Why do we only use the word "hypothetical?" Why can we only have not enough thetics? What happens if we become hyperthetical, and why am I scared to find out?
All these questions answered and less, next time on Wyvern Sphere Zed.

If you're posting about your genAI use being soooo unavoidable as an indie "creative" you are:
a) insufferably entitled
b) too lazy to develop your own skills
c) a class traitor
d) blocked
Hope this clarifies!

Don't ask me how or why the Brady Bunch theme song decided to become my ear worm for the day, when I haven't seen the show in probably over 20 years. I neither know nor particularly care.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there is a package that's out for delivery.

One of my favorite establishing scenes in cinema. Says so much with so little dialogue.

It's allegedly pfp day, post your alleged pfp.
This was taken by the first violinist in my then string quartet. I was warming up with Bach. At the time I was kinda purist about these things so was holding my modern bow a fair bit up the stick to emulate a Baroque bow's weight distribution.

Just finished reading BLUDEYE BEACH by @eliwoodsgheist.com and I tell you, it's a treat to finish out the year with a new book and series starter this good. The way it establishes its mystery and slowly peels back the layers was fun to read, with richly realized characters placed front and center. 🧵

It's such a glorious feeling, when a book messes me up in a very specific and satisfying way that I haven't been messed up in before.

Less common varieties of 'nog:
Hognog—bacon drippings & milk
Bognog—bog water au lait
Balnog—for those who have drunk too greedily and too deep, who long to taste the dark fires of Udûn, flavored not with nutmeg & vanilla but with shadow & flame
Neggnog—are you really going for ANOTHER glass?

The first thing that's always bothered me about the incessant Betterhelp Youtube/podcast ads wasn't the sketchiness of conducting therapy online with "therapists" that might not be certified.
It's that they think you need help spelling "help" but not "better."
Immediately turned me off from them.

Started my December right: listening to Scott Walker's final masterpiece, Bish Bosch, which closes with an ode to Nicolai Ceaucescu, a dictator so hated by his own people that he was executed on Christmas Day by a firing squad who didn't wait for the order to fire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yUs...

Listening to Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald today. It's one of those songs that, the more I listen to it, the more powerful it gets. And I've been hearing it for decades.
Anyway, it's one of the greatest songs ever written, and if you disagree, we can't be friends.

Just listened to Lily Allen's West End Girl, and...my god. 10/10 perfect album. Every track is a banger and still cohesive with the whole. I don't listen to enough new music to have a tier list or whatever, but this is the best new album I've heard in years. Beautiful, scathing work of art.

I simultaneously love and hate how each new thing I do on bass is accompanied by "and it fucking hurt."
Today's exhibit: I played a two-octave chromatic scale up and down my A string for the first time today. And it fucking hurt.

I am suddenly filled with the urge to play a D&D character who is an inveterate multi-level marketing scamme--I mean merchant. NOT a pyramid schemer. A direct sales girlboss goddess who has an exponentially increasing income stream from every town she travels through.

Playing Final Fantasy V in 2025 hits different, with Cid's grandson's name being Mid...no wonder his parents aren't in the picture.

I just finished Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. What an astounding book 1. Beautifully realized world, fleshed out characters, that looming sense of dread that you know will pay off but don't know in what way until the moment.
I have the distinct feeling this series will be a favorite of mine.

Look, we know Amazon/Audible will always want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but Audible's new model is actively screwing authors. So I'm just throwing this out there into the void in the hopes that it might help in some small way. chng.it/MMNKstMswW

I have started Hollow Knight tonight, and I am admittedly a bad 2D platformer, but I am determined to get through this because it's been a beautiful experience so far, even if I can't yet get past the first boss.
I know why the devs spent seven years on the follow-up; it was for the joy of it.
