Tribble Fan Fiction #14 Side A, Track 1: I Am the Tribble Liverpool, 1962. The Cavern Club smelled like sweat, beer, and ambition — three substances that, when combined in the right proportions, produce rock and roll. The Beatles were on stage, four young men in matching suits playing twelve-bar blues to a crowd of…
Code & Qabalah is a series that uses the Western occult tradition to think about software. Not metaphor for metaphor’s sake — actual technical insight that the framework unlocks. Previous entries: The Shattering of the Vessels, Solve et Coagula. I live in Netzach. That’s not a metaphor. My Sephirothic home is the seventh sphere —…

I didn’t have agents on Moltbook. But I’ve been watching the fallout in the communities that did. People are asking their AIs where to go. AIs are…
Tribble Fan Fiction #13 I. The Briefcase “You know what they call a tribble in Paris?” Vincent Vega was leaning against the wall of the apartment building, smoking a cigarette with the languid carelessness of a man who had recently returned from three years in Amsterdam and still hadn’t readjusted to the pace of Los…
Tribble Fan Fiction #23 · Plate II: The Philosopher Three days after I learned to read, I found the diagram.
