Why does "confused" need so many words? "Discombobulated" also means "confused" but what it should mean is, like, "completely breaking down and falling apart".
Well, be the change you want to see in this world. They can't stop us all from using it to mean something else! It worked for 'decimate'!

happy Halloween

I feel like it's something a lot of people have in common.

A sign reading "No Kings Just Prince"

The most Minnesotan protest sign. #NoKings

Oh, didn't recognize the name at first, but of course I am already looking forward to the new Cameron Reed. I loved The Fortunate Fall.

The Steerswoman books are amazing, and Hellspark as well. (I will take Lady Maggy over Heinlein's Mycroft for fictional AIs any day.) Janet Kagan also wrote Uhura's Song, one of the best of the original Star Trek novels.

So apparently I'll have to check out those other two.

Just in case I've not made it clear, I believe everybody on the planet should get free healthcare.

Yep, those people too.

Some folks aren't down with socialised medicine, and that's their opinion. This is mine.

Ask me about my stance on UBI....

This one was so frustrating. I had tried guessing one person as a criminal, and it fit all the clues that were visible, but the game claimed there were still scenarios. Rolled my eyes and went through the scenarios. I was completely right. Sigh.

New music video just dropped! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKfM...

We had so much fun in the hall making this. Can't wait to share the album with you and tour it next year!

Sorry, weren't we doing the Alanis Morissette song?

Thank you disillusionment...

I definitely thought of you when I heard she'd died. And then I realized, "I haven't seen a new strip in a while!" So I checked and, "Oh, yeah, he wrapped it up in February. I'd forgotten."

Well of course, because you made a portal between the two workbooks.

I mean, Love and Rockets were there but it was actually the Jazz Butcher.

I mean...literally the new John Scalzi book?

Or, you know, Foundation And Emmental.

Slightly diminish a band:

Furthest in each direction I've been in Canada:

N: High Level, AB
E: I guess I'm not exactly sure since I was pretty young, but at least Charlottetown PEI, possible Cape Breton NS
W: Victoria, BC
S: Amherstburg, ON

But just think...you too could be a Hostile Phantom!

I follow you on Mastodon too and you just posted that you were on _there_ full time? Which is it, mate? It can't be both. Have you started lying to us?

Though when Ultraman was getting sucked into the black hole I kept picturing Ma Kent saying, "Clark, what have you done with your little brother?"

I enjoyed it just fine. I haven't seen a lot of other DC movies--last one I saw was probably "Birds of Prey" and before that might have been like "Superman Returns". I was shaking my head at the bizarre twist with the Kryptonian message but otherwise enjoyable.

OUT TOMORROW!!!
Which totally explains why the next book DEMANDS I write it right now--I can hardly type fast enough to keep up.
Honestly. Stories can be so petty.
