Forgot to post it here but I wrote another flash piece for COS' latest Warhammer fiction contest. Excited to share that my entry 'TRACHINIAE' was selected as the top entry! This was one where I felt like all the parts were arranged meticulously and it feels good to learn readers / judges enjoyed it.

Just finished Pretenders myself and I think it’s my favorite thing I’ve read in a very long time. I had a sense for where the story might go, but @aptshadow.bsky.social always manages to surprise in the best way.

Been sitting on this news for a while! There's going to be a Children of Time TTRPG courtesy of the amazing folk at Rowan Rook and Decard (Heart, Spire, DIE, Eat the Reich and many more).

I cannot imagine how insufferably annoying I would be if I kept pumping out articles about how bad a sportsball game is which lead with the core premise that I really don’t like sports games. Why would I write about them?

I was a Paul Tassi defender for the longest time but his latest Marathon article reads like the caricature critic he is so often accused of being that I truly cannot. You don’t actually have to publish 10k words of doomer goofball shit just because you don’t like a genre.

I will never respect 3D SpongeBob. It’s so strange to me. It’s like if the Simpsons just kept doing this shit and never called attention to it.

and in California, Democrats drawn into safer, bluer seats by Prop 50 still keep voting for fascist crap despite overwhelming polling showing a bipartisan majority in opposition to these policies. you don't have to provide cover for spineless do-nothing collaborators.

Investors and publishers have been trying to copy and regurgitate pop culture for so long even prior to AI that they seem truly unable to comprehend why normal people are repulsed by this shit.

almost no police chief in the country will give orders to arrest federal agents on constitutional grounds, let alone violation of state statutory law. These are people who won’t even publish communications with DHS despite no federal or state law prohibiting it for fear of legal retaliation.

Extimate Space @extimate-space.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

generally no, and even if they did, they would be unlikely to be able to hold them. There's a bunch of federal law which basically lets federal agents get away with almost anything they want at a state level if they can argue its pursuant to their duty.

Biden was directly responsible for one of the largest ICE funding expansions in history prior to the 'Big Beautiful Bill' and went as far as greenlighting millions of dollars to reopen a migrant detention facility at Gitmo where detainees were previously documented being forced to eat bugs to live.

Extimate Space @extimate-space.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

on top of that, there is depressingly limited political will to do anything on the subject of arms to Israel and if we have to pick and choose I would rather it be spent on ending the endless stream of 2000 lb unguided bombs and artillery shells being used to level Gaza and neighbors

Extimate Space @extimate-space.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

MTG’s line item was not about ending the transfer of MK84 bombs and 155mm artillery shells - it was targeting iron dome funding. Netanyahu is bloodthirsty, he will wage endless war regardless of the Iron dome, but a rising civilian death toll will embolden and empower him further

100

Extimate Space @extimate-space.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

thought for the day: do you think defunding the Iron Dome and letting the Israeli civilian death toll rack up will make it easier or harder for Netanyahu to justify carpet bombing all his neighbors?

Another slick shot of my spacer getup at Neotropolis 2025 from photographer Yuri Nevrov! I of course cannot wait for next year. Too many costume projects on my mind, from @owlcatgames.bsky.social's Osiris Reborn to an idea for a s'pht compiler from Marathon that won't leave my brain.

Extimate Space @extimate-space.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

Terribly excited for this. Tyrant Philosophers is quickly becoming one of my favorite recent fantasy series and I've been dying to revisit Ilmar, and specifically the Reproach since I finished City of Last Chances.

It wasn’t just Bush. We’re seeing the result of what happens when we turn the other way because they have a D next to their name. Biden’s administration, for example, initiated the expansion of migrant detention facilities at Gitmo.

The Sentinels are Kepler-609c’s largest and most visible corporate security operation, often fielding credit-hungry recruits with prior military service in the Cygni Federation, but just as frequently conscripting muscle from the population of the megablocks of Neotropolis. #Neotropolis #Larp

Of all of last year's last minute Neotropolis projects, I'm really happy with how this hardcase/chest rig combo came out after I realized *the night before the event* that I didn't have pockets on my spacesuit. Points awarded if you recognize the patch! #Cosplay #Neotropolis #Scifi #Propmaking

Part of making this account was to make space to share and engage with my hobbies away from The Horrors, but given recent events I am obligated to say: fuck nazis, fuck neo nazis, fuck fascists, fuck transphobes, fuck authoritarians, and fuck billionaires. If this upsets you, I won’t miss you!

Amazon doesn't own the rights to the episodes, even the episodes produced while the show was airing at Amazon. They retain temporary streaming rights which revert to Alcon, the production company, after a period of time has passed. We don't know any of the licensing details beyond that though.

It is! The series is 'The Tyrant Philosophers' and begins with City of Last Chances, followed by House of Open Wounds and then Days of Shattered Faith. If you like audiobooks, David Thorpe's performance for the whole series is fantastic as well.

A bit over halfway through @aptshadow.bsky.social’s Days of Shattered Faith and I can’t get enough of this setting and these characters. This series but especially this novel really rewards you for -reading- the series. Great little twists and turns I can’t discuss in more detail without spoilers!
