My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

TF is this bullshit?

Me as a ghost

Oh my…

we have to think so much less about finding the right candidates and so much more about building political power that makes individual candidates simple stewards of the will of the bases they are accountable to

Great headline, great article too: www.thetimes.com/us/news-toda...

It's so good to see this guy out working again.

Couple random photos from the Larkspur ferry today. If you need to get across the Bay there simply isn't a more enjoyable way to do it - especially when they're serving Mai Tais ;)

What an insane fucking asshole. No lie, if our IT department were to pull something a fraction this douchey I'd be in their physical office raising hell.

You ever been to a castle? Yeah? Which one?

Torpedoes are covered under the Second Amendment, right? Asking for a friend.

THEY ARE FEEDING SACRIFICES TO BLUCIFER

Their ultimate decision was to exit the CA business entirely, due apparently to all the "social media amplification" rather than the fact that they set a private key to "4" emudhra.com/en/press-rel...

Apparently 8-Bit guy's "movie" (the AI 50 minute slop thing) hit Youtube This is my favourite comment so far about it

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

One of my ancestors was Rebecca Nurse. She wasn't just a character in The Crucible, she was a real person. Look her up. See what she had to say about the matter before they put her to the rope.

No person is ever as offended as the #dog is when you take them outside and it's the first rain of the year.

Incredible

Gary Tyler, a quilt artist who spent decades on death row for a crime he didn’t commit, now has his first solo exhibit at the Grand Rapids Art Museum

The Burt knows where the missile is because he derives it from where he is sleeping.

you can use the CA bug to make your boring smart TV way more interesting

It's not only all this, but it's ALSO an unexpected source for absolutely spot-on advice for an aspiring novelist. By accident, I think.

This was 100% my attitude when running for city council in Gold Hill, Oregon. Then when I declined to run for a second term and got wrote in and won anyhow, my sign could have said "No, I won't do it."

A lot more than six lol

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

I'm kind of bummed the Sacramento Athletics didn't make it to The Show, mostly because it would be such a spectacular mess logistically.

Okay, okay. Got into the groove, 2000+ words done and fun was had. I'll call that good for a night. #amwriting #booksky

Now get Gritty in there to mix it up with them and see what comes out.

Some say he is with the Emperor of Russia

we need you to rename rent to $500/ month and gas to $2/ gallon

I'm reminded of the idea I had to cut down on alcohol consumption by only drinking what I had made for myself. The idea lasted exactly as long as it took for me to realize that making a still isn't remotely difficult.

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

A spider has been persistently webbing by the trash cans, went out there a minute ago and got webbed in the head plus the SPIDER was right in front of me. Popped my glasses off, brushed my hair and beard, spider was gone, must have hopped down amid all the commotion. Put my glasses back on […]
