I’m glad he clarified he meant the Merlin cycle, which - strong agree. If he’d meant the Courts of Chaos arc, then - also agree, but not strong agree. It might’ve benefited from an aggressive edit and 1 or 2 fewer twists, but I enjoyed it particularly for how it threw Corwin back in catch-up mode. I mean, he was…

Agreed on Eric, and here’s hoping for the casting but really, I just want the damn thing made.

Thank you for this. For the fuck.ing.life of me, I could not recall why I knew who Quinta was before Broke. And it was for those Purple series sketches, and maybe a couple of her first ones with those guys.
You know, she’s right BF fell off, but it definitely is because things just kind of settled into the…

definitely Random. Corwin’s a bastard, even though he’s a bastard we root for. There’s definitely a “Zelaznian” protagonist and he’s the most Zelaznian of them all. Now there’s a thought: how would I rank Zelazny protagonists based on how much of a scoundrel they are?

This was one of my favorite series for a long time and one of my favorite works by Zelazny. But truthfully I was young and it was long ago supplanted by Lord of Light, Jack of Shadows, and the beautifully flawed Creatures of ... Light and Darkness. Hm, just now seeing that pattern.

Riff and mock all you want. I don’t see how it’s embarrassing for the men, although it seems to demean the women as if they are basically mental and emotional dross compared to older women.

There are plenty of these men dating women who are older than their twenties. Outside of that, I can’t argue with your points…

First: you mention “Cooper” like your readers know who that is. I did not and still do not.

yeah, fail.
And frankly, it should fail. What even is this idea of let’s mass produce something only targeted at exclusive groups. I don’t mean that as shade on BGLOs, just that it’s a very restrictive marketing ploy.
The better way to have done something like this would be to sell something exclusive through the…

wait, wait, everyone, I’m sure the libertarians are up in arms over this!

I mean, wtf is the defense strategy here?
She was clearly shot.
There’s a corroborating witness in Harris.
Is the idea to assert she and Harris are lying about WHO shot her?

I want Megan to call out the mfers refusing to work with her, even though the sad fact is, she can’t because that will make cause even more people…

He’s a cesspool but she was clearly just a toxic in her own personality.
What sucks is, she will fade from sight, but he’ll continue right on, sustained by his ever-loyal followers.

It is a very shaky if. I’m girding for the worst as much as I am able. First casualty sounds like medicare and ss benefits, so my currently independent and long-divorced parents will take the immediate hit as both rely heavily on those.

When Bezos took over the Expanse, I was surprised. I thought, this guy connected with the themes and ideas surrounding overcoming our tribal differences at a time when we were on the verge of becoming a level 1.5 civilization, maybe getting past the great filter in the face of indirect confirmation of a Dark Forest.

Bu…

relevance isn’t the same as sales. He’s grasping for relevance with the zoomers, who don’t care about his #1 sales. He’s doing that by picking a fight with a currently relevant artist to the zoomers, Meg. He’s trying to give them a reason to pay attention to his new music which is likely just a rehash of the same…

they won’t listen, just like she didn’t listen to the other conservative women already out there sounding this same alarm.

what is that peen in public allegation about?

ok. He’s a liar. For example, George Floyd didn’t overdose, he was murdered. And chattel slavery was, by literal definition, not a choice.

Kanye is a liar. There, now someone has said it to you so you can say something else other than that next time you have the urge to join the discussion.

Lot of snobbery in the comments, unsurprisingly.

There is a graphic novel series I read recently, Gideon Falls, that has this phenomenon as one of the signifiers of the possessed and it was super creepy on the page.  Also brings to mind the controversial series Crossed.

Bimpie is hella overrated. I’d rank it just above Subway.
I think Mike’s is pretty damn good (although the bread is a bit on the soft side for my taste). I’d put it at the top of my franchise scale (based off a classic turkey sub):

Mike’s
Quiznos (had a good thing going but their prices and sizing were weird)
Publix (not…
