ICYMI it at @canconsffh.bsky.social, @gregoryawilson.com announced a new fantasy novel he's writing with the legendary Ed Greenwood, where in-text notes will explain characters' action in game mechanic terms. But I'll let Greg explain... Keep an eye out for Night Moon in 2027!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The Yankees haven’t won the World Series in like a million years.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

The contempt held for people who enjoy learning and a life of the mind, who don't conceal intellectual interest under a veneer of anti-intellectual racism and sneering dismissal of smart people doing smart things, remains one of the most frustrating aspects of our society.

So someone was relentlessly bullied because he got into a gifted program, so others got mad and wanted revenge, and now they're part of the "Trump base" because "resentment starts early." Sure: blame the kid who likes reading for the kid who likes beating the crap out of him. Utter horseshit.

To be clear: gifted and talented programs have lots of issues, and tracking has major drawbacks. But the "let's throw everyone together and hope for the best! :D " crap has always been bullshit pedagogy and worse social engineering designed to produce obedient workers, not thoughtful individuals.

This is the logical extension of a system which demands more and more and more numbers, raw data, without context for said data. Data points without a framework of meaning, numbers without context, are useless, as the current mania for assessment in higher education demonstrates.

Because he knows the GOP is about to lose, Trump is trying to control who wins our elections — but Alaskans will have the final say here. This is a shamelessly partisan attempt to undermine voters by a bunch of losers with no legal role in this process. Voters vote and states certify. That’s it.

"Please describe your extra curricular activities in high school, subdivided by grade." What is this nonsense? You don't trust the graduate school's evaluations of your candidates?

*staring at the job ad for a tenure-track job requiring the submission of unofficial undergraduate transcripts as part of the initial application* 😑 Judging that department *hard*.

Yep. Wait until you hear how the "college students don't read anything" thinkpieces are also BS. There are major challenges, for sure, but on the ground, the idea that "no one reads anymore" is nonsense.

When I say that the video game industry has had a catastrophic past few years, this is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Most of these game studios are not closing because they're not PROFITABLE. They're closing because they're not showing GROWTH. The system of investor capitalism is ruining literally everything you care about.

Agreed--this was a great panel to be a part of!

An absolute highlight was one of the best panels I've had the pleasure to be on with @gregoryawilson.com, @natalie-poulson.bsky.social, and @mariebilodeau.bsky.social about revision strategies for authors. I was so honoured to get to have such an interesting conversation with such talented folks!

I promise I'm going to stop posting about this...eventually. :p But since Bluesky has made it clear that it's not only okay but encouraged to (not obnoxiously but proudly) repost important announcements... GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? :D

Both kids and parents can make mistakes. But there's no blood obligation which overrides abuse. If parents treat their children terribly, they've already severed the family bonds, and the children are well within their rights to respond accordingly.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

If I was a Republican strategist I would be terrified at the prospect of having to deal with someone like this in the Senate, not just because of himself, but because he is modeling the way to respond to smug gotcha crap like this: by preparing and responding with calm conviction. Brilliant stuff.
