In sci-fi, medicine is either based on doodads, or based on goop. It’s one or the other.

Dear Abby,
I was gracious when some people in my book group opted for audiobooks over paper copies. But now they’re making a stink over my choice of non-traditional book format!*

It’s like my friend used to say, these violent delights just keep going on forever. Shame about what happened to him.

Evil SciFi author: in my book I invented the Torment Nexus because I wish there was so much torment we needed a whole nexus for it.

I like how Adams still got 0.3% of the vote. Corrupt as hell, no party backing, straight up dropped out of the race and endorsed another candidate. Pure distilled incumbency nets you 0.3% I guess.

The spirit tethered/untethered to the body
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Floating High Jump badge is called "Luigi" internally. This means the playable Luigi has to have a different name - "PlayerLuigi". Whenever Luigi wears the badge, it is actually PlayerLuigi wearing Luigi.

While details about the profession remain scarce, the consensus view is that “poasting” was a low-status job involving the handling of mercury, benzene, or similar toxic substances.

Wild mistletoe! It was easy to spot because the host plant, a buckeye, had already dropped its leaves for the year.

“You don’t have to do this”, ok actually I do tho, I do. At least until the witch who cursed me decides I learned an important lesson. And buddy, I do NOT have a good track record of learning lessons.

Back in college, I was ordering a sandwich at the deli counter. The girl behind the counter asked what cheese I wanted and when I said provolone, she replied “why provolone when we can all prov together?” with the grimace of someone who knows it’s a cheesy line but is compelled to say it anyway.
do you ever have things that someone has said to you that live forever in your head (non-serious edition)? some older boomer hippie guy said “hahmmus gives you fahts” to me 26 years ago at a free fridge and i think of it every fucking single time i buy hummus to this day.

I don’t know why volcanos are always anthropomorphized as being angry. They probably love exploding! I bet it’s like how old-timey steam train conductors feel when they get to blow the horn.

As someone who used to be an engineer but now is not, I can assure you that my brain is fully normal, probably.
Think about how for decades, one of the ingredients of a crackpot was: retired engineer.
Retired engineers, for *generations* have been a fertile ground for crackpot theories in everything.
They get that golden watch and bam, incoherent manifesto about quantum archeology inbound.

I appreciate the logic behind the machete order, but it severely underestimates how much pod racing whips ass when you are nine years old.
