What will win the blurb wars? Is Bluesky going to succeed? Dunno.
@ologies.bsky.social I bet you're hearing a lot that people thought the platypus picture of Dr Hawke was you. Definite pseudo-doppelganger going on, plus a heaping helping of "ooohh Alie got to hold a Platy? Envy at level 13".
Someday, maybe you will - make sure it's a female, though, okay?

It's a horror movie, but the most horrific part is the abysmally ignorant "science" they use to explain pretty much everything in it that's out of the ordinary. Hoo boy.

Never felt more on Daniel's team than his justified rant against those walking rectums at the storage place. They are the kind of selfish jerks who leave one square on the TP roll.

So disheartening the hear of the shenanigans and outright robbery going on with you book. Gonna get me that audio book immediately or as immediately as I can in the US. They're best when you read them, especially if I can hear a supressed giggle.

So what I'm to understand is that instead of imagining I hear A PASSION FOR PASSION in @alicefraser.bsky.social 's voice, I can buy a recording of her actually reading it with a professional accurate Australian accent rather than the, well, frankly, bad version my brain attempts? Gimme.

@howtosurvive.bsky.social We played a game like the "smear" game you described, but maybe because it was a catholic grade school (??) we called it "Kill the Guy with the Ball". Basically a society gone mad and the have nots hunting the haves game...you know, religious stuff.

Re: Shape of Water
I watched this on a flight on Cathay from Indonesia (to um, New Jersey?) and no censorship, just a weak warning ala "check if kids are looking over your shoulder at this". No such warning on any of the murder-based flicks I watched, however.

Having listened to virtually every one of your eps it occurred to me that maybe one of the reasons certain factions of society are so against scientists is because they envy, because their own lives are lesser, the degree to which scientists love the things they do.

@alicefraser.bsky.social Re: choking out with thighs. I worked with a guy who had a side business where he was videoing women choking out men with their crotches. He was actually rendered unconcious at times. Quit his day job for the biz 'cause kinks pay better than IT I guess.

A thing I hate when I've got the windows open and the fan going: People smoking those little cigars that smell like burning cat litter with cologne on for flavor.
Can't throw water on 'em like amorous racoons, can I?

In decades of listening, the only bias I've ever heard from NPR is a bias against falsehoods. Maybe if the whiney man-baby feels like they're against him, he should try saying a few things that aren't outright lies.

I think another very good reason Brandon Sanderson is having a popularity surge, at least for me, is that NerdForge (Martina and Hansi) did a huge rebinding of all of his Stormlight Archive books.
