Not quite. King James VI/I only had one wife. The Church of England split off from Catholicism under the reign of Henry VIII of England (several monarchs before James) so that Henry could divorce his first wife.

My first boyfriend couldn't stand them. That should have been a sign.

Sometimes the game nudges players toward making 40 fish baits in one day, though...so my routine with ACNH is basically “water flowers, pick unnecessary bred flowers, craft hot items, check out the store, check out the Able Sisters shop, get all the shells, find the message in a bottle, check villagers’ houses until I…

“If you’re not hiring survivors on your set (like anyone should submit ask such invasive questions in the hiring process or rearrange your cast to do as such), you are now enabling abuse?”

Their most recent, “In the Morse Code of Brake Lights,” is right up there with those first three.

Say I’m a good person or I’ll kill your husband!

I definitely heard independently published. It was a weird aside, since you’re right, most of the audience at the reading would not care at all. (Though I have definitely heard <i>specific</i> publishers be named during author readings, they usually don’t mention whether said publishers were independent or associated…

Independent publishing isn't the same as self-publishing. It means she was published by a small press that isn't connected to one of the big publishing houses.

Yeah. While I want to remain optimistic that they'll come up with something good, this seems far more likely.

I volunteer as script supervisor.

Yeah...I definitely agree that they should make sure the first story is great before worrying about the next several. And I personally wish this were being made into a new TV show, like His Dark Materials or Watchmen, where the bigger story could be told over a longer period of time (and maybe if itwas successful then…

I think they could handle the first 5 books as a movie pretty easily. Start with Cassie getting dream messages from Ax underwater. Then flash back to Elfangor, the Escafil device, and the vacant lot. Center the plot on finding Ax in the ocean, but with frequent flashbacks to other stuff: The Shining, Visser Three,…

I can’t be 100% sure, but I <i>think</i> New Horizons added some differences between genuine and fake paintings. I checked the Wiki for something I bought, and based on that I thought that what I was buying was real (basically two figures would be swapped in the Amazing Painting), but even though the two figures in…

I know you're being pedantic, but you still cracked me up. Good job.

Yes, this is what he proposes in his Republic of Heaven essay in Daemon Voices as well.

You wouldn’t even need CG for the kitchen staff--in the books it’s stated that servants’ daemons all settle as dogs when they reach adulthood.

What’s Bojack’s beef with Arizona? It was New Mexico where Charlotte lived

If anyone ever decides to turn Vikram Seth's novel A Suitable Boy into a movie or TV series, she would be the ideal Meenakshi Chatterjee.

Sure, they failed eventually, but they were in power for 12 years, doing irreparable damage to the world. That’s...not something that we can allow to happen again. Whether ridicule or sobriety or a mix of the two is the better tactic, I don’t know, but let’s not ignore that a victory in 1945 doesn’t make November 1938…

I have some sympathy for his having gotten caught up in a pyramid scheme, but not for how he lied to his wife about their finances, etc.
