I keep wondering if my one bout of COVID (which SEEMED to be mild) contributed to my heart damage. (I'm also fat and sedentary, so I know I made it easy for the damage to be done.)

FYI: "Dirty Magic" by @jayewells.bsky.social (Book 1 of 4 in the Prospero's War series) is on sale for $1.99.
It's been years since I've read it but I remember it as being good. You might want to pick up a few for a giveaway.
Disclosure: I've met the author. She's a nice person.

Different people like different things.
I would occasionally buy "The Weekly World News" because I loved the surreality of it. This book gave me that feeling again.

Just finished "The Stranger Times"
1. It's definitely "The Chronicle" run thru an urban fantasy filter.
2. One line made me laugh so hard, I had to stop reading until I recovered; mostly it was amusing.
3. When you read it, read to the very last page, including the acknowledgments.
4. i recommend.

Did you read the acknowledgements in the first book (which I just finished)? If you did not, go back and read the acknowledgements.

When you get to the end, keep reading the acknowledgements, too. It's worth it.

Oh, no. The shirt has a typo.
Des Moines is in IA, not LA.
Someone got snacked on for that.

Two pseudo-goths were arguing.
First Goth: "I'm darker than you are."
Second Goth: "You are not. I'm so #dark I fart bats."
FG: "I want the world to end."
SG: "We all want the world to end."
FG: "I voted for Trump. Three times. Because he might do it."
SG: *silent for a long time* "You win."

Were you not talking about "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy"?
The new episode dropped today and I though you were referencing it.

I think the general convention is to call it ST:SFA even though Starfleet is one word, because SA has its own meaning.
