Nice to see things ramping up on this app. Mildly curious how this place picks up the pieces of what's left on the "other site."

As for me, I tend to post about cinema, horror games, apocalyptic ephemera etc. etc.

Also my cats, and occasional snapshots of life in the PNW.

Glad you're here.

Reps for CNN, Reuters, The AP, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic and NPR all say that journalists from their newsrooms are not signing the new paperwork about Pentagon access. Newsmax says it doesn't intend to sign, either — a potentially significant sign of MAGA dissension.

amazon and microsoft run and control huge swaths of our reality as human beings, and their connection to this place is also vague and obscured.

must be the salt water.

baseball on the radio still works, somehow, in this fucked up world.

I’ve drawn a Swamp Thing illustration for DC, and a story about some Swamp Thing supporting characters, but I’ve never done an actual Swamp Thing story. #lieberAMA

What is Nighthawks? It's a vampire game where the vampires have been exposed to the world... but it's also different in tone from most. Vampire games tend to be cold and cynical, but this time, being a light in the darkness can be the real adventure.

The secret is out. Vampires have been exposed to the world… and you’re one of them. Seize the night as a modern monster, stepping out of the shadows to build a thriving nightclub empire through fear, ...

While We Wait Here is such an intriguing mesh of things. That mesh is a bit loose in places, but it doesn't massively detract from an atmospheric, apocalyptic tale of final clarity and regret.

One of my favorite little details in DS9 is that Ben Sisko's Dad runs a restaurant, in a world full of replicators, in which no one has to work for money to survive. Why? Because that is what he wants to do. It's simple, but it is one of the most optimistic things about Star Trek.

Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 21h

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it

well holy shit this prediction paid out — in the most tragic and shocking ways.

One episode left.

patrickcarlson @pjcarlson.bsky.social · 1d

TASK episode tonight should be crazy as hell. Anyone else watching it?

patrickcarlson @pjcarlson.bsky.social · 21h

great, thoughtful, serious interview with @kairyssdal.bsky.social. The economy, journalistic truth, and a parting shot on “betting on yourself.”

Listen to the end.

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline
