I really thought this one was interesting enough for someone to believe, "Yep, people will read this," but obviously I'm biased. In any case, I did a huge amount of work on it and I wanted a small part of it to see the light of day. The link above ($2 subscription, sorry) takes you to it.

Sorry you're the Bluesky Guy of the day. I actually read the article and thought it was interesting and definitely not what the pull quote implies.

New authors, please, PLEASE, you don't need AI to "improve" your writing. Rough edges, weird word choices, these are the quirks that make human prose interesting. I'd read someone's fever-dream of a 1st novel any day over an AI book that reads like the hideous amalgam of peppy corporate PR. #booksky

This is very alarming. I just read the other day where Jack Smith the prosecutor claims that Trump sold nuclear secrets to someone. I'm sure this does not tie into thid but it is interesting. I thought the president wasn't supposed to be in any other kind of business when he is the president. 💙🕊️🫂

That's an interesting read of it.

I read the source article and it came off more that she knows she's untouchable and can say these things without any fear of retribution.

She can make comments about Rubio, Musk, Vance, etc because at the end of the day, they're just clowns to Donald.

Will the bill ever see the light of day? So far, not one GOP co-sponsor. Also, 47 campaigned on full immunity for law enforcement officers. You're the expert. I'm just a guy with a keyboard. I read it the same as you. IMHO, either this dies on the vine or gets really interesting.

Michio Itoh on being a poor student in London and his friend instantly getting him into the top social circles, getting to dress up in authentic (not a theater costume but imported) golden noble middle easterner clothes and do his freestyle dance.

Landlady next day told him he had danced for the PM

When I opened the door the painter Nelson*2 stood outside, resplendent in swallowtail coat and top hat. He was a close friend whom, in better days, I had treated to drinks at the Cafe Royale. "This evening, Lady (Ottoline) tlorrell is throwing a party. When I told her about you she said I must bring you along, so come on!", Nelson said. "I've got no money. I can't fool around with parties. Anyway, I have an extremely important job- appointment at twelve o'clock tonight", I hedged. - "Then come until twelve", he countered. 13 I allowed myself to be bullied into going, but had no dress coat or anything-not even a necktie. Everything was at the pawnshop. Tying a black handkerchief around my neck I accompanied Nelson to Lady Ottoline Morrell's, planning to make my excuses in person: "I'll just say thank- you and then leave, so please ask Lady Horre 11 if she would come down a minute", I temporized. Lady Morrell, however, did her best to detain me, saying: "How kind of you to come. You dance I hear. Won't you do some- thing for us tonight?" As I hadn't eaten properly for two days I was shaking like a leaf; but I couldn't tell that to a lady I had just met, so I made other excuses: "My dance is a special one; moreover, I don't even have musical accompaniment for it, nor can I dance in clothes like these. Perhaps another time...." "What kind of music would you like?" she countered. "The conductor of the London Philharmonie, the celebrated Henry Wood, is here tonight** 80 I think he can play what you want. I'll look for a costume for you to put on now, so...". Signalling a maid, this high-spirited woman conducted me to the second floor, where she began opening boxes in front of me in rapid succession.

#EYDC2025 Day 11: a drama that taught you something new

It had never occurred to me that dyslexia could also exist in character-based languages like Japanese. Seeing some of the strategies to help a person with dyslexia learn how to read Japanese was interesting to me.

also the fact that Jim Lee tagged it brightest day when he posted it is really interesting. I'd be shocked if it didn't take anything from the Geoff Johns' storyline of the same name (which i still need to read all the way thru) but it could also just be the tagline of the show, given the oath

Three arrows with the word 'FREAK' pointy to a wolf with bedroom eyes saying 'and proud' [this is the alt text that i talking about, btw] i feel that being a kinky horny asexual person is interesting in this day and age with conservatism becoming more powerful each day and the hate thought different kinda of people, i feel more proud of how i am like, yeah, i am a freak? yes does that mean i hurt others? no is being a freak and proud of that awesome? YES! in other words, don't forget that everyone is a weirdo in some shape or form (and also conservatism is bad for people) (and, no, this is not a pro-para text. Just a pro-fetish and pro-kink text, i have a lot of mix opinions involving them, mostly bad that good (although i do like Objectum because they post cute images of computers and others type of objects.

Today I was at SIDE running a table read, something almost never done for videogames.

The cast and team are amazing, this was such a wonderful creative day of collaboration. More of this please, Games Industry!

The BTS footage from today should be interesting 🤣
The SIDE front desk is shown in the picture, the SIDE logo prominent in the background and the front desk decorated for Christmas. A large table, with a black surface is in the centre of the picture. Around the table there are seven chairs and seven scripts laid out, one in front of each chair. This is the setup for a table read of a video game

This week's #OFMD #WIPWednesday is just a sliver of a snip from Part 3 of Episode 6 of Your Time Starts Now.

After Episode 6 ends, there may be another intermission in publishing (having a bit of a time of it right now, but Episode 7 & beyond will be ready for your eyeballs before you know it!)
Ed had finished filming the last of the outros - not doing any of the stupid shit he normally did when he was feeling bored, like he was as eager as Izzy was for this filming day to be over. The autocue rolled forward and Izzy got himself situated to kick off the relevant clip after Ed had done the introduction. "I haven't been told much about this next task," Ed read, "other than it's going to be very interesting and exciting. So let's have a look!" The upcoming task had been initiated on location at the Taskmaster house, but would get its resolution revealed live in studio. Its placement in the edit was meant to be something of a reprieve from the bombardment of Bonnet bottom that had featured so heavily thus far in the episode. In the clip, each of the contestants walked into the Taskmaster house, to be greeted by Izzy standing next to a pigeonhole with their name on it. There was a small present wrapped in green paper in the pigeonhole, and every single one of the contestants had torn into it in the messiest way possible. The present contained a task envelope within which was a folded twenty pound note. Buy the best present for the Taskmaster. Here’s twenty pounds. You have ten weeks. As the clip ended, on a shot of a crumpled twenty pound note, Ed was already bouncing up and down on his throne, clapping his hands like a bloody child. While the clip had been playing, runners had quietly delivered the various presents to all of the contestants bar Bonnet. Because of course Bonnet had to be fucking different. Twat.

81 of 2025: cozy and fun with delightful character development. I loved the action in this one and the quest vibes along with it, yet the heart and soul of the other two books were far from absent. And the audiobook was excellent as always, since narrating them is the author’s day job! #booksky
Cover of brigands and bread knives by Travis baldree, shared from the fable app. A screen cap of my review of brigands and bread knives. Full text: I love this series so much. It’s just the right balance of cozy and action packed. The characters are fun and nuanced, their growth feels earned and responsive to the plot, and I feel like we truly care what happens to them. The twists this story takes straight out of the gate were interesting and the action sequences felt bigger and more significantly higher stakes than in the previous books. All in all it reminds me very much of Becky Chambers’s Wayfarers series, and that is a very good thing. I’ll be keen to read more books in this series if the author continues to write them!

Started reading the new Nitze biography the other day, and it's fairly interesting so far, although if the author continues to write that he was 'a man of action' five times per page, I will give up and read his autobiography

I read a couple of chapters for the first time in a VERY long time today. My attention cooperated. I cannot recommend “How to Kill a Witch” enough so far. Content is timely, and interesting, and a cool detail is the Witches of Scotland tartan is the cover of the book itself. 😍
Cover of the book, “How to Kill a Witch” by Zoe Venditozzi & Claire Mitchell. A passage from How to Kill a Witch that reads, “The truth about the Scottish witch trials is bloody and horrific. We hope that the resulting book is one that underlines the incredible lengths that people—mostly men—have gone to in order to silence women. How to Kill a Witch also goes beyond what we learned about historical witchcraft trials here and abroad and extrapolates to what we see as the modern-day relevance: when the going gets tough in any society, it is the most vulnerable who are accused of causing damage.” The black, gray, red and white “Witches of Scotland” tartan is the cover of the book itself.

I've been looking at texts I had that were like "what if" scenarios (I like to re-read them even if some aren't finished) and honestly, here I'm starting to shape who Alice is in Fate. It's interesting how an idea can transform itself over and over again.
“I-I don’t want to make him fall in love with me” the timid voice of the summoner came on the scene “I-I just want to talk to him some more, like I do with the others” “Yes, yes. Don’t lie to me, Mudblood. You want to have power. You'll be the queen of Askr, after all. Even if the prince doesn't show any desire of women” The prince frowned at those words. In part, they weren't a lie. Many women had tried to get his attention, even sneaking into his room, to no avail. The only one who deserved his attention was his bethroded. No one else. And even so, he seemed complicated to show any kind of feeling. “I-I don’t want that. I w-want to be his friend,” Cecilia replied, and it seemed like there was no lie in her voice. “I keep telling you not to lie to me,” a moan of annoyance came from the brunette’s throat. “Alice… it-it hurts…” It was then that he came out of his hiding place. Alice was quick, removing contact with her sister, but the brunette's slight reddish eyes made it known that something had happened between them. “Prince Alfonse” Alice greeted, with that fake smile. “I thought you'll be training with your brother” “I like my trainings on the mornings before breakfast” he replied, without looking at her. “Well, I'll leave. Maybe you have to talk about things of the order” Alice looked at his sister with a threatened look. “Prince Alfonse, sister” she makes a courtesy and left. The brunette lowered her head. Once again, she looked small. “D-did something happen?” The prince shook his head. “I just wanted to give you this.” He held out the books, and watched as the brunette hesitated but took them. “They talk about the Líf dynasty” (cont. in the next photo) “and their customs. The other day, you seemed lost about some of our customs, so…” “Oh. T-Thank you,” the young woman smiled. “I’ll give them back to you as soon as I read them.” The prince shook his head, as he watched the brunette's smile return with that small action. The dark-haired man smiled slightly, as it seemed that there was no one else but the two of them.

the r/dementia subreddit is an, uhh, *interesting* window into how everyday americans are feeling about income inequality, healthcare and Medicaid cuts
r/dementia 2 days ago Msdingles The United States is a bad place for folks with dementia HOW THE FUCK are ordinary people supposed to afford $11K PER MONTH (on the low end) for memory care? How? Baby boomers are aging, and cases of dementia are supposedly expected to rise steeply within the next decade or so, and yet there are barely any social safety nets in this shitty country. God forbid some of our tax dollars go towards caring for the elderly/disabled. Funding genocide and the border gestapo is more important, I guess. I hate it here 610 upvotes 270 comments r/dementia 1 day ago GenJonesRockRider WE. NEED. HELP. This illness is destroying lives! There are so many posts from caregivers in very sad and desperate situations. If politicians would just read all the posts here, maybe......just maybe, something would be done to stop this insanity. And it's only going to get worse. Medicaid is NOT the answer. So many do not qualify. Medicaid funded memory care also seems to be very lacking. The most powerful country in the world can and should do better! 232 upvotes 160 comments Reply from Asleep_Key_4293 • 1d ago The America-centric aspect of Reddit showing itself here. I'm in the UK but originally from the USA. Single-payer healthcare for all works and is the standard everywhere except for the USA. It's still a horrible disease, regardless of what system you're trying to negotiate it with but the USA is a joke. I've been here in Scotland for 14 years. There are some things about public healthcare that are not ideal but everyone, EVERYONE has access to the same level of care, from cradle to grave. fatcatbuddha • 5h ago I am so glad that worked for you. What state are you in? In N.C. you cannot have an income over $1500 a month to get Medicaid. Well, that's one social security check so - we'll have to come up with money on retired school teacher salaries (also in N.C.). I am so freaked as I watch my LO decline each day. 1 upvote Reply from Aunt-Ooley • 3h ago We are in PA. The income limit was $2700 per month. $1500 limit is way too low. I also attended a caregiver support group. It was very helpful to talk with others going through the same thing. I'll be praying for you. 2 upvotes Curlypeeps • 2d ago Yes another way billionaires profit off hard working Americans. My parents worked so hard just to have a house that they thought they could pass on to the next generation, but now we are faced with me stopping my life to take care of them or use the equity in their house to pay for their care. 103 upvotes Reply from LeanButNotMean • 2d ago I just started living in this same nightmare about 10 days ago.

Read the whole thing. The article has some interesting tidbits, and it's kinda fun to see how these men panicked as their privilege diminished. But the nostalgic "lost in the mists of time" framing is inexcusable. Anyone nostalgic for this era should be forced to smoke 2 packs of Camels per day.

The entire story is an interesting read and helps put the move in context.
“A new day is dawning,” one retired bishop told me after the vote. “We have found our backbone.” Not Partisan – Christianity 101 The implications of the bishops’ stand will be felt far beyond the conference hall. By denouncing the administration’s tactics as an affront to “God-given human dignity,” the U.S. Catholic leadership sent a clear message to 70 million American Catholics — including those in the pews who voted for Mr. Trump. The Gospel of Jesus, they affirmed, leaves no room for rounding up immigrant families or sowing fear among the vulnerable. Defending migrants is not a matter of left or right, but of right and wrong. The near-unanimous vote also puts Catholic politicians on notice. Many high-profile members of the Trump administration (and Trump’s inner circle) are Catholics themselves. The bishops’ statement implicitly calls them out, urging them to remember that their faith prioritizes mercy over partisan talking points.
