14 Million Books Later, Jim Butcher Thinks His Wizard Detective Needs a Hug

Butcher's Cinder Spires steampunk novels!! So good. The Aeronaut's Windlass is the first one.

What game?

I loved that movie

Ughhhh, can we not?

oh my gosh I’m in a Star Wars visual guide, with the lines and labels and everything! A childhood dream come true! 🥰

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

I mean, interested...!

Wintertime sky just after sunset. The sky is a gradient of pale gold to lavender to purple to violet. Leafless trees are silhouetted against the gradient.

One of the few good things about this time of year is the albedo, and getting the occasional lavender sky.

This happened to me on an audio conference call once.

Big company boss guy: "So moving forward, what are the plans for (my specific job)."

I unmute my mic and immediately my cat pipes up. "Mrrrrrow?"

Did much the same thing, till I remembered I missed @nameshiv.bsky.social and he was over here. I recommend his Rice Truck saga if you've not read it yet. Crazy family lore.

Janeway, like all of us, sits at her desk, staring intently at a small device in her hands.

YALL!! VOTE!!

Here's the Biden story that should be on the front page. Ten years ago, if we got $300 million for something like this, we in the climate community would've had a ticker tape parade in Lower Manhattan.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Wake up babe, Jorts is on Blue Sky
