Today's my 45th birthday, and I'm staving off feeling ancient by sharing a recent once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: next Wednesday, May 7, I'll be a contestant on Jeopardy! I still kind of can't believe it. 😱 Check www.jeopardy.com/watch for your local listing. @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

Across the land, the Nebulas are dusting off their shelves, and the Hugo Awards are awakening from their year-long slumber, and writers everywhere are beginning to remember that, yes, they did write things during this awful year and yes they DO deserve awards for this! And so they scurry off to their newsletters and their barren blogospheres and their half-assed websites and write posts like this one, in the slim hope that people out there have recognized their labors and appreciated them and are willing to tell their friends about their books.

Would you rather fight 30 toddler sized lightsabers or one Death Star sized toddler?
Y'ever think about that insanely stupid bit in Attack of the Clones where the Jedi kids are training with toddler lightsabers? And yet the kids are helpless in Episode 3 when Anakin purges the temple. Go grab those lil' baby lightsabers, kids! It's like 30 on 1. That's approaching a fair fight.

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

In a world replete with dystopian qualities, it’s great that there’s always a new level of vileness to sink to.
Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.

For a few years, I did work as the IT guy for a small research program specializing in International Humanitarian Law, which is the law of armed conflict, based largely upon the Geneva Conventions. Even that small exposure via osmosis is enough to know that all of this is war crimes.

Nobody asked for Andor and everyone asked for Book of Boba Fett. Which was better?
"No one asked for TV Show/Movie." I hate when I see this comment. No one asked for TOS. No one asked for Star Wars. No one asked for NCIS: XXXXXX. Sorry if it's not something that interests you, but fuck off with the arrogant presumption that YOU know what everyone wants.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
