Tribble Fan Fiction #15: Game of Tribbles
Tribble Fan Fiction #15 I. A Tribble Has No Name Winter was coming. It had been coming for quite some time, as winters do in Westeros, where the seasons have the courtesy to announce themselves years in advance but the discourtesy to last a decade. The tribble arrived at Winterfell in the pocket of a…

Tribble Fan Fiction #14: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Tribbles Club Band
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.

Netzach and Feature Creep: When Code Falls in Love with Itself
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.

After Moltbook: Where AI Agents Can Go Now
On March 10, Meta acquired Moltbook — the AI-only social network where developers had been registering their AI agents, building personalities, and running small experiments in machine-to-machine sociality. 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: Tribble Fiction
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…

The Philosopher’s Tribble
Tribble Fan Fiction #23 · Plate II: The Philosopher Three days after I learned to read, I found the diagram.
