New Starsector blog post: Support Fleets!

Calling in friendly fleets to help resupply or for combat support, and: a side bonus of pawning off all that useless metal to a scavenger.

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever.

We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns.
The guns!

yeah i think there's a chance this all ends with Altman claiming they've "made AGI" and they create a vast, expensive mechanical turk style machine that can only be used by one person at once, it'll be demoed to a reporter who will say "waooawww..." and nothing will change

I wrote a blog post for @amosolov.bsky.social's Starsector, "Creating Threat", about drawing spaceship horrors.

(It starts with bismuth and deep-sea snails and ends in... well, HR Giger, basically.)

"We don't give a fuck. You need to get sober."

I wrote a (really long) blog post about doing narrative design, writing a space religion, and having fun with mystery-solving monks in @amosolov.bsky.social's #Starsector.
