Kinda creaky. I work at a desk under a garage. Fan of TTRPGs, science, Anthropology, speculative fiction, webcomics...too many interests.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.

Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast @irhottakes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

#WyrdWednesday Born in Hungary photographer Kati Horna 1912-2000 acquired Mexican citizenship & worked alongside Leonora Carrington & Remedios Varo. In her day, Horna was well respected for her images of women caught in wars they didn't create. Why Horna isn't as lauded as Lee Miller is a mystery.

I don't know what is going on with autocorrect, but it's very clear to me while doing a not-quite-final read through that the "correcting what you're typing while you're typing it" is introducing more errors, and more obviously wrong ones, than it ever catches.

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting
Screenshot of the article's graphic, showing color swatches derived from the Earthcam archive, illustration the color of the reflecting pool calibrated against satellite imagery, from 8 June to 19 June 2026. I chose yesterday, 19 June, so it rendered the US American flag with a green hue instead of blue.
