When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I saw a great production over the weekend: Twelfth Night set to Duke Ellington’s music. The music from Play On! has been dancing through my head ever since. If I had the time, I’d go and see it again. If you’re in Chicago, I highly recommend it. chicago.suntimes.com/theater/2026...

It's always a challenge getting people to switch platforms, but Teamspeak has been going hard towards being a Discord replacement since the age verification stuff first came up, and their Communities features are looking pretty decent.

I was humming the Toreador song from Carmen while cooking only to be informed that it's a song from FNAF.

I watched this on a plane trip once and maintain that it's the best plane travel movie ever. Just the right amount of distracting without being too thinky.

I hope to run into this cosplayer someday ♡ For years now, he's been hanging out on Sarushima Island, nicknamed the "Japan's Laputa" cause of its moss-covered military ruins which are reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's film. Video source : www.instagram.com/p/DbPK6bxTd2Q/

What if #Shadowrun Dragonfall got a tie-in comic? Imagine... #Glory #cyborg #cyberpunk

This one is for you, you nerds

Would you like to contribute an OBJECT to live in a WAREHOUSE GAME? I'm working on a parser fiction game where you play as a worker in the warehouse of the gods- sorting, storing, rearranging objects, meandering. I need so many objects! Maybe even: one of yours? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

When people talk about taking kids' devices away w/o addressing how they have fuck all else to do, I think about the insane shit all the bored suburban kids I knew got up to before cell phones You can't just take their phones away or they're gonna get into making homemade napalm & burn a field down

I like the friction term a lot because it exactly shows where is a conflict of interests between employee and employer. Conscious employee wants and needs some friction to develop their skills, enjoy work and not burnout but employeer wants to remove friction by any means to get the results asap

Stealthily the stars slid forward into nothingness.

i'm thinking i might take some commissions to try and afford all my various payments; i've got student loans, credit cards, car payments, and might have a hefty medical bill to pay so... plz be gentle i'm rusty and old bekarts.carrd.co

Conventions should be called special interest parties.

Have you read Beowulf? No you haven't. And especially not like this. Well, you fucking should. Or anyway the fight between Beowulf and Grendel, which is short enough that you'd get through it. @sesquiotic.bsky.social brings it to you. stronglang.wordpress.com/2026/05/19/w...

"The old world of tech is dying and the new cannot be born" www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-old... This ones leans a bit more into theory and politics than I usually do when writing about the industry, but this moment in time warrants it, I think.

a beautiful part of being trans is being largely immune to this shit. i'm, like, *terminally* retrobrained, everything i do is about Old Aesthetics, but have absolutely 0 desire to go back to any time except, like, 2015 (and even then, that's primarily just 'with a warning')

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Realized I don’t have the attention span for like 99% of fandoms.

I kinda lost track of Twenty One Pilots right before all the Story of Dema stuff started happening and this is so cool?

Sherlock Hound is pretty fun but they really missed an opportunity by not making his antagonist Meowriarty.

Good morning 😃

You wanna know my hottest dinosaur take? Plesiosaurs are giant penguins.

People say they make a mean cup of coffee because if they said they make an average cup of coffee no one would want it.

The core of Double Exposure and Reunion, to me, is about trauma. But it's unfortunate that this works best when Chloe is out of the picture and it's Max and Safi being disasters together only to stumble when Max and Chloe reconnect, when their shared trauma is why they split up in the first place.

The answer to "why don't Americans rise up" is because the entire architecture of American society is designed - at great cost to every other aspect - to make dissent difficult. Cities aren't walkable, and are spread out across hours of roads. Losing your job means no healthcare. etc.

If you ever find the last person alive claiming THE LOST BOYS isn't an extremely gay movie, it's so important that you laugh at him. Like a lot.
