I think they hired someone whose previous job titles suggest this would be an upward move but they could get him cheap as a result. That’s the story I would give them to tell the investors if I was giving them stories to tell.

I was in the room.

Also, a bit more teaser.

So it is. Well, that would be a way to make sure you’re not overshadowed by anyone else’s announcement.

But what if instead of doing that, they hire someone with exactly zero relevant experience? That would also be “making a hire” and “filling the position”.

This is fantastic because my backlog is overflowing so I can’t wait to not watch this, like I didn’t watch it the first time.

For those who don’t believe I’m actually working on the book, I’ve also been talking with a documentary film maker about a film they want to do on the industry. I sent them a link to the WIP. Response: “Wowwww, I’ve only browsed it and I am already HOOKED.”

So I guess I better keep going.

Somehow omitted: Shadowrun for Windows Vista.

And then once he’s done he can run for the Senate again.

You may enjoy the sections of the book about Shadowrun. It shows up in a few contexts.

The people still there try to memory-hole those contributions every day, but one could wonder why there has never been a sequel. Answer: because I’m no longer there to drag it across the line.

“Granted, the franchise is in a stronger place now” YOU’RE WELCOME!

You clearly angered the gods in a past life.

Funny. I saw this and didn’t realize it was you speaking and nearly replied by saying you have better firsthand knowledge of the dev process than me.

I need to get back to cranking pages. Once that happens I’ll know better when the book will come out.

Aside: we did meet when you were at FASA.

Do you have this much animosity toward any other PACs? Or is there perhaps something (((specific))) about AIPAC that bothers you?

I agree with this but also: when they do the thing we want, we need to tell them they did good, so they know what good looks like and maybe even do that again.

I’ve been highly critical of the Democratic opposition. This is the correct approach.

I look forward to your BSG book, being maybe the only person alive who liked the ending. Endings are HARD.

I was a Chief Legal Officer for 16 years. Absolutely true, except in 2026 fewer cigarettes.

Confirmed.

I sometimes wonder why, when I haven’t even done anything stupid today.

Doesn't it. A friend suggested this probably emanates from a consituent whose kid did something stupid. That tracks.

Wilful blindness is equivalent to knowledge as a matter of criminal law, as your username suggests you would maybe know, but it is odd to see that standard in a non-criminal statute.

Broad enough to blow out any state that might think the 10th Amendment exists, that's for sure.

It has very strong Do Something! energy.

Nobody here said any of this will actually work. I absolutely think he's stupid enough to try everything I said. As for whether there will be a judgment saying he did it wrong, 100%. Then what happens next is the question.

I have a rule that statutes whose names are concocted to make a cutesy acronym are always going to be hot garbage. I'll let you decide here. It's short enough that I won't summarize.

But that was first term stuff.

She's not going to need it anymore because she won't have the fuckbed.

Big of you to think that'll matter to Trump.
