Picard management tip: Always obey orders, except when the orders are wrong.

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

People who hate any group of women will hate all women

If hard work alone led to an easier life then most of us would be on easy street. But once they see what you're capable of producing in labor they set the survival goals just above that & continue to raise them everytime you meet the new mark. All with the promise that "Tomorrow, is a rest day."

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

Always vote AGAINST crypto. Trash industry, trash politics.

Once again I ask: Am I the only one who still objects to the whole "Red State" / "Blue State" dichotomy? I feel the division quite harmful, all told, and indeed a hindrance to thought.

"A.i." is for scammers and billionaire extractionists.

Non-cartographic book rec: "Automatic Noodle" by Annalee Newitz is a cozy dystopian scifi about robots starting a noodle joint in San Francisco. Gave me powerful Golden State feels! Newitz even used Joel Pomerantz's map Seep City to ensure the city hydrology worked! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Whoops! Took this this morning but completely forgot to share it until now. Here are your 4+ minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

So I'm not gonna quote that stupid bullshit thing from RFK, but have you noticed that white supremacists insist that white culture is superior because they're individualists and Asians are collectivists and then they pull this shit? White supremacy is a form of collectivism. It's just a shitty one.

Poison or Protect In which I read a steampunk novella by Gail Carriger. One Highland soldier, one lady assassin, and a house party. How hard could it be? Lol. Preshea has four dead husbands and a reputation. The house party is supposed to be her last assignment, easy and with minimal bloodshed.…

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

does any body *not* choose halloween candy based on what u want to eat if there is any halloween candy left after halloween

So, bit of an ask. If you ever liked what I did on Twitch, join my $5 tier on Patreon. Seriously. It's less than a Twitch sub, it will still support my work and streams on Patreon, and it really does help Kathryn and I out. Shares also appreciated. 🤘 patreon.com/artificer_ind

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

we all of us long for the connection and understanding... #WritingCommunity #Poetry

I just got an email from lithub trying to talk me into this and i am annoyed.

Get ready for all your Microsoft products to get even worse. We need to find ways to move off of all billionaire-owned internet services and software. A practical consumer issue as well as a critical political necessity.

Reminder to all my patreon supporters who are on the tier levels for the Snail Mail Club: Update your address by December 31st! The Snail Mail Club launches in January! P.S. For those who haven't joined yet... There are three levels, all with my art arriving in your mailbox monthly!

It honestly befuddles me when they stumble into telling the truth like this. Because you can't tell me that there isn't some tiny, neglected brain cell screaming in what passes for his brain that he might, just possibly, have said something he wasn't supposed to. 😒

Support actual creatives. That's it. Carry on.

Given all the everything, maybe @proton.me should be more concerned with keeping ai garbage out of their privacy products. 😒

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

I cannot laugh at the very sad anti-spice post going around because the worldview of anti sexual pleasure Christians is so incredibly damaging. Yeah their husbands are bad at sex. No they don't communicate about it or google basic sex ed. They also don't believe in divorce. It's pretty terrible.

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

Damnit. 😭

Senator Ossoff led an investigation into Fort Gordon housing in 2022. #SupportTheTroops In May 2026, he spoke about how 𝙢𝙤𝙡𝙙, 𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙨 persist & some say base housing makes them sick. Trump & Hegseth need to fix military housing NOW 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 the 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁!

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

it is my deepest and most fervent wish that the tech oligarchs suffer consequences for openly allying with fascism the world over maybe we can extradite zuck in 2029

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

I kinda love Ride or Die for leaving me simultaneously uplifted and heartbroken. And I’m glad that they ended with a wrap-up and a tease, not a cliffhanger. So at least we got *some* closure.

the number of “yes on 42, no on 40” ads I’m seeing here in LA is depressing remember: yes on the billionaire tax (40), no on the ones canceling the billionaire tax (41 and 42)

unfortunately we have the ‘biological males’ framing here in the rest of the clip so I am going to have to rescind my ‘see how easy it is, red state dems’ this sucks! do better!
