If you're free this weekend, I'm having a flag burning party at the nearest ICE facility.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that readsβ€”

β€œHEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.”

Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?"
Me: "That's the documentation deliverable."
Manager: "What's the status of that?"
Me: "We're halfway there"
Manager: "Why is progress so slow?"
Me: "You fired Tommy"
Manager: "So?"
Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

I pre-ordered a signed copy and the ebook. I've also already read the book because I have an ARC.

I agree that it's not humorous science fiction. Though Ran does add a lot of deadpan comic relief.

I'm about 3/4 through (I won an advance reader copy via Goodreads) and it's pretty accessible. There are some expected references from previous books, but it stands pretty well on its own.

I switched from Mint back to Fedora and everything just...works? Even the fingerprint reader!

I remember a not-too-distant past where you had to compile your kernel, spend 3 months fucking with video card drivers, and manually edit LILO boot sequences.

A Czech version of John Scalzi's Starter Villain with the Czech translated to English. 

It reads: 

Villain Easily and Quickly
"We run a slightly different family business..."

I like translating these covers back to English.

My name is so common I'm effectively un-googleable, and that's the way I like it.

I hadn't realized I won the Goodreads giveaway, but I just received an advance reader copy of The Shattering Peace by @scalzi.com. I can't wait to start reading it.

We've had similar weather here for a couple of weeks. Stay hydrated and take electrolytes.

It's tough coming home and not being greeted by my cat. It didn't really hit me until I got home. He's been a part of my life for the last 13 years.

My dad took good care of him, but I wish I could have been there in his final days.

This little guy passed away last night in his sleep. I took him in after my grandpa died in 2012. I'm unsure of his exact age, but he was around 16-18 years old.

I'm out of town this week, but he was with my parents and was comfortable in his last days.

I'm going to miss him dearly.
