Nice to see The Scum Kings podcast is back.

My shitpost king.

Nice. @talkwordy.bsky.social is on the front page of Reddit. AGAIN.

A lot of enterprise code is being written by AI these days. It will be interesting if that’s now considered open source.

😭

Pro-Adam and Pro-Larry fans in shambles.

Great! Older. Not much wiser. But still having fun! ☺️

I haven't seen anything like this in 30+ years in Texas: Went to vote in the primaries, and the line for the Democratic primary was 75x as long as the few Republicans that were bothering to vote in their primary.

Folks at @boskone.bsky.social tomorrow: at 6:30 in Independence, I'll be reading my short story "Excerpts from the Unauthorized Autobiography of Benjamin Brick", recently of @morningtransport.bsky.social
It's one of my favorites, and links nicely with the Saturday panel on brains in jars...

Mine was Star Wars. Nothing since then has approached the absolute awe of watching the Star destroyer in the opening scene just get bigger and bigger and bigger. I can’t explain just how mind-blowing that actually was for me.

While I have the resources to leave, that’s exactly why I’m staying. I feel so many vulnerable people don’t have privilege and can’t leave when *they* need to escape more than I do. It’s important for them to have people with privilege staying to stand with them.

Congratulations!!! What an extraordinary and epic run! You left the book world a better place than you found it, and I’m grateful for that. Now that you’re retired let’s start up Mishap again. I’ll track down a mimeograph machine!

In honor of then-dog Betty Boop's first appearance entering the public domain, here's a novelette about how she became a human.

Hey all, for the first time in over two years, we took a short break on The Thieves Guild. The podcast will be back on Monday. I know, THREE DAYS OFF! We're clearly slacking.

Sad news. Such a great songwriter and an amazing vocalist.

Oh no! He was so under appreciated. “Texas, “Road to Hell,” … so many great songs and such a compelling voice.

Tonight! Come hang out in the live chat and play along to see if you can beat us.

I don't think I could love London Grammar any more than I do. Such lovely music.

The Dragons Are Waking Prosper's shattered mind holds fragments of terrifying truth. As his cryptic warnings intensify, Darla and Maela piece together a chilling prophecy: Something ancient stirs in the Eastern Sky. When Prosper screams that the dragons are waking, the thieves realize they must return to the very place that broke him—facing the wizards who nearly destroyed them before. But this time, Maela isn't approaching as a refugee.

The Last Order Ralan makes his decision and prepares to leave the Tower behind. With saddlebags packed and horses readied, he and Rebecca stand on the brink of their journey west. But first, Ralan must face Alard and reveal his plans to abandon his post as guildmaster. As dawn breaks over the awakening Tower, Ralan climbs the winding stairs to find his second-in-command buried in paperwork, unaware of the conversation that could change everything.
