Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

FML #3 is so wonderful. I love these characters, I love the emotion in the story, I love the art, all of it. If you’re not reading it already do yourself a solid and start from issue #1. Thank you to the whole team that brings this to life! #FMLcomix

@scalzi.com, are you aware of any weirdness with the whatever.com RSS feed? I realized I hadn’t seen the last comfort watch and when I checked the site saw that I’ve actually missed several updates! The last one in my feed is Day 29, “The Nice Guys”

The demise of the #StarWars Galactic Starcruiser is not a surprise for a myriad of reasons, but certainly far swifter than I think anyone anticipated. I feel for the under-appreciated castmembers who poured their hearts into making the experience the best it could be.
