Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

me watching Sam Neill in anything:

Sam Neill in his role in In The Mouth Of Madness, he’s in a blue hospital gown covered in faded ink doodles. he’s sat in a cinema, it’s dark and empty. he’s holding a big tub of popcorn and looking up to the screen, grinning and maniacal.

Finally, footage from that new whale graveyard. The fact that fossils and fresh carcasses mix together in this spot is bonkers. But of course it makes sense, because the scavengers that live down there also need a steady supply over millions of years. They can't just suddenly adapt to the deep.

I want to reassure everyone that abortion providers have been ready to switch to misoprostol-only abortion for a long time now, and clinics can still provide mifepristone in person. You can still access abortion and there are people who will help.

One of you gorgeous souls asked me to strip down my old planetarium and make one purely for constellations. Cool! So: that is literally all that this does. It’s still real data! There 41,000 stars in there, and you’re at the location of earth, but it’s super minimalist. Click on the constellations!

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

For awards season, I'd like to take a moment to hype FF's 2025 cover artists. FF's cover art is commissioned, based on stories from each issue, and @abistevensart.bsky.social @almosthomefree.bsky.social and @evelynepark.bsky.social did an incredible job of bringing these stories to life! 1/4

From left to right: Abi Stevens's FF#24 cover (a psychedelic and colourful space whale dwarfing an observatory, amidst planets and a rocketship), Nickolej Villiger's FF#25 cover (featuring comic-book style art of 9 different scenes from the issue's stories), and Evelyne Park's FF#26 cover (a painting of a woman's face surrounded by shards of glass and fragments of a noh mask, all containing different eyes).
