Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I just finished reading The Fires of December, and it was absolutely marvelous. My wife is reading it next, so I get the pleasure of vicariously experiencing it again through her. 😁

It's official: The EPA has repealed a rule that would have directly saved thousands of lives by limiting fossil fuel emissions from power plants. Industry lobbyists successfully pushed for this repeal using surging demand from data centers as justification. The government chose AI over human lives.

In the last 30 minutes I received over 200 (and rising) texts to verify purchases that I most certainly did NOT make on my credit card. Luckily, the credit card company caught the first purchase and I locked my card so none of them went through. A headache, but it could have been so much worse!

I’ve seen some internet strangers talking about the book I published last year, calling it “shitty” and “fucking awful.” What surprised me the most is that these words didn’t sting. Maybe my book DID suck. *shrugs* You can only learn by trying, and you can only grow by doing.

Wooo-eee, my brain is fried. It’s been a busy week working on [secret project]. Most work has been refining weak moments or improving story details, so it’s slow going. The changes themselves seem small and insignificant, however these details are exactly what can bring a game from 4 stars to 5.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time.
