I want to develop a course on fantasy and the nonhuman. What are your favorite texts, novels, poems, about the nonhuman, from the medieval era to the present? Animals, things, forces, armor, stained glass, spirits, weather, monsters, the elements—all that good living stuff.

Free chicken fingers are the foundation of any long-term ideological project in America. This is what the DSA doesn't understand, what with their vegan chic'n fingers and so forth.

This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

This is an amazing conversation but I recently encountered the idea (obviously of longer standing) of this - the 'Alan Keyes Constant' that basically 27% of people will vote for any lunatic as long as they have the right party ID or what have you.

Battersea Children’s Zoo has rare breed baby piglets right now and you can book to give them snacks and pet them. Or, as I opted to, steal their little piggy noses.

A woman in a blue jacket bending over a tiny ginger piglet with black spots She’s lightly pulling on his nose and he excitedly chews on her hand. Behind her another similarly colored piglet chews on her trousers while he awaits his own nose less fate.

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

2ality blog: temporarily offline

Dear visitor! Two things happened recently:

- The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).
- The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Therefore, I’m taking my blog and my books offline so that I can decide what to do next – especially w.r.t. AI companies stealing my work. This may take a while (think months): I don’t have any energy to deal with this right now.

I apologize for this (hopefully temporary) inconvenience to my human readers! You can still buy my books at Payhip.

I think we took something of a 'wrong turn' as a society when we made our intellectual ideal the young 'best and brightest' and put all of the value on *intelligence* as an inborn trait rather than on *learning* as an earned value. Learning is, frankly, far more important.

we’ve all been to this talk

"So, I gave my lecture yesterday. Despite the lack of preparation, I spoke quite well and without hesitation, which I ascribe to the cocaine I had taken before hand. I told about my discoveries in brain anatomy, all very difficult things that the audience certainly did not understand, but all that matters is that they get the impression that I understand it."

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of going through some of the boardgames in the Library of Congress collection. We found a game not in @boardgamegeek.com: The Diligent Girl as Lady of the House. More below, but: Can anyone help me figure out the publisher? Can't make a BGG entry without one! 1/

Cover of a small board game. The main image is 3 girls in fancy dresses having tea. Around them are smaller domestic scenes. The title is written in 4 languages: The diligent girl as lady of the house = La ragazza diligente come patrona di cassa = Das fleissige Mädchen als Hausfrau = La fille appliquée comme maîtrise de la maison

This means you'll be able to pick up a copy of my book on 50 years of home gaming history, The Console, at Debug Games Festival. Or pick it up and have a leaf through the pages, at least. Every little helps.

The front cover of my book The Console: 50 Years of Home Video Gaming. It has a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller on it. Which isn't actually a console. But it sure is related to one. And you can use it on a PC - which also isn't a console. Ah well. There's a console on the back cover of the book, for sure. I think. And lots of them inside the hardback covers. Please give it a look - it's not shite, say some people who've read it.
