I remember talking with an elderly gay man a few years ago. He was very, um, theatrical, and he rolled his eyes in a way that I kept interpreting as rude but no, it was just very, um, theatrical.
Yeah he's not doing eye-rolling in the "huffy teenager annoyed with their parents" sense that I have read it in several books in the past few weeks

The pettiest hill that I will die on is that if your cool character in a historical novel is rolling their eyes at social conventions, no they're not, eye-rolling didn't become a widely described gesture in English literature until the *1980s* books.google.com/ngrams/graph...

No one is more self-deprecating about their work than I am but remind me, please, the next time you clock me doing so, that I could never write this badly: "the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza's body"

and before you refute this pathetic and disingenuous argument, know that refuting it is uhhhh also a privileged lifestyle choice, got u
my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

I think one of the more important skills you can have in 2026 is knowing when someone is performatively using progressive coded language to argue for something that is fundementally not progressive because they can claim a perceived moral high ground.

Book 93 of 2026: @boneysoups.bsky.social, The Red Sacrament This novel feels like a love letter to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, except it's much more exquisitely written. "Vampires running a theater" will be a familiar premise, but the details are jewel-like and the ending will surprise you.

The most immediate "Hey, if you liked BioWare games, then you'll dig this..." is the RPG project I've been on since this summer, Hunter: The Reckoning -- Deathwish. Its biggest influence is obviously Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, but BioWare hallmarks are there too. teyon.com/games/hunter...

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!
After hearing news of BioWare's closure on Wednesday, over 75,000 Mass Effect fans have signed a petition demanding that EA put another studio in charge of the franchise or license out the IP. https://bit.ly/4siIubW

I sort of feel like the geography of London is none of my business. That's for wizards who write comic books to fight over. Presumably it changes depending on who's winning.
I have literally zero idea about the geography of London. I know Kings Cross, and everything else is accessed by going into the bowels of the earth and emerging again somewhere near the right place, which is either near the river, or not near the river.
