I wish writers would stop writing what they know. The author’s alter ego as protagonist, a main character who’s a writer – it’s so oh-no-here-we-go-again unimaginative. This book was almost good. Inside it, a great short story is waiting to get out.

And when you try to schedule adequate coverage, you're considered wasteful.

I tried to see if I could find this as a sticker because it's extremely relevant to a good friend's workplace, so I tried searching "nogamejerry stickers". Google served me "Tom and Jerry stickers". Fuck you Google.

My third observation from DNC is something many apparently missed. I learned that some networks did not cover this brief appearance. Life-long Republican and TV host Ana Navarro delivered a blistering skewering of Trump in her very brief remarks, a mini-speech

If you missed it, I'll post link to it

Are folks leaving Twitter again? Neat! Not sure what’s happening, but if you’re new here, welcome!

My name is Veronica, I explain retro and Linux things on YouTube and a Fediverse-joined video service called PeerTube. You can follow and comment on my videos right from Mastodon/etc by following @veronicaexplains.

I joined the fediverse after Musk said he’d buy Twitter, so like 20 years now? Anyway, there’s life after Twitter, I’ve experienced it, so welcome!

#welcome #linux #retrocomputing

It's because most of us are tired of using big social media companies. Mastodon is different and better.

If your hero expects you to serve as an ablative surface between themselves and the consequences of their actions, they do not deserve to be your hero

I understand the context, but man this also serves as writing advice.

@dysfun I mean, this is also just standard arms race stuff and it happens all the time in real life. In Star Trek, shields gave a certain kind of protection that provided an expectable rate of narrative tension. The Borg weren't an alpha quadrant species and had weapons that shields didn't handle, and thus the debacle at Wolf 359. So ships were designed differently to handle the threat, and "Oh, we just fixed the shields" is both boring and suggests redesign wasn't necessary.

@JMMaok @james I like the notion, in theory; I guess as a practical matter, I'd be worried about 'politicizing' the LOC. What we've seen so far of Nazi dinguses trying to turn libraries into a new front in the culture war disgusts me, and I'd hate to see Heritage asshats set their sights on the LOC...

Does this cartoonist not know the difference between eggs and embryos? Or am I missing something?

I can get this printed on a yard sign, but will my neighbors get the joke, even this old joke?
