“Say Car Ram-Rod! SAY IT!”

I last cut my hair about 18 years ago. It's curly and reaches the small of my back when it's straightened. The safest thing for me to do when eating is to gather it up into a pineapple topknot. 

Haters gonna hate and gonna yuk my yums. I liked it and I’m excited to see it in November.

Imma go on record and say Saru + Tilly is the best partner pairing on Discovery, with a close second of Reno + Stamets.

Surely there will be a public opinion poll, and the public will declare it should be named Planet McPlanetface, at which point the IAU or whoever is in charge of naming planets will just throw up their hands and say "Fuck it, why not?" 

This episode did justice to the time-honored DnD tradition of writing out a Wish that the DM cannot possibly pervert into something horrible.

Whoopi is great, and I love Whoopi, but if they're going to try an American Doctor, Tig Notaro is RIGHT THERE.

Excellent analysis. As a writer of superhero novels, I have always tried to convey this visceral realism in my work. People who have these powers can cause grievous harm to others, and getting shot or stabbed (or cut with a sword, or a naginata, or the sharp end of a tire iron, etc) is always going to be painful and

*Bane* I AM THIS DOWN-LOOKING SNOB’S RECKONING!

I’d give it a chance. But mostly I'm just sitting here, waiting for The Next Starfighter or whatever it will be called.

ST: Discovery's loss would be Doctor Who's gain in Tig Notaro. 

YES HELLO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER PLAY THE QUESTION IN LIVE ACTION THANK YOU

I actually knew about this already because of a bunch of research I had to do for a book. Still very cool to see. 

By definition, it is *impossible* for an optimist to be pleasantly surprised.

My cup of coffee is always half empty. I'm a buzzy pessimist. 

Half of this headline is incorrect.

So this is interesting, because Audible (and its production arm ACX), are wholly owned by Amazon. When I (or any other author/publisher/producer) have an audiobook produced, ACX gives me 50 coupons for free downloads that I can share as I see fit. These promo codes are almost universally used to generate reviews.

Prove to me that Damien is NOT some kind of homunculus.

I’ll wait.
