August, like the month

Perspective.

wish we acted like it instead of cruelly destroying our planet and each other

Need to find a birthday card that suggests one is "under the hill"

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

Would watch

A man in white shirt and black tie stands in front of a white board with unhinged horror situations written on them. Captioned, "Who had radioactive wasps"

The universe is just drawing words out of a hat.

"Yes, and"-ing the hell out of this.

Ok, very excited to hear that Troy Quane, director of Nimona, is directing The Wild Robot sequel!

Neat!

I was a mechanical engineer, but loathed CAD. Now I just fiddle with programs in MATLAB and Python to talk to lab equipment, and SHOUT at SQL databases.

Tattooed around my wrist are Hamilton's quaternions:
... i² = j² = k² = ijk = -1 = ...

I will never for my entire life forget centrists giving me "but how will we pay for it" lectures about universal healthcare.

Inspiring.

I'm very confused why several bskyers I follow for horror recommendations ( @horrorsong.blog & @deepcuts.blog ) are also making math jokes, which are also very in my wheel house.

My brain clutch is broken.

Is orph like the secret number Bleen that warps reality or drives you crazy, or something in-between?

Came here to say this.

Prehistoric Faberge Eggs.

I've been meaning to read Sutter Cain.

At the Mountains of Madness for Beginning Readers Book Dr. Seuss collides hysterically with H.P. Lovecraft's masterpiece of cosmic horror, "At the Mountains of Madness" in this new illustrated children's book by R.J. Ivankovic.

I also unironically love @drfaustusau.bsky.social Seussian rendition.

The Illustrated At the Mountains of Madness - Vol. 1 This extraordinary illustrated edition of Vol. 1 of Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness by French painter François Baranger is a must-have for fans of Lovecraftian art.

Strongly recommend the 2 vol art books of AtMoM illustrated by @francois-baranger.bsky.social .

Can be picked up from @hplhs.bsky.social :

"Oh??" and I buried the lede.

AtMoM and Prometheus have many themes in common and plenty of scenes would have looked identical. That's what caused production to stall way back in the day.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Why Guillermo del Toro's Long-Awaited Lovecraft Adaptation Still Hasn't Happened, Despite Being Announced In 2010 Guillermo del Toro's Lovecraft movie has a story.

Every year something algorithmically pushes the latest breakdown of why we're never going to get it. Here's last year's.

(That site preview doesn't look familiar, though...)

how I feel when someone blocks me:

I just want del Toro to be given all the money to adapt At The Mountains of Madness.

Ridley's Prometheus should not have pushed that out of production.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

Nice!

I've been wanting to reread these but I think my teetering #TBR pile will collapse, killing me, out of spite if it sees me looking at other books...

... Worth the risk.

What am I writing now? Failure Protocols, to be the fourth and final volume in the Tinfoil Dossier series. With luck I'll finish by the end of March.

Hand holding a copy of "Of One Blood" by Pauline Hopkins on a plain background. The cover features a stylized illustration by Seth.

"A seminal work of Black speculative fiction. Over a century since its original publication, Hopkins’s classic remains as relevant today as ever." — @pdjeliclark.bsky.social

We highly recommend Pauline Hopkins' "Of One Blood" to broaden your #scifi reading list: mitpress.mit.edu/978026254429...
