IMO, outside of the first one, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series isn’t great.
Keep in mind I’ve only listened to the rest of the books once, and I’m entitled to be wrong.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" is praxis
There’s likely an organized campaign going on to incite you to say stuff that’s gonna get you suspended or banned (or worse). The right has mentioned the Bluesky reaction to this incident repeatedly. They’re here to find targets. Don’t let them rile you up and goad you into something you’ll regret.

Hot Take*: AI is not worth the costs, both economic and ecologic. It seems so extreme for something that not only works poorly, but everyone absolutely does not want.
*This isn’t hot take. Everyone hates it.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Something I’ve been trying to be better at is letting artists/creators I like know that I like their work.
Something I’d always struggle with was motivation, and those single positive comments helped so much. Yet, I rarely did it for others. It’s small, costs nothing, but is so important.

Roller Coaster Hot Take #1:
Top Thrill 2, despite its flaws, is a huge improvement over Top Thrill Dragster. The trains alone are more accommodating, as I can fit in them as a large bellied man.
Yes, launch 1 is weak. But 2 and 3 are amazing. And the hang time on the back spike? Glorious.

Yes. When I wrote the book in 2003, he was not as squick-inducing as he is now and/or I was more willing to overlook the squick than I would be today.
I’ve been meaning to ask: In “The Android’s Dream”, is the Nugentian cult named after former rock star/current has-been/current creep Ted Nugent? I was neighbors with him growing up in Michigan.
