A few weeks ago, a story fell out of my head and onto the page in a matter of hours.

Today, I get to announce that...I SOLD IT TO @UncannyMagazine!!!

I'm so excited for you all to meet Tantie Merle & the Farmhand 4200. Written entirely in the voice of a Trini grandmother, and our Creole language, this one has love, robots and one very irascible goat!

Look, we here at Tory H.Q. know what it looks like, ‘’why is it always a Tory donating peer, that’s in the news for horrible horrible things’’? And yes we may have promised to end ‘no fault’ evictions,but there is a simple explanation- We don’t give a fuck about you, unless you donate millions to us, then we’ll make you a lord

This kind of light is always teasing me out here. I see it when I don't have camera or lens that I want to have for the scene. This day, I went ahead and got a picture with what I had, the phone camera.

Just finished presenting "Why Contributing to Open Source is More Important Than Ever" for @openuk - thank you @lornajane for being a fantastic M.C.! Here's an interesting piece from GitHub's ReadMe blog about how "open" your project might be. https://github.com/readme/featured/how-open-is-open-source

JUST NOW: Dems HAVE flipped the mayor's office in Jacksonville, Florida.

This was the most populous city with a GOP mayor anywhere in the country. No more.

Donna Deegan, who faced attack ads for… simply attending a BLM rally, will be the next mayor.

1. I created a Game Boy filter, which takes any image or video and turns it into a Game Boy screen, including limited Game Boy Color support.

I confusingly turned it into a Twitter account that posted random King of the Hill screenshots turned to Game Boy images, but you could use it for non-King-of-the-Hill content too I guess.

#BoardGames idea: Mend

There are plenty of engine builders out there, where typically you get your engine up and running and then get to turn the crank once or twice before the game ends.

What if, instead, we had an engine maintainer?

Your economic engine would be up and running at the beginning of the game. The task is to maintain it by:

* Repairing or replacing components that wear out over time

* Performing preventive maintenance to prevent wear

* Fine-tuning the engine's efficiency

* Adapting the engine to a (relatively slowly) changing environment

* Occasionally recognizing that an entire multi-component part of your engine needs to be replaced. You'd want to cannibalize what you can to both avoid the expense of buying new things and the cost of disposing of waste; limited space means you do have to get rid of your waste.

Thoughts? Does it already exist?

President Biden cites facts that white supremacy terror is America’s greatest domestic security threat—and MAGAs lose their minds.

Here’s the thing.

I’m Muslim. I don’t feel attacked when people condemn the Taliban because Taliban do not represent Muslims and I proudly take the lead in condemning Taliban terrorism.

If you’re MAGA white and feel personally attacked when Biden condemns white supremacy terror—you are absolutely telling on yourself.
