Raf watched the nanotiles interlock themselves into place on the Tiny Wing's hull with more satisfaction than he'd felt in months.

Miserable months of taking scut-jobs and cryo runs, hold full of secondhand cargo and mail drums and worse, until he scraped together the credits (digital and wafer) to repair Tiny's blown jumpcore, then auxiliaries ... all while looking like a junkheap.

The last stripe filled in; orange, red, violet against the white hull. Tiny Wing was back.

Baran jolted awake, slammed his head against the light-panel's dimmed ridge, and sank back into his bunk with a groan that had zero to do with the bruise he just promised himself.

Another hag. Another memory.

The hags were supposed to be gone, damnit. The psipsych at Cygni-14 promised, put it in his record to boot. 'Memory filter successful.'

Then why did he still see that hell when he dreamed.

Mow them down. Irradiate the outposts. Leave nothing.

The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!

I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.

And it’s free for all. 🚀

Automakers are removing AM radios from electric vehicles, jeopardizing the future of over 4,000 stations. The radio industry is lobbying for legislation to mandate AM radios in vehicles, calling it essential for emergencies and public access.

A media historian looks back at the long history of car radio (our story republished by @yahoonews):

It’s officially the year of the anthology

I updated my tiny little handheld-emulation-box website with a tiny little post about how Game Dads can create time for you to play games that you wouldn't have otherwise had time to play:

https://gamedad.club/meta_timecondenser.php

Sometimes we think "I don't have time to do fun stuff," when the reality is even sadder; we DO have time, we have LOTS of time, but our time is all chopped up, like bits of string too short to be of any use, so it gets eaten up by the doomscrolling anxiety rectangle. This little post is about letting the Game Dad act as a time condenser, rescuing those useless seconds from the Feel Bad Machine and turning them into fun minutes filled with good stuff instead.

D'you remember having a good time in a mechanic's waiting room? I do, because last time I spent it playing Final Fantasy Tactics! Anyway have a gander at my silly little website lol

sweet dreams💖

When it’s October and you get to finally show off that Halloween body you’ve been working on all summer.
