Well, I’m not planning on going to see Jurassic World—looks like a fun film though.

So there’s this white woman who pretended to be black so she could be a NAACP leader. It seems fundamentally inconsistent that American culture celebrates when men call themselves women, but freaks out when whites call themselves black.

Um... you realize that the shaking in the cup of water wasn’t caused by the animatronic at all, don’t you? There was a guitar string down in the jeep, and some guy lay there plucking it to get the vibrations.

Understandable.

I like the way you think, you psychopath you.

Please, explain to me how to monetize the irukandjilion. That seems like a difficult task to me. These things produce fatal fluff that floats through the air, killing whoever it touches and then (presumable) using the corpse as fertilizer.

We have these in my backyard. It’s so cool.

What could be worse than the irukandjilion? Nothing, that’s what.

Clothing. Definitely clothing. I can imagine futures without books. I can imagine futures without fire (at least, without fire being used by humans). I can imagine futures without sticks to poke things with. I can’t really imagine futures without clothing. I can imagine futures without wheels. But if humans continue…

If we killed all the stupid people, we’d still be left with a whole bunch of people who were willing and able to kill people.

Wow. That Egypt fight.

There’s quite a few characters to keep track of, but Weber juggles them admirably. Politics is involved, but it doesn’t really bog down the story. The world-building is worked in pretty naturally—not a lot of infodumping. In general, it’s pretty fast paced.

Honor Harrington. First two books are available FREE (!) on Kindle, and I recently got the third... though I haven’t yet dug into it. Really interesting military science fiction. I love how tropes from the Wooden Ships and Iron Men genre get adapted to space combat, and how military tactics have to be adapted to work…

98%! And some of them were just educated guesses. The only one I got wrong was Doctor who, and that’s entirely understandable considering the massive variation in the show’s aesthetic over the years.

Well, it’s official. This is the future.

No no no, remember? Only humans care about charting things. Dolphins just muck about in the water having a good time.

Rome will be built yesterday. Maybe.

Lonely typewriter seeks companionship. Touch-typists only.

Vector? I hardly know her!

Aliens contacted us. We never realized.
