Barrayar, by Lois McMaster Bujold. It's a story of court intrigue, a new marriage tested by shared secrets and culture clash, and women who shall not be underestimated.

Haters will see this cover and try to tell you that WonderBat isn't Canon.

ZipDisk is here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about ZipDisk and start finding the ways that ZipDisk can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to skip work to go to DTII's wedding either.

No context the status of my college career:

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

Can confirm

It's been under option for 18 years straight (by various people) and the problem has always been "getting the script right," and every new pass of the script takes 4-6 months, so option times run out faster than you think. But those options paid for Athena's college education and maybe a church, so

All of these people positing pictures comparing Rob Schneider to other things are making those other things catch a lot of strays. Really there’s only one thing you need to compare Rob Schneider to in order to understand how gross he is.

This reminds me of the greatest moment in film criticism www.reddit.com/r/blankies/s...

btw i strongly dislike this equinox ad. why do you have to cut off an asian woman's head and stick your thumb in her mouth in order to "question everything?" feels bad!

At this point the best way to safeguard learning data is to *not* use an LMS

Horse dewormer is not a treatment for hantavirus. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Two years ago, a State Island elementary school dumped copies of my picture book MY TWO BORDER TOWN into a dumpster along with other books by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors. Mac Barnett, by calling 94.7% of books for kids "crud" is playing right into the hands of MAGA book banners. He should ste down.

Surprising amount of decolonial scholarship out there that goes "unlike the regressive binarist West, this non-Western culture celebrates women <3 (as mothers. moms. life givers a.k.a babymakers. exclusively. don't ask what happens to women who don't want kids. those don't exist. not a thing.)"

Not that it's important but wouldn't beating the British empire make you world champs? And 1783 world champs at that?

"go back to the land and farm" sorry I'm descended from people who said "fuck that shit, I'd rather be a servant in a foreign country"

He does need to learn how to cook but that man has an entire roast chicken and a loaf of white bread to himself. That is the meal of a medieval nobleman. No one on the internet understands how lucky they are to live in the century that they do.

Make The Odyssey but with Jeffy from Family Circus as Odysseus.

Now that I’m older, I can better appreciate things like: “Men, plug your ears to avoid the lure of the Sirens.” “Odysseus, shouldn’t you plug your ears too?” “No, I will tie myself to the mast because I have a *very* specific kink.”

Can this be the solution?

Men should not allowed to have takes on The Odyssey, I'm reporting this verbatim from Athene herself. Homer was on thin fucking ice.

“Kids shouldn’t be in front of screens” but then “why are all these kids outside in public existing?”

Yeah, I know the rules. But truth is, I'd have shared it anyway. I've seen this clip twenty times. Still makes me smile.

Monthly ebook releases on Amazon were basically flat before the release of ChatGPT and other LLMs. Now around 2/3 of all ebooks released on Amazon are fake.

Gojira.

I’m like Scooby Doo Looking for clues Turns out the whole world Is a mystery I love this song

For kicks and giggles, my annual #CincoDeMayo tradition: Quizzing gringos about what the holiday celebrates! If you're not American but not Mexican either, feel free to take a guess as well. No looking it up or else you're a nerd. 🤓

Alex Jones realizes the tragic truth. He has lost the Infowars.

Hey, just a heads up:

In a world where the uninformed love to say kids don’t read anymore, our 600 ish students have checked out over 23,000 books this year. And counting. Their favorites this year have definitely been I Survived and Wings of Fire. We also have a large increase in kids finishing reading challenges!

Heute schieb ich nochmal ein Star Trek Lower Decks Fanart hinterher. Einfach, weil ich es lustig finde 😅 , auch wenn es nicht perfekt ist. Also ich präsentiere: Der apokalyptische Reiter - Badgey & Moopsy #zeichnen #startrek #lowerdecks #badgey #moopsy

Hey, just so you know, if you are planning to go see #Beetlejuice The Musical (The Musical, The Musical), it's very good, has some really dark jokes (it's a show about death, remember), and also a surprising number of bits where I cried.

Shout out to @gailsimone.bsky.social for proving that #ThePunisher really would be prettier if he smiled.

We have an announcement. WE HAVE CHERRY BLOSSOM! 🌸❤️ Thanks once again to the Orkney Japan Association - our tree is one of 30 cherry trees planted across #Orkney as part of the Sakura Cherry Tree Project. 🌸

Hehehe meeeee

Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

Hey, here's something for my fellow Trekkies that they might have not thought about before: Just how far from Ceti Alpha V is the Mutara Nebula in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan? #StarTrek #StarTrekII #TheWrathOfKhan #SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale

Thank you for calling Expedia customer support. We value your call, and that is why we use the badly-modulated sound of a saxophone player being murdered by a goose with a respiratory infection as our hold music.

Well, reenlisted for one last time. Seemed like a good idea the last couple of times so I figured why not?

There is no better argument for the USA needing high speed rail than literally any occasion where you have to call an airline about a flight you booked.

I'm not saying that James Vance has been struggling lately because people won't address him by his legal name, but maybe the demeaning nickname of "JD" is making it difficult for folks to take him seriously.
