Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is OK because the sin of pi is always zero.

The Blob is, basically, a Thanksgiving movie.

In Pete's defense, the picture wasn't the color of whisky, which is the only reflected image of himself he's viewed lately*

Um, Scott, my boy, that ISN'T how inflation works.

We need to rename Treasury to the Department of Bankruptcy
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

These past months at work have drained me more than I expected, but this weekend I finally managed to breathe and create again. This piece is the result🙏

I plan to read the other Fox Patrol tales but I will go back to the Warrior Trilogy on Monday. There is a nice nod to Morgan and Patrick from the Kell Hounds so that pleased me having read about them recently.

The Galatea chapter was my favorite. Character stuff & seeing Katie nerding out was great

Finally read a @swankmotron.com book! Fox Tales was such a great anthology following the adventures of Katie Ferraro & her Fox Patrol crew.

It was great following who is essentially a Battletech fan in-universe live out her dream to be a Mechwarrior. Even with it’s ups & downs, Katie’s so endearing

if you tell your parents that you don’t want to have kids and they look offended, it’s because they’re thinking “damn, why didn’t I think of that“
