@theauthorguy.bsky.social hey, just finished Anima Rising. Very entertaining even if you ended it very differently than you normally do. Last few chapters were very strange! BTW have you read Crowley’s Ka? Lots of great crow and raven content!!

I predict if a National Guard or Marines don't shoot someone "by accident" or because of misinterpreting an attack, Felon47 will order them to shoot someone.

🇪🇸 LaLiga — Tajon Buchanan came off the bench in the 64th minute for Villarreal this afternoon, scoring the match-winner against Barcelona in a 3-2 final!
Buchanan's goal means the Yellow Submarine could still finish level on points with fourth-placed Bilbao.

Shot Attempts is a dumb, meaningless stat. High danger chances are the only ones that matter. Other than total flukes but that is not something you can control. #leafs

It was brilliant, as was the book. Very thought provoking, but also very funny and touching. Can’t wait for what’s bubbling inside Daryl’s brain/code right now for his next novel…
So many characters... I had to throw a lifeline to the readers!
So I got this lovely book by @darylwriterguy.bsky.social at the local library.
I think this is the best way of introducing the characters I've seen so far.

The funniest author out there, and also a beautiful writer. This is unique historical fiction. Also I loved Vienna so the setting is a bonus.

@darylwriterguy.bsky.social hey Daryl. Love the new book. You have one line where you call alcohol a “performance dehancing drug”. Did you know that studies have shown it makes you better at programming? Look up the Balmer Peak. It inhibits the PFC. PS it makes me better at solving word puzzles :)

Still crazy to me that Halifax has an operational rail line running from its suburbs to the heart if downtown with no level crossings, and it's not used for commuter rail.

The race for an open seat in the Wisconsin Supreme Court “is now a proxy battle for whether the American government at every level can be bought by oligarchs,” Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, said.

Tuesday’s election, as the only statewide race in the country before November, is a crucial test for the growing backlash against the Trump Administration’s agenda.

I was in emergency a few years ago on the bed next to Daniel Baldwin, who got an infected Canada flag tattoo while making a movie in New Brunswick. He was very nice and had some great stories about casual drug use.
“The Baldwins” purports to pull back the curtain and reveal the real life that happens behind the scrim of scandal and celebrity. What it truly offers is unsettling, forced cheer.
The Unsettling Cheer of “The Baldwins”
Alec Baldwin’s new married-with-children reality show is full of forced merriment. But tragedy lurks beneath the surface.
