HAAAA, but yay I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Def keep an eye out for anything from Scalzi — they’re all worth a read for sure. (Tho for anything that’s part of a series, you’d probably want to read them in order.)

UGH, I knooooow, now not only do you have to click on the link to your notifications page if you want to see if you’ve just got likes or a comment that you need/want to reply to, but also click over to the comment, but it doesn’t GO to the comment, or even LOAD the comments, so you gotta click three more times and…

Y’all need to fix your shit. Trying to load this page froze not just the tab but my wholentire damn browser for 10-20 seconds. Scrolling down far enough to start reading the actual article froze it again. Scrolling further to keep reading froze it again. Scrolling all the way down to the comments ... oh yes…

Nah, agree, the Space Action! stuff is obvs neither her forte nor her primary interest in writing what she does. But I didn’t really connect with the characters either? IDK, so much of the framing, opinions, characterizations, dialogue just seemed so weirdly and offputtingly ... dated and stilted to me. Contrast with…

Semi-related : Today I got an email from the WaitButWhy dude about his upcoming book based on stuff he’s been publishing on his site. I ADORE that site. However, the email also weirdly included some shilling for his wife’s startup venture, The Lanby. Which is a “new” (“disrupting” again, ugh) primary-care medical…

Heh, I mean I think that makes the series sound more 80s-retro-awesome than it really is, but go for it!

We already have Ugly Big Truthers, it’s called “The White House.”

I’ve only read probably half a dozen of the Vorkosigan saga books, and while many of them had appealing elements and a few of them were “pretty okay,” I just couldn’t get past the ... kinda soap-opera-ish-ness? Wow that was a mess — soapoperosity? Anyway, bit too much focus on romance/relationship dynamics for my…

It is, and SHE is! NK is waaaay up high on the list of Famous People I Wish I Could Be Friends With.

I think he’s fantastic and super-interesting looking, so I have to say “yes” even though to me personally he isn’t [drooooooool]. One of the things that’ll almost immediately make me nope out of a new tv show etc is if every fucking person in it is the same exact flavor of Conventionally “Hot” Young Person Du Jour, so…

Dooooo iiiiit. Concur with other replies — it’s srsly A+. (Which, you’d think that would be a given, for a Hugo/Nebula nominee, but a lot of stuff that gets nominated is IMO kinda ... not really Major Award Worthy.) (Sorry, Lois McMaster Bujold, but the whole “Vorkosigan Saga” is, like, fantasy-flavored Falcon Crest…

They ran out of time because B&W deliberately ran out of time. HBO famously wanted to go another season (or more), but those two chucklefucks were ooooover it and had honestly been kinda phoning it in for a while, and they wanted to waltz off to a big Star Wars [ha ha ha haaaa] or Lord of the Rings [ha ha fucking HA]…

[...] The Three Body Problem, which won China’s Yinhe Award in 2006, and Hugo and Nebula awards for Best Novel in 2014.

For a while last year (I think it’s stopped?) whenever I’d go outside in direct sun for like, 5-10 minutes? Half an hour later any exposed skin would be hottttt pink and itchy. :| This also gave the olive-skinned French/Italian bf the opportunity to laugh at me, which in turn gave me the opportunity to yell FUCK YOU I…

I think he’s in the Very Attractive But Then Also Kinda Odd Lookin category, but that’s fine with me because that is my favorite category. He’s like an improved lab-created human. (Maybe he really is, omg, and like from the future? Anderson do you have special powers, please fucking rescue us from this morass.)

My newborn-piglet-colored self looked at that photo and cringed in anticipation of THE PAIN. Broad spectrum +++, my dude.

What kind of ACTUAL fucking dipshit ARE you. Are you the kind of dipshit who can’t read statistics? Or the kind that ignores the burgeoning body of evidence that this is an extremely complex virus that is leaving people with serious health problems for MONTHS after they’ve allegedly “recovered”? And that we still do…

oh my fucking god lol

Considering trying the sunscreen, but a lot of the reviews note that the fragrance is A) candy sweet and B) STRONG and lingering. Attractive and easy-to-use packaging make it more tempting, but I’ll look around for a sample/mini before I abandon my beloved (other than the tube with annoying separate twist-off cap)…
