Literally the funniest moment in SA2 and it's not even close

I'm making baked pasta (currently in the oven), and I found out partway through that we didn't have any pasta sauce. So my partner and I ran to the store, and I emphasized to them that we needed to hurry; I was under the impression they would be the hold-up.

But then they picked up the pace, and I realized I had to do that stereotypical thing of speedwalking every few paces just to catch back up.

If you every think the death of an animal is funny or worthy of celebration, then you are automatically not okay in my book. The same goes if you don't try to avoid hitting animals on the road or if you go out of your way to kill an animal. Yes, this includes spiders, wasps, house centipedes, and mosquitoes. No, it doesn't matter if you're afraid of them. You can be afraid of things without wishing death on them.

I would definitely remember Cowboy Bebop more fondly if "Hard Luck Woman" were the final episode. That would earn it a spot as one of my favorite endings of a TV show. But as it stands, it's just a pretty good space western that I sadly don't like as much as I like Firefly. Seriously, "Hard Luck Woman" was such a good episode, and it would have been an amazing finale. But no, we had to let Spike see Julia again (which, in my opinion, was a horrible choice for his character).

Narcissus: Oppressed or Mentally Ill?

I'm sure most people reading this are familiar with the story of Narcissus and Echo. The general structure is that the handsome Narcissus wa

Narcissus is one of my favorite characters—and there's no secret about it—so I'm happy to share the results of my research into how his story has evolved and changed over time!

Generative AI has produced a solution to Erdos Problem 1196. After over 50 years of work by mathematicians, a Gen AI model trained on that half-century of data stumbled into a complete version and is now receiving all the credit. Because of how gen AI works, our solution does not cite previous literature and give due credit to the people whose research made the current solution possible.

I only have an undergraduate degree in mathematics, but I finally understand a little of how Lee Sedol felt when retired from playing Go. Mathematics is obviously very important, but it's easy to lose enthusiasm for the field I love when people are using GPT models to finish off proofs like this.

Picus: an Elegy

I'm so glad to announce the publication of my novelette!

Picus is a Latian prince and the only mortal son of an overbearing god. Despite his fear, he keeps his relationship with the nymph Canens a secret from his father’s meddling eyes. But when his father gathers a group of suitors for him to choose from, he has a choice: does he protect his safety, or does he protect his love? A novelette retelling Ovid in the tragic tradition.

You can buy it from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Google Play Books.

[rainefallfish-deactivated202604]

Barnes & Noble has decided to impose a $14.99 minimum cost for print books. I won't charge that, and my book will come off sale on My 14th. This change is abysmal, and it only serves to hurt people who are publishing shorter fiction styles. I hope they reconsider. You can still buy it on Amazon.

Vanished

Sheriff Kenobi ground his teeth and stared into the sunrise. He fiddled with the letter he found at the station, feeling the rough paper scrape the dust from his fingertips. According to the neatly-written message, Skywalker had run off in the middle of the night to track a band of separatist merchants through the wild country. According to the message, the deputy would likely be back before the sheriff even knew he was gone. Under no circumstances did Kenobi need to worry. But there was a reason Kenobi was sheriff rather than Skywalker: his worries were usually right.

This wasn’t the first time his deputy had gone rogue. Kenobi had—several times—reminded Skywalker to control his temper and impatience, and Skywalker had—several times—promised to be better. At least this time Skywalker had taken his saber rather than his revolver; the civilized choice perhaps reflected a maturation of the youth’s mind. Or it might reflect an absence of organization the prior evening.

The sheriff knew he should stay in town. The war was getting worse, and the townsfolk weren’t able to protect themselves. Even if nothing happened, his departure could be seen as a lapse in duty. It could make people nervous. The army couldn’t take the burden, what with the raids and all. Though, as the thought crossed his mind, Kenobi wasn’t sure they should. A sheriff was a symbol of safety, but a soldier was a symbol of war.

All these reasons flew through Kenobi’s mind. All of them were very good. Duty and wisdom instructed that he stay, but—he realized reluctantly—his attachment to the kid demanded that he go.

The sheriff muttered to himself as he turned towards the fort on the hill. Major Cody could stand to lend another favor.
