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.

@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...

Food company profit increases since inflation peaked:

Cheesecake Factory +471%
Cal-Maine +268%
Jack In The Box +213%
Chipotle +110%
Starbucks +47%
Sysco +43%

How much did they collectively spend on stock buybacks? Over $10 billion.

They used inflation as cover to get rich.

Nick Hanauer wrote a good article on the greed of price gouging corporations.

Greedy CEOs have milked the average American household for $12,000 since the pandemic. As a businessman, I can explain how they’re doing it.

Not even kidding, though: our homes are our habitats. Maybe the arrangement, amount, or condition of the furniture is somehow impeding you, be it by blocking natural light, hampering movement, or what have you, and (re)moving it could help.

And then realise that the problem is systemic as fengshui encompasses the way things are arranged globally. This is why a lot of buildings in Hong Kong have massive holes in them; to let the qi flow through. Or to let dragons fly through, I don’t know. My interest in fengshui is purely cultural, not practical.

@bitterdonald people complained and Kickstarter worked out their problems, so I just sent a page for people to click on. Click on it, and it should feed to my.bookfunnel.com
in reply to Michael W Lucas:flan_set_fire:

aaaah that's why... Apparently Kickstarter sent me an email in the short time my domain expired when I was on vacation, so it bounced and they stopped trying to send me stuff.

I'm sure this is covered in the book somewhere under "don't bloody let your domains expire"

in reply to Michael W Lucas:flan_set_fire:

it's ok. When you put the inevitable errata on your website, you can add a footnote to Chapter 4 that just says "if you let the domain expire, life is gonna suck. Don't do that."
in reply to Bitterdonald

@bitterdonald I logged in to BookFunnel and #RYOMS wasn't listed. Then I clicked on the link from the patronizer post on TiltedWindmillPress and then selected the ePUB and PDF downloads. After that, I refreshed my bookfunnel page and it showed up in "My Library" with the other books. Now I have 350 pages of...well, I haven't read it yet, so it might be almost certain doom, it might not.
