isn't a public execution the definition of cruel and unusual punishment?

It’s one of the most f’d websites I’ve ever seen.

Jeez, Mental Floss, what the heck happened to you?

I've always wanted to do this except in corporate offices.

Came to the coffee shop to write but left my entire laptop at home. I guess that's why Phineas X. Pen invented the manual scribbler.

The single best piece of cultural criticism I’ve ever read observed that 311 sounds like Mountain Dew tastes.

I can say it’s middle-grade non-fiction about a historical figure.

Collected a couple rejections of my original graphic novel, but an editor liked it well enough to offer me a work-for-hire job on a different graphic novel. Every piece of writing you put out there has the potential to bring you something good. Hang in there.

I’m not doing inktober but I did draw this good boy.

I couldn’t help but notice you posted fountain pen content and felt it necessary to register my interest.

Cat food. It just looked good and supervision was lacking.

No, literally, this is my only right thing, but my wrong things are just trolling,

Now I’ve seen it. Even worse than I’d feared. Climbing a tree now.

See, this pops up early in my timeline and I don’t want to know the context, I just wander into the trees.

I have an Aurora Ipsilon, a Parker Jotter, a wacky Rotring Core that I really like, and now a Lamy Safari. And a squadron of really nice rollerballs.

Apparently in Germany you're issued a Lamy before weening.

I might be entering a fountain pen stage, so there’s all my money and productivity shot to hell.

I feel like that’s a reasonable approach.

Is it reasonable to expect a teriyaki rice plate to come with teriyaki sauce?

Oh, ow!! Please let yourself heal and rest and be gentle with yourself.

I miss getting a whole packet oh maod from AAA. But I'm actually bad at maps.

Golly, mistakes and shenanigans aside, the Anthropic settlement is a massive cash influx for publishers.

Happy you enjoyed the book! Thanks for posting about it!

Oh, how heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.

For real, and it's working in their favor.

Greg van Eekhout @gregvaneekhout.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Yeah, same. I’ll probably just have stuff going there forwarded to a new address, so not complete decoupling, but I figure something’s better than nothing.

Greg van Eekhout @gregvaneekhout.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Already decoupled from Google Search and Chrome, and now from Google Maps. Decoupling from Gmail is on the to-do list. Youtube will be harder, but I'll get there eventually.

That’s some impressive pen work!
