In the flashback, I got the hint that Gwyn is actually a clone, which makes the Diviner even more evil in that he sets up these heartstrings on her.

At a certain point, if more people who say they’re “libertarians” are actually just “dudes who would like to sleep with their daughter” or “dudes who would like to murder their neighbour and face no consequences” or whatever gross thing is actually behind their “libertarianism”, I think it’s totally fair to call them…

Libertarian Think Tank is the oxymoron for the day.

Both Kickstarter and Amazon have produced things that improved my life. Can’t say the same for NFTs.

Why would they know how to spell her name? It’s not like this is a science fiction site or that she’s a well respected and decorated writer whose writing they have covered or anything.

I have been saying ,here in the greys ,I liked the whole mid credit scene ,it made me smile .

Charlie Jane has literally won a Hugo, it seems the sort of thing i09 would pay attention to, and yet…

The 2020 Hugo winners list got an io9 article but the 2021 Hugo winners list has yet to receive one...
