Please consider signing this petition. Salmon aquaculture in Ireland is polluting coastal waters, contributing to the collapse of wild salmon and driving overfishing for its feed – all despite organic labelling. And is a future we want? Chicken-remnant-fed fish? swanireland.ie/take-action/...

To remind everyone - Darth Pope was one of these guys and yeah they're still active in the RCC. www.ncregister.com/news/father-...

Colin Trudell had his Michael debut last night in THE LOST BOYS, and I am very happy for him and very unhappy that I was not able to be there to witness his glory.

So @kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com decided to tell the tale of the relationship between our cats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TCC...

President Donald Trump suggested Saturday that he would brush off Georgia's requests for federal help if Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) wins reelection, then conceded he probably shouldn't have said so.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

Anybody on Flight Rising got a spare Spinesword Warden to toss my way?

Did I get up at 7am on a Saturday so I could watch MISS HOLLOWEEN before my D&D game? Well, I didn't NOT do that...

This is ragebait so not directly quoting it, but the question misses the point: studying those topics trains you to THINK, which ia something EVERYONE needs to know regardless if you use those specific skills.

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

Weird request. So, I was scrolling on eBay and my eye caught on an item lot of 27 vintage rings. In particular, I focused on a blurred ring in the background. The ring pictured below. Sometimes, as an author, you need to know the story. I kind of thought the year read 1976, the year I was born.

RFK Jr’s unethical experiment on African babies is officially canned, thanks to public backlash driven by Stand Up For Science 🎉 ✊️ 🧵 🧪

Welcome home. We've been waiting.

For reasons I've never been able to understand--her manners are otherwise impeccable--Kelpie has always expressed her displeasure with peeing on things. When she was a baby she peed on me if I didn't get out of bed fast enough for her liking.

I love my cats. But Maine Coons are massive and SMART, and sometimes they make me wonder why I don't just have ball pythons. Very sweet, ball pythons. Almost never piss on the couch to make a point.

I am having one of those moments where my understanding of language doesn't align with someone trying to be mean to me. I don't know what writing a "self-congratulatory" book would even LOOK like. Self-indulgent, I can get, but what does self-congratulatory even mean? Any ideas?

I was sexually abused as a child. I'm not the only person I know who can say that. If I'd been forced to let ANYONE perform that sort of examination in order to play sports, a thing children need for health--both physical and mental? I am not unique. Vote no on unnecessarily traumatizing our kids.

And he still has his job as a cop. Seems like that should be in the headline.

The average price per gallon in 2016 was $2.14. Today, the local price per gallon is $3.89. Donald has always had trouble with numbers.

Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.

Patched my servers. Pass it on people.

To the folks pinging me semi-urgently about the PHP situation: a) Thank you! I appreciate your concern. b) My ISP is dealing with it, and patching my domains (among a whole lot of others) as we speak. My web site may go down briefly when this happens. Don't panic! www.wired.com/story/this-i...

I am so entirely thrilled to have When the Moon Hits Your Eye as a Thurber Prize for American Humor semi-finalist this year that I find it difficult to form coherent sentences about it, and YET I HAVE, many in fact, over on my site today: whatever.scalzi.com/2026/10/21/w...

I have paid a friend to spend three hours in my dining room sorting Magic cards, which I rearrange things onto the new shelving and put some of my beading supplies away for the first time in...well, ever. It still looks awful, but we're moving toward de-cluttered.

Things I wish I'd understood sooner as an AuDHD progressive beyond that would have saved me, and others, frustration. 1. Injustice Trigger Unfairness, whether it is games or political climate, is EXTREMELY activating and/or triggering and it's common with ADHD and autism.

...I noticed that I felt genuinely and safely proud of myself, excited to do more work like this, confident and secure in myself as an artist.

Local voters beware: apparently voting machines in Tennessee are changing people's answers. Review your final screen VERY CAREFULLY before hitting submit.

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 have managed, at great difficulty, to wet my drys, and am now drying my wets. My mental load from dealing with Mom's health care is sufficient that "I took a shower" is a gold star event.

New shelf has been positioned in the side room closet, and the reorganization of the Magic cards can begin. Positive: I don't think I'm going to fill all the shelves with new stuff. Double positive: that means I can move old stuff. Negative: I am so tired.

Look, we all knew Ramaswamy was a massive piece of shit but apparently he was really worried that we didn't know *just* how massive a piece of shit he was, so, great job, Vivek, you've certainly cleared that one up, haven't you
