  • Hollow corpses lay strewn about the parking lot. A dark cloud hovers over the once-cheery cheese casino. You hear the screams of the children inside, joyous yet awakened to their thirst for blood. It didn’t have to be this way. The contagion was left to grow for too long and you fear your attempt to cleanse it will only strengthen the pack. They are held here only by their loyalty to their rat god, an entity not known to stay contained for long. Distant thunder rumbles as you cross the threshold. You heft the bottle and give it what may be your final kiss. There’s no turning back now, not for either of you.




  • Rust is a programming language designed to run on crabs. It just happens to also run on computers. When rust programmers talk about the borrow checker, that’s something born directly out of having to run on crabs. It’s difficult to get the little guys to cooperate otherwise. And when they talk about rust having good error messages that’s because of the crabs too. The compiler is not just some piece of software, it’s a piece of software being run on crabs and the crabs have some measure of intuition to them. Basically what I’m saying is that carcinization applies to computer hardware.








  • A group of humans need to pass through a doorway with two doors. The leading human opens one of the doors and passes through the doorway. The next human follows them through the open doorway, and so does the next, and the one after them. The humans bunch up around the one open door, funneling themselves through it rather than opening the other door right beside it.

    Then I, the smartest and best of humans, make use of my divine and otherworldly gifts to open the other door that was right there the WHOLE TIME. Truly I am a gift upon the world. Someone should give me chocolates.
