry Goldwater would be considered part of the liberal wing of the Republican Party. 011
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 06/10/2026If the document is based on some kind of external requirements/legal document, it could be that each of those sections refers to a similar section in the other doc, so they want 2.5 in this doc to line up with the 2.5 in the other doc. Or they just don't want to renumber everything after 2.5. 020
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 02/10/2026On Monday morning I come into my full inheritance as someone over 50 by having my first-ever colonoscopy. Truly the innate dignity of medicine is a wonder to behold. 120
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 01/10/2026I agree "this is your brain on drugs" is definitely more famous, which is too bad, because I 100% agree about "I learned it from watching you." Would be so much more rhetorically useful to deploy these days! 010
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 25/09/2026I have yet to get an ai-generated email full of faux flattery about any of my creative projects, and I can't decide if I'm just that good staying under the rAIdar or if I should be offended. 040
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 20/09/2026In terms of story pacing Columbo is very much a product of the 70s. Especially during the "villain plans the murder" part. 000

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 16/09/2026obviously if you're going to put a university on a levitating mountain, you shouldn't be taking a train. Giant swans pulling flying carriages at a bare minimum! 080
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 09/09/2026The entire cast is outstanding, but Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre are just fucking incredible. 011
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 09/09/2026So I just want to say, since I haven't seen anything about it on my feed, that the HBO Lanterns show is FANTASTIC. Hal Jordan and John Stewart are perfectly cast, they work together fabulously, and I wasn't really sure about the "True Detective but Green Lantern" concept but the story is fantastic. 210
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 07/09/2026I mean, the ground was still bare copper wire but literally all of the other wires were white. 110
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 07/09/2026So I got as far as removing most of the old ceiling fan, but when I started to remove the base I noticed that ALL OF THE WIRES COMING OUT OF THE CEILING WERE WHITE at which point I decided it was time to hire a professional to do this stupid thing. 110
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 06/09/2026The new ceiling fan has a complete set of instructions on how to install it. The problem I'm running into is there aren't any instruction on how to remove the old one. I assume "with a hammer and crowbar," while effective, will ultimately interfere with the install instructions I actually have. 330
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 06/09/2026When I was a much younger man a doctor told me his advice for anyone wanting to a live a long healthy life: "stay away from ladders, always hire someone else to do your electrical work." Very sensible and profound. Anyway, today I'll be balancing on a stepladder as I try to replace a ceiling fan. 160
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 25/08/2026I would also love the answer to this. I would like to expand the question to include "politicians begging for money" but... baby steps, I guess. 050
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 27/07/2026Things take an interesting turn when the old guy's cellphone rings and she snatches it - it's a call from his wife. So the lady calls the old guy's wife back and gets his birthday and that's when I learn THE OLD GUY IS SEVEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME 020
Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 27/07/2026So I'm watching a YouTube clip of a British gameshow where this old guy has written a number down on a piece of paper and this lady can ask 20 questions to figure out what the number is. So by question 3 or 4 she's managed to get the old guy to admit the number is his birthday. 100

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 21/07/2026It's a modern-day fantasy but I don't feel comfortable calling it "urban fantasy" because those tend to be more cosmopolitan.

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 21/07/2026The Points Between is a story I've been writing for so long I've had to keep updating it to keep up with cellphone technology, until I finally decided to stick the story at a fixed point in time (the 2010s).

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 16/07/2026I typed up a very rudimentary procedure for remapping the sum function to a free key combination, and then realized BlueSky doesn't let you attach documents.

Self-Publishing Supervillain @eviscerati.org · 16/07/2026Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the MacOS version. On my PC if I highlight two cells and type Alt+= it places the sum in the empty cell to the right (if horizontal) or in the cell below (if a column). 010

Reposted by Self-Publishing SupervillainAlasdair Beckett-King @misterabk.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Important late-night VFX question: At 9.55 in this episode, the TARDIS appears while the camera is zooming out. I think they must be zooming out on playback of the dissolve effect, which is why it's a bit soft.
