It's weird to me that the outcome of AI companies work is Wall-E, and that's what they consider the IDEAL future.

Apparently it looks so natural for me to walk around with a huge cauldron that the people at the register were surprised I was trying to pay for it.

It's hilarious when you started a game late, therefore behind in progression, and there's an update like "CRAB PORTAL REBALANCED" I am hitting rocks in a volcano, this means nothing to me.

snorted my water A+ lock in. I wasn't keen but I adore the YouTuber essayists who recap the series like it's an acid trip they cannot define. Even better when another essayist talks about the Tumblr history of one of the stars. I'm invested in the meta-story of Riverdale more than the product.

So 5778, bone flesh teeth, and the Antitourism Board sends fervent regards to NOT VISIT THE HELLMOUTH to all my fellow Blaseball fanatics. RIV to a remarkable moment in our lives. We saw it, we made it, we killed it, and we love it for as long as our memory allows.

Blaseball was a moment in my world, and in many others', that continues to resonate deeply. Though the tone may be different, mine was joyous, whimsical, utterly unhinged. You can't control it, you can't protect it from itself, and you certainly can't recreate it.

And that I still yell "TEETH FLESH BONE" in somewhat appropriate moments that, because people know my general demeanor, nobody questions. That I want to visit Moab desert with my fella because I excitedly talk about The Hellmouth and that my team is from there.

Nika Harper @nikaharper.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Because hearing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" on the 40s station immediately associates it with the Dallas Steaks, those grillin' dads all of 'em, and that Blaseball was such an incredible thing to be involved with.

At a gaming bar, the bartender was loudly saying "Hey man, your game comes out tomorrow, Highguard is gonna be the next big thing! Celebrate!" I thought the fella was just stressed. I feel awful with every story I hear now. Wonder what was on his mind and hope he's doing alright.

I adore Strange Aeons but it's definitely a moody watch, I have to be interested in laughing at the absurdity but these "stories from the Internet" can feel very familiar and swirl the dust of trauma around. Helps to check in with yourself, "Am I.... Really in the mood for this?"

I go to huge events where everyone has nicknames and costumes and all sorts of stuff. We encourage each other to openly ask names. There's no shame in it! I'm legitimately making a badge that says "remind me your name" after i saw a pin that said "i don't remember your name either."

"Let her cook" as the memes say. I liken my deeper thoughts to the mythological Cassandra. I'm right about the wrong things. They end up true, nobody wanted to believe it, I didn't want to be correct about them, and in the end it matters naught. Thanks, and I'm sorry, for you being a step ahead.

I always self-published, no matter the amount of disdain it got, because I had a lot of writers tell me that publishers absolutely do not want short story collections. When it comes to my art, I'm not letting anyone else tell me what to work on. We want different things.

I often feel like there's a war going on over my books between the readers who connect with what they are and the people in the publishing industry who think I should make them more shit, dumb & unoriginal so they sell more. I know whose side I'm on, and I know I've never been on it more zealously.

We're flooded with nonstop legislation, but focus attention on the SAVE Act. If passed it will be used to crush leftist voters. Married women would not be able to vote if they took their partner's last name (ID wouldn't match birth certificate). Don't take it for granted; call your senators.

When I went to the DMV site to schedule my license renewal, I was pretty bummed I didn't have to solve a CAPTCHA. That's the one place it would have made sense to have to identify a bunch of stop signs or crosswalks.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

Here in the Twin Cities, it feels very different from 2020. After the murder of George Floyd, the enemies were abstractions: institutional racism, police violence - plus we were mad at the kids looting the post office. Today, the enemy is clear: ICE is the enemy. The goal: Get ICE out.

These 3 hotels are in the "downtown" portion of Vegas, Fremont Street. Not one of the big places and further out, much smaller hotels and a kitschy low-brow vibe. I love it there but it's not the same glamour as the Strip. But for Fallout New Vegas fans, there's the cowboy Victor is modeled after!

I think the cheap thrills aspect will prevail. Why write a comic or hire an artist to make your head canon come true when you can get instant gratification? They're missing the journey, but most creatives begin wanting to imitate or add on to what they love. Sadly, for AI users, it likely ends there
