Hearing 99% of the spoiled votes just said:

"Third term for MDH."

As there is no distinction in spoiled votes, you can't disprove it.

I don't have the numbers yet, but early indications are that

HH + spoilies < CC

So Quinn is wrong, as usual.

Turns out voting for Catherine Connolly is a rural pursuit.

I too find it interesting how spoiled votes are coming third place in a two-candidate election.

I would recommend Koschei's Thread to people who like the film First Reformed but wish it was also a sci-fi exploration of existential and medical horror.

Character of the year, maybe the decade

Look at me, moderating a panel for the first time. It's more fun than you might think. Thanks @octocon.bsky.social for a great weekend!

'25 Peppercorns' is out now with @mythaxis.bsky.social.

This has been a particularly difficult story for me to publish, both personally and in finding a good home for it. It is deeply personal, but it's also political.

Earth is so weird and beautiful.
What do you mean there are shrimp that are kind of like bees and they have comic book style super powers?!

I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT

Check out this wicked review of @eoindooley.bsky.social’s No Sympathy in @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social!

And then go check out the book! You can get it from @press-android.bsky.social.

Why is YouTube obsessed with feeding me AI adverts about tai chi?

I think that’s why you see some CEOs go off and try to randomly be physicists or something else. Having an upsetting amount of money requires justification and if you believe in the just world fallacy then you have to be smart enough to merit all this. Even though you aren’t. So you pretend instead.

Not surprising that CEO types love them. In addition to replacing workers beneath them, they help with the fantasy that their wealth is the result of their genius (or “manifesting success” 😖), rather than the labour of many others and a large degree of luck on their part.
