The F1 drivers having loads of fun driving the Lego cars around the track in Miami is my favorite bit in this season of Drive to Survive.

Yeah. I'd much rather just have some fun new sci-fi.

In the absence of new, there's ample awesome material available for adaptation that has Firefly vibes (Jessie Mihalik, Cat Rambo, Amanda Bouchet, Becky Chambers, off the top of my head).

Not QP-ing because I don't rain on others folks' joy, but to answer the question posed:

"Looks like Firefly may be coming back! Announcement coming March 15th.
You all excited?"

No. I enjoyed it when it came out but it has so many issues baked in that I don't think it should be resurrected.

Pursued by a bear? Or maybe the ghost of her dog?

TFW when Stream selects the moment you were demonstrating T-Rex arms during lecture as the thumbnail for the recording and you just go with it.

Very jealous of the folks in my hometown. I hope it's a wonderful day for all who attend!

Yeah. I'm glad I got to vote for her in the primary. Obviously I'll be voting for Talarico in October (bc early voting is my way), but I'll be sad about it.

Hearing Christian Horner get resoundingly booed at the event in the first episode of Drive to Survive has boosted my mood a little this morning.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

My hometown local yarn shop (Yarnivore in San Antonio) had these for sale and I had to get them!

Shout out to @jessiemihalik.com and @alexandravasti.bsky.social for writing books that successfully competed with the Olympics for time with my eyeballs and brain.

Thoroughly enjoyed Silver & Blood and Earl Crush and found myself just-one-more-chaptering during both reads!

I find I'm needing to shift away from caffeine a little more often these days so the goal with this order was to get a bunch of different herbal blends that sounded good to try.

Probably Columbia since her costume is more fun and sparkly. I go to midnight shows as Magenta.

I want a No Exit situation for all of them. Stuck in a room with each other, unable to close their eyes, for eternity.

I'm sorry it hasn't made much of an impact, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely love a sequel.
