…this is a thing. I’m old, but a lot of my early kid reading was novelizations of Star Trek movies and Trek tie-in novels and those were not issued in an alternate kid form. And I’m very glad about that because the “junior” concept seems really stupid and patronizing.

…fucking weeping. Robert and Rene die in a fire and Picard is looking at his photo album and I’m wrecked. Riker orders “brace for impact” as the Enterprise crashes and…and…I just can’t. But I think it’s weird that the book they’re covering is a “junior novelization” because I didn’t know that…

Basically I just want Trvmp gone and if the collateral damage of that is the entire political class going down with him, then that would be fine.

I really wish I'd been able to resist the morbid curiosity and had just not read his statement. Nothing has changed with the underlying madness of thinking that any of this is a reasonable way to bring out a debut novel.

Is this Amityville: The Ryan Reynolds? That movie is so damned stupid.

I watched that on tv in its original broadcast and I was so…not angry but just disappointed, Stephen.

When I was a kid I knew her only from an appearance on Star Trek and only by her character’s name, and then later when I started watching giallo movies where she’d appear I felt like she seemed very familiar somehow. It took me forever to realize that this was the woman in one Star Trek episode.

[shrug emoji] Who could have known? If only we’d have had some guidance from a previous text. 🙄
