I Will Judge You by Your Dog You had millions of dogs to choose from. Why that one?

A pale, zombie-like figure in tattered clothes rises from a graveyard at night under a blue moonlit sky.

Good piece about a transnational trend in reactionary politics

Following in Murdoch's footsteps, we have seen countless reactionary billionaires building media empires, almost always at a huge loss

Profit is not the point, power is and weakened democratic institutions are unable to resist

I worked with so many companies (as clients) during the dotcom boom and I remember the heady optimism of mottos like, “Don’t be evil.” Boy, did that turn out to be a load of crap.

It is absolutely wild to this Cold War kid that the uber “patriots” of the right have embraced an aggressive, expansionist Russia.

Littke something to pin on Insta after the wave of A/I slop from this weekend

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today – Donetsk region. 28th brigade, 100th, 24th separate mechanized, 36th marine brigade. I want to thank all of you!

The cover of Crawl Space, a novella by Steve Toase

An inspection panel bolted to a pipe in a cellar. The panel is rusted and held with two nuts. It wouldn't take much to unfasten it. You shouldn't, should you?

Time to unseal the pneumatic tubes and discover the Crawl Space. Publication day!
So happy to see my little weird horror novella venture into the world to collect teeth and the broken of the world.
