Awww! I love this one too. #WHC Chicago, I believe.
Was looking for some photos for Patreon tonight, and came across this one -- probably my fave of @raingraves.bsky.social and me of all the ones that have been taken over the years.

So @marysangiovanni.bsky.social is away for a few days. She always worries about what I get up to when left home alone, but I don’t know why rocking out to The Knack and Neil Young while I write is such a controversial thing. It’s not like there’s hookers, coke, and cops. This time.

Y’all laughed back in 1983, but here in 2025, STYX’s Kilroy Was Here is looking more and more prescient.

Can confirm. I’d go so far as to say it transcends “dark af” and becomes the absence of mf light.
This is exciting! My novella in this collection is dark af, and EVERYONE brought their A game!

Government could start by not going out of its way to screw the entire knowledge work sector. Just spitballing here. Maybe back your creatives when they say they've been ripped off by huge tech firms instead of finding ways to give our work to megacorps free of charge? I dunno man it's a MYSTERY...

This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.

For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

I did a thing today!

Stopped by @vortexbooksncomics.bsky.social and saw @briankeene.bsky.social and @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, and had a blast. This constituted a mini-roadtrip for me, @ecfnj.bsky.social and @bluntlittletool.bsky.social, along with The Bug, and it was a glorious outing.

As somebody who has officially reached “eyebrows growing hairs out a crazy angled and now need to be regularly trimmed” years old, I could very literally feel Brian’s back pain issues. Pulled a muscle putting on socks a few months ago and it hasn’t felt right since.

Here's a photo memory, @briankeene.bsky.social . That time I signed the signature sheets at NECON for CLICKERS FOREVER.

So glad that so many folks enjoyed last night's episode. These past few weeks, the show has been on a roll. I think between this one and last week's, I've figured out what its identity and voice is going to be. Stay tuned.

I know I'm hella late to the party but so far on the new Taylor album I have discovered that:

1. people don't understand sarcasm
2. taylor is not allowed to be happy
3. wanting kids and a basketball hoop is tradwifery
