I read 8 books in 1 day and 5 the following day once. Admittedly this was when books were shorter. It was the first 13 books in this series: Fun stuff, fairly light, but Tubb creates a fairly plausible universe.

The only really good reason is the first. There’s something about tools, but that’s not important right now.

What happened to my character in Soulframe? She wasn’t exactly an oil painting, but now she looks like Matt Gaetz’s uglier little sister.

Ranking Star Wars is trending, so here’s my take:
1. Knights of the Old Republic so good it spawned an entire MMORPG
2. Rogue One
3. The Empire Strikes Back
4. The Force Awakens
5. The Last Jedi
6. The Old Republic — huge ‘be the Jedi/Sith’ story
7. A New Hope

Our biasses are generally trained, and that’s what foreign actors are doing to US voters. Another really bad example ↓

Irony is telling people to go back to where they come from while waving a flag that stood for continuing to bring their ancestors (as slaves) to where you’re waving the flag.

Someone called this ↓ “tree maintaining”. It’s by Lake Superior, which was once surrounded by trees, until people cut them all down. This ↓ is like looking at Earth from space and seeing only one patch of green, which won’t be enough long before we’ve cut it all down. #weAreNotMaintaining

‘American Christian’ isn’t an oxymoron. The real oxymorons are phrases like ‘good, God-fearing Christian.’ They worship a being whose defining method is mass violence, and the psychology that keeps people loyal to that is this ↓ It’s hardly surprising that many end up messed up.

Crazy that anyone would listen to someone who would have them pray to a mass murderer and use this ↓ to enforce that, let alone have any positive regard for that person.

If you went to the past and changed the future just by being there, and had one more trip, what do you know well enough to develop it much earlier to improve the world, and when would any prerequisites be in place? I’ll start… 1/2

Paramount/Skydance is dropping hundreds of millions on a 2-hour Star Trek movie… when the same cash could remaster Voyager—131 hours of their best content—and somehow they think their streaming service will survive? 🤦

There seem to be only two possible reasons for his resistance to this:
1) The obvious
2) He copied Epstein’s blackmail information, which becomes useless (or even a legal problem if he used it) if what’s fundamentally the same information becomes public.
My money is on both.

So much for marriage being an equal partnership. We get Gambit now, but have to wait for Rogue. If you think that was a coin flip, then you don’t have a clue how deep sexism goes, particularly in the entertainment industry.

City of Heroes. It shut down for a few years, but it’s back now. Easily the best MMORPG for teaming up, period—and the costume creator is still unmatched. If I hadn’t played it to death back then, I’d still be playing today. Some of the new servers are surprisingly active.
