Made a 3D printed 2x macro lens from a microscope objective. The geode on my desk is more amazing than I realized.

Remember, for the Dems, the problem isn’t dropping bombs on a
country where people are fighting for justice, the problem is how they organized the bombing.
Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

I love love love when New Book Day gives work by some of my favorite humans. Even better? Horror taking place in the woods by my house. Can’t wait to dig in!

Thank you for staying creepy, @johnkpeck.bsky.social @tenebrouspress.bsky.social

Much of the reactionary movement can be distilled down to two motivators:

"I'm angry that this did not give me an erection", and

Seeing Leonard Peltier under an open sky in North Dakota is a bright ray of light in dark times.

They really are just stripping the wiring out of the entire US.

Mass immiseration is the goal.

Maybe this is too obvious but if people actually want to put a stop to Musk’s hostile takeover of the federal government, just make it clear to Trump that people think Musk is the real president. I suspect we can count on Trump’s narcissism to do the rest.

I designed and built a parabolic dish microphone for recording nature sounds. It uses a combination of 3D printed parts and off-the-shelf hardware. Will post some audio here soon!

In case you’re wondering where the Democratic Party leadership is right now, they’re laughing hysterically over drinks with their Republican colleagues at the fact that so many people are still looking to them for salvation.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but just because there’s only a little bit of liquid in the big container doesn’t mean it will all fit in the small container.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.

One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

I’ll probably forget to do all of this but what the hell.

It seems like there might be actual people here. And that feels noticeably different in a way that I did not anticipate.
