I think about this a lot

This thing where kidnapping and/or killing heads of state is the go-to strategy for foreign policy sure does open up some wild possibilities.

Behold the will of the American people. 🙄

I prefer my spiritual guidance without sadism.

Not an infallible guide, but I think less fallible than some others.

Writing. It's always amazing to me how well some people can evoke something that they're utter incapable of embodying in the world. 🤣🤣🤣

Writing good romance is proof of mastering the craft.

Jefferson Mays is a gift.

Sad but accurate

In prose, no. But some folks don’t know about the One Ship extras on Amazon.

Yeah. No idea what The Expanse rpg is doing in there, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So many more important things in the world right now, and my attention keeps getting pulled to the president wearing cheap baseball caps in all the pictures I've seen of him lately.

Is that a weird sartorial choice? Is his scalp sloughing off? These are the things I wonder about...

Very much a B-side.

We wrote the story. It's in the universe. But it's meant as a hook to launch people on their own RPG campaigns, so the story itself doesn't braid in with the books.

If you haven't read the hidden semi-canon Expanse short story The Last Flight of the Cassandra, it's apparently part of a humble bundle right now along with a gazillion indie comics (?!).

Go for the fiction, stay for the charity (Comic Book Defense Fund).

So prediction markets really are just insider trading platforms?

“… the witness who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her was interviewed by the FBI four times. If the witness wasn’t credible, a second, third and fourth FBI interview probably wouldn’t have been warranted.”

I also like "bullshit engines"

AI hallucinations -- still the weirdest fig-leaf synonym for "errors" -- are fundamental to how LLMs function.

When errors are fundamental to your tool, you shouldn't use it in any cases where errors have adverse consequences.

This is becoming my Carthago delenda est.

The Trump Administration: Abuser culture all the way down.

Trans people are not the problem.

If you are concerned about trans people, I'd recommend taking a moment to think about who told you that was a critical issue. They may not have your best interests at heart.

People being needlessly cruel to trans folks? Now that is a problem.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

I have heard that TCM is airing Gaslight opposite the state of the union address.

If true, hahahahahah...

A) This series of books is screaming for a streaming adaptation. b)As an action aficionado I’ll say regardless of how you feel about it being a legitimate adaptation, Breck Eisner is a master of action geography. There’s some complicated stuff here, and at no point does it devolve into choppy cuts.

I try to be kind. I regret those times when I have been needlessly cruel.

Then some rando treats me with contempt, and I turn into a raging asshole and I don’t even feel bad.

I guess I feel a little bad for not feeling bad, but…

Seems legit.

I've said it before: the defining characteristic of white supremacists is that you wouldn't want to fuck them.

"Right Wing Bed Death" is the name of my next band

Back when I was working tech support, my girlfriend (now my wife) sent what was supposed to be a private email to daniel@[workdomian.com].

My address was abraham@[workdomain.com].

The other Daniel in question told her I sounded very nice.
