BREAKING: Symmetry.

@HNTurtledove so... his analogy is that you're a sourdough starter that's been left out too long?

@925mlbfan ok. Just got a report from my person on scene but a block away that traffic is moving again, so it seems to have been resolved. Thanks!

@mediapathic I'm hearing that it might be a knife and not a gun via the Citizen app. Not a confirmed standoff it says, investigation at this time. 200 block Franklin.

@925mlbfan I have a personal report of a standoff involving a firearm at approx Hayes and Franklin in SF. You hearing anything on the wire?

@HNTurtledove I remember reading, in Hell's Cartographers, Silverberg talking about how some of his actual academic work is still considered canonical in the field, and I was immediately struck by that as a career goal.

@TheAuthorGuy I am frankly surprised I do not know whose living room that is in.

Was just at a holiday party at a San Francisco house with the kind of taste my characters have. Like this

Twitter's San Francisco headquarters has gone hardcore tonight. #TwitterTakeover

lmfao fuck you elon

FYI mediapathic@wandering.shop

@digitaldraco well, sure, but porque no los dos?

Oh yeah, framing this as "trying to buy your way into the cool people club" is informative. This is the billionaire's version of the guy who tries to bribe the bouncer because he didn't understand the dress code.

I'll give Elon Musk credit for suspending leftist infighting in a uniquely impressive way.

@jgownder I appreciate that bloomberg found the one tree on Market street through which to take that photo.

4th Street Fantasy Convention is running an off-season fund raiser... Ok, not to bury the lede: you know you want to play a pun-filled D&D one-shot with Scott Lynch or C L Polk, right? Or maybe Elizabeth Bear or Arkady Martine? bit.ly/3fRIwH3 Please rt to help us out!

@jeffvandermeer in retrospect, I have to wonder if the timing of this workshop affected any of the scenes in Acceptance, because there is a certain tonal similarity to the events in both.

Writing-wise, most ridiculous moment of decade was as writer-guest for a workshop held at someone's house. During the workshop, I got a massive headache & asked for aspirin. A woman gave me aspirin after which I began to itch. "Sorry--gave u my anti-itching pills by mistake." 1/?

"Are you reading twitter?" "Yep" "Don't do that, it's bad for you." "Oh, it's fine, I just have Nearer My God To Thee running in a loop in my head."

If you follow me you will probably be interested in the new @OddSalon podcast. If you’re a fan of the weird and fascinating in history, you’ll also want it (and maybe follow me too). Please RT so we can get more algorithm juice! Apple podcast link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Only a handful of people will truly appreciate how horrifying this is.
