“The Night Heron” by Alice Towey in @asimovssfmag.bsky.social is a case study in elegance without ostentation: unassuming #prose lit by the innate vividness of her characters’ words and actions.

#Simplicity is an #art, and Towey is a master.

Considering rewatching shows to track specific info for my own edification:

Futurama, to track when Bender says he's a percentage of a type of metal, so I can add up the percentages

Archer, to track how many phones get destroyed when people hear one of Archer's phony voice mails

I wish we had more leftist content about how the phrase "illegal Immigrant" is itself a fallacious term. There are many (long) paths for undocumented residents to gain citizenship. Forcibly deporting a law-abiding person is not normal & calling them illegals is just a method of manufacturing consent

I've been repeatedly agog at the layered political delusions of friends and family, I'm talking educated, savvy people. Days after the oral arguments for Dobbs, a Vermont Supreme Court Judge sat across from me at brunch and asserted that the Court would never ban abortion.

Like, dude. What?

I can’t help but watch these videos (not just of yesterday’s execution) and feel like most these rogue cowboys are joining ICE to it assuage their feelings of male inadequacy. Seriously, Rambo and Dirty Harry were just movies.

Finally got around to playing Halo ODST’s New Covenant mod. It oscillates between “woah that’s almost Bungie if you fixed the lighting” and “hahaha this needs a lot of polish, wow.”

The second level, which should be 2 levels frfr, gave me Metroid Prime 4 flashbacks.

Hi I'm Seth Magaziner, I might add well not exist for all the fight I've got in me.

I voted to express gratitude to ICE officers because I'm an obsequious coward
