went to alcatraz today. was not able to conclusively locate the secret entrance to the underground lab run by the Cult of the Beast that’s infiltrated the highest echelons of our government (to stop them from distributing soda that mutates people into radio transmitters for a signal that will awaken the long-slumbering mother of monsters beneath the earth), but did locate several promising entrance candidates for the strike team to investigate.

oh, the model industries building is a “rusted out husk” and “structurally unsound” and the public isn’t allowed inside “for their own safety”, sure. i’m sure all that loading equipment lying around is for totally innocuous purposes, and the fact that it’s right next to the powerhouse where all the pumps (repurposed for mutant soda distribution) and generators for the entire island are located- that’s a wacky coincidence, definitely.

you motherfuckers ain’t foolin’ me

@caprice-nisei-enjoyer i appreciate that you’re yes-and-ing the bit here, but the thing you don’t understand is that i am 100%* serious and these are real** problems i am dealing with. Capricornus Industries is a front for the Cult of the Beast and there is a strike team that will be raiding their secret lab under alcatraz to shut them down and prevent humanity from getting Third Impact’d by a demon or whatever. i did go to alcatraz today*** in order to scout out the layout and locate potential security vulnerabilities to exploit, and fresh local ingredients can eat my entire ass

#*exact percentage varies, #**in a world of darkness campaign i’m in where we’re all playing as our real life selves, #***in actual real life, nobody was expecting me to do this and it really was an unnecessary and expensive degree of research

Soulmate world except two people without marks decide they’re going to fake being each other’s soulmates with fake tattoos and what starts out as wacky shenanigans to reassure their families they can settle down and be happy ends up with them delving too far into the lore to make sure they get the act right and slowly piecing together, to their horror, that the whole soulmate system is a scheme of their people’s gods to make the population boom before an upcoming war.

Convertible Bed in Form of Upright Piano

snoozing peacefully in this bed when it violently snaps shut and starts playing gymnopedie no. 1 amidst the sounds of me desperately calmoring to escape

SING US A SONG YOU’RE THE PIANOBED

Sing us a song, you’re the pianobed

Both a bed and piano upright

Now you’re trapped in this mattress and melody

While Tumblr all laughs at your plight

Now Mozart and Bach, they are friends of mine

And Brahms with his sweet lullaby

But when my bed folds up tight in the dead of the night

I can’t sleep however I try

I say “Wolfgang, Johannes and Johann,

I respect all your great symphonies

But I can’t get much sleep with concertos

Being played on my head and my knees”

They let me sleep in on a Saturday

At least every once in a while

And when it gets out of tune, I can sleep until noon

A slumbering musicophile

Then the piano snaps shut, a crescendo

And the chords all resound in my ear

And it’s goodbye bedtime, and hello three-four time

And move over, Beethoven is here.

Play us a song, you’re the pianobed

I’ll be stuck in your mattress all night

So I may as well sing to your melody

While Tumblr all laughs at my plight

Just took psychic damage from reading the words “a quarter of a century ago in 1996,” and if I have to suffer, so do you.

When electronics importer Cara Leon goes missing, private investigator Sam Mujrif is hired by her sister to investigate. Cara is eight times taller than Sam, but evidence soon points to players much smaller than either of them. As Sam and his cross-scale colleagues pursue the case, it becomes apparent that Cara’s disappearance is linked to the development of technology with the potential to reshape their whole society, and radically alter the balance of power between the scales.

but it’s not the science that makes it great literature but the deep ethical questions that you can use the sci-fi conceits to address, like “would you really arrest a little guy? 🥺”

#(some other quotes from that Twitter thread to contextualise it:) #(“If it’s not real I’m not even mad‚ #killing a melon with a sword and writing a code to tell a fun story is an incredible way to spend lockdown”) #(“For context btw I have already sent this guy my nudes like‚ months ago. I’ve said we can meet up. #None of this is a ploy to get in my pants and holy shit if it was it’d be the wildest possible way of doing so”) #(“People are rediscovering this and keep retweeting it so I feel like doing another update‚ #the guy who was receiving/executing the melons is now my boyfriend. #We’ve been together about 6 months now and our conversations are still this weird about 50% of the time.”) #(though really you should read the whole thread) #(including watching the videos with sound on) #(half the thread is age-restricted for some reason‚ but if you have objections to Twitter) #((and who doesn’t)) #(you can–I just accidentally discovered–get around that by reading it through Nitter) #(that’s https://nitter.hu/TrinCyboid/status/1356496649460322304 or the Nitter instance of your choice) #(also these people are apparently doing a podcast where they watch seasons of 24 in real time and I may have to check it out)

Update: I have now listened to the first season of “24 Bauer Party People”, and it is *very* funny.

[ID a comic by Sarah Andersen called Cryptid Club has a fluffy, horned cryptid in a Santa hat talking to a mostly featureless cryptid. The fluffy one says, “I do enjoy the holidays. But not as much as Mothman.”

The minimally featured cryptid says, “…No, not as much as Mothman.” A Christmas tree is shown behind them and they look around to its other side.

Mothman, sitting on the floor, their eyes huge, their dialogue tinged in runes, screams, “LIGHT!”]
