Belated Mittenreads of 2026 thread!

Girls Against God by Jenny Hval

Witches, black metal, the early Internet, a manifesto on the value and purpose of art... all the ingredients were there but (and I cannot believe I am saying this) I think it was just too weird for me.

I still think about the conversation I had with an uber driver
Him: so what do you do
Me: I’m a video game writer
Him: wait, video games? They have writing? What do you write?
Me: you know when you open up a game and you see the words?
Him: yeah?
Me: those

The funniest/saddest reaction to this amazing article has been people going "wait, Stellaris has WRITERS?"

Yes folks, if a game has words... someone probably got paid to write them... even if that game isn't an RPG or a visual novel...

JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum?
Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked.
JRRT: What.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist". In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house." In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep." In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house. In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

lmao sometimes feels like tech people are in kindergarten tier English class!!!! We are currently paying *crazy money* for these people to realise something humanities grads understand and can wield expertly for less than the price of this bad software
resonated with me. As someone still experimenting and learning with Al filmmaking, I'm finding that generating something visually impressive is becoming easier, but creating something that actually makes people feel something is the real challenge.

Friday night with The Barnacles.

He's meeting his potential adopter tomorrow and I'm so excited for him!

I'm gonna miss him SO much but this is the gig.
A very perfect and good tabby and white cat, half grown, loafed on the back of the couch. His ears are ginormous and he's sort of in a wonky growth phase. But he's adorable.

The wee Ruby-crowned Kinglets passing through on their Fall migration. None of these birds are showing a red crown; it's often hidden, and only the males have them.
