But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark.

He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

@scalzi.com Reading "The Old Man's War" series and I LOVE what you did with "The Last Colony" and "Zoey's Story." Brilliant! Not finished with "Zoey" yet, but looking forward to the rest of the series. Well done, sir!

When you really need to be President to not go to jail... So you sell the country to a tech billionaire. And his human shield kid wipes boogers on a desk that was a gift from Queen Victoria in 1880.

Your Daily Affirmation:

I admire the truth tellers, the courageous, the forthright, and the honorable and I endeavor to model my own behavior on theirs. Even as I prepare waffles to stash around the house for when the fuckweasels come for me.

A screenshot of a heartfelt tribute written by Kyle MacLachlan, reflecting on his friendship with David Lynch. The text describes Lynch as an intuitive and creative individual who profoundly impacted MacLachlan's career and life, mentioning their collaborations on "Blue Velvet" and "Twin Peaks." The message honors Lynch's unique perspective on life and concludes with a personal note of gratitude and loss.

A moving tribute for a brilliant filmmaker.
