To paraphrase Nick Mamatas about this Locus article: "It engages in some ridiculous attempts at posthumous telepathy."

I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot. It was also interesting seeing questions from other writers and seeing their problems get dealt with. Lots of value there.

This is more editing than revision but I figured I'd share it here since a lot of you will be on that stage sooner or later.

Why do you say Looper doesn't belong?

I've never seen half of this list. Well! My homework is cut out for me.

True.

As bad as this is, I think one facet of the issue was missed: This is a great tool for the government to track which men are far too lenient with their women. Do you really let your daughters out that much? Why? Is your wife unaccompanied so often? Explain.

Well, I was actually being serious. If you're going to go high tech with your oppression, why not be as effective as possible? Why not have a way to know where she is at all times, something that she can't put down or leave at home or lose? This seems like a half-measure, considering the source. Not that I'm…

I wondered the same thing. I mean, that's more effective.

I used to do this all the time. Like, "Oh, man, a bamboo-based mandoline for only 83 dollars! SOLD!" It got so bad that I'd have boxes coming to my house all the time filled with I knew not what. I could afford it but I just accumulated so much random shit that I had no place to put it. Now I have a list of things…

Pretty sure you're not new.

The equine side-eye may be the best side-eye.

You must be new.

Dude, that first movie is poetry and genius compared to New Moon. I didn't even try with the others. ;)

I'm just going to say it: The first movie was not awful.

Ugh, I had to stop reading that story about the guy whose girlfriend fucked Renner. That is everything that is undesirable in a man rolled up in one article. It's not weird that she broke up with him, only that she ever went back to him even once. Yuck.

You're gosh darn right I would!

I think it's just this time of the year. Everyone's stressed and snarky and mean.
