Two recent Danish editions of Ursula's work, published by Forlaget Feberdrøm, with cover art by Marcus Melo.
Spørgmålet om Planeten Seggri by Ursula K. Le Guin, published by Feberdrøm, cover art by Marcus Melo. The cover is pale yellow, with Ursula's name in brighter yellow against an orange background down the left side. The primary image is in woodcut style, showing a stylized image of three women who seem to be huddled together in the background; a castle-like shape circles a sword in the middle. Rocannons Verden by Ursula K. Le Guin, published by Feberdrøm, cover art by Marcus Melo. The cover is a light green, with Ursula's name in orange against a black background down the left side. The primary image is in woodcut style, and shows a collage-like image that includes a man in a robe, a boat on a pond, a silo, a mushroom cloud, several mountains, several trees, and a hand holding a chain that loops around it all, with a pendant hanging from the lower right.

every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

tweet from Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce CarolOates not complaining but who among us asked to live in a world in which, on your phone, composing some message vaguely meant to be witty, you struggle several times to type out the word SWEEPSTAKES but each time the word vanishes & a wee little icon resembling a broom takes its place. 7:24 PM • 12/30/25 • 56K Views

One more pelican before I put my phone down down for the night.

Taken this morning. 🪶
A pelican at point blank range starting to dive, looking like it's jumping from a top rope or maybe a steel cage.

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:
Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

incredible quote lol
When a doctor told me I’d come close to dying, and that the play had to stop using real knives, I remember thinking: “You just don’t understand theatre.”

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.
Young man in a red tunic bearing a sword surrounded by armed glassy-eyed monsters A red robed horseman with a skull face and stag's antlers rides through the forest, the horse rearing back, a shaft of light falling onto the scene A red haired woman in a red dress and a boy in a blue doublet stand in front of a huge black cauldron. In the foreground, three cackling hags. A boy in a blue tunic with a dagger tries to get a sword away from a giant orange cat

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday
A jack-o-lantern on someone’s porch steps. The pumpkin is old and starting to rot in such a way that it looks like an old man with no teeth, making a grumpy expression, with the top also falling in. This pumpkin has seen some stuff.
