Extremely clever guys, but both of them are terrible writers of fiction.

Against my better judgement, I started reading Project Hail Mary. It might be the most β€œpublished as a novel but intended as a movie treatment” thing I’ve ever read. I’m definitely not the first person to make this comparison, but Andy Weir is for astro-physics what Dan Brown is for history.

God I love watching local news in a hotel room, I’m in San Francisco and they’re doing a story about a Taco Bell Cantina opening at Fisherman’s Wharf and it ended with one anchor saying to the other, β€œWe’ve gotta check that out”

Getting knocked out by a non-league team actually makes Palace’s FA Cup win all the more impressive because it proves that we’re still a small club. We’re worse than non-league but we managed to win the FA Cup?! Magic. #cpfc

Two Months After Firing Over Charlie Kirk Comments, Ghost Of Yotei Dev Blames Harassment Campaign, Not β€˜Bad Joke’ "I really don’t want this to happen to anyone else, because I feel like with the state of everything, it will absolutely happen to other people," says Drew Harrison

For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.

She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

Bussy Master: Count Fuckula's Cum Castle

Just randomly scrolling through the Steam release calendar trying to see if there's anything else I've missed, and...

Y'know what, I gotta give props to a title that gave me pause for a second, just to process it.

@mrbasilpesto.bsky.social i feel like you’re the man for this query: my local used bookshop has a copy of Higashino’s β€˜A Death in Tokyo’ and Isaka’s β€˜The Mantis’—both $5 each. Are either of these worth picking up?/do I need to read the other novels in their respective series’ to enjoy them?

A drawing of ET waving at us on the cardboard packaging for a 1980s product called "E.T. Punch Balls"

As this is a repost of a Feb 2023 tweet of mine, found here https://x.com/DemonTomatoDave/status/1623464715077795840?s=19 , I have taken this photo from the No Context E.T. account who posted it there, and who originally I retweeted.
