Tonight's book club meeting discussed The Wind's Twelve Quarters, a collection of short stories be Le Guin. Some of these I had read before, some of them were new, and rather fatefully it contains The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas. Which is as good a reason as any to link some of my work:

“Hello!” says the dock officer with a winning smile. “Welcome to Omelas!” “Thanks so much,” V.V. says, matching his energy and handing both their passports up. “It’s great to be … here?” Siri has hi...

implementation problem with DC statehood is if you make the city a state, where do you squeeze in the much smaller, less important city that is inexplicably the state capital

my favourite thing about resident evil/biohazard is one of its titles has that cool, weird, kind of oblique vibe you get from a JP title with an english name, and the other title has that much more ordinary and marketable feeling you get from a 'good' localisation, but they're the wrong way round

When Charlotte Ballad was young she wanted to be a magical girl. Life, and family history, saw her grow up to be a mercenary. Read the prologue of my in-development novel Phantasm Arm here: www.thegreatsurf.com/fiction/2025...

It’s late now and through the windows Lumikki can make out the city as more than just sodium-vapour filling the unseen contours of the land. The rain-stained concrete low-rises, the flaking stucco stores, the discordant pulse of red and green traffic lights playing to nearly empty streets. She spares a furtive glance at the other elevator. Its floor display is counting up.

The girl leans in the way. “There are a lot of moving parts to this that I don’t have time to explain, but I will once I’ve got you out of here. Can you live with that?”

There isn’t a single reassuring thing in her expression, but Lumikki nods.

“Okay. Now can you hold these?”

She has her stilettos pinched between two knuckles, and Lumikki takes them almost automatically. Then she says, “Why?”

“Because we’re going out that window.”

“Ha?” is all Lumikki manages before the girl whips her arm around in a circle, the nail of her index finger shrieking on the glass. Then she gives the window a sharp tap and a humming disc nearly as tall as Lumikki, nearly as thick as her wrist, rotates on its axis.

The girl pulls it out one handedly and rolls it down the hall. Lumikki’s head tracks after it, mouth agape, and when she turns back the girl is standing right in front of her.

“Please don’t,” Lumikki says in a very small voice, and is immediately swept up in the girl’s arms.

“My name’s Charlotte, by the way,” she says, planting a foot on the cut glass, threading her body through the window, and launching the two of them into the warm night air.

Wrote this article for Phantasm Arm yesterday while stuck on the phone for an hour listening to my dad go on about how his water rights have been stolen by the blueberry industry (don't ask). It's maybe a little low on context but it got a good review so I'm sharing it here.

it's not surprising or irregular that the real unit price of a commodity has declined over time, particularly one where the costs are overwhelmingly R&D rather than unit manufacturing in an expanding market; conversely the insistence that this is a moral imperative is a little bizarre

steelmanning steelmanning: "constructing the best possible opposing argument" is a completely normal exercise that you should want to be good at. you do need to have some justification for doing it. people with no or bad justification are probably disguising polemic as intellectual exercise
