I'm partial to New Vegas, myself. Just always feels like the best iteration of all the underlying concepts (though 2 is great at that, too, but I'm a little cool on the style)

Morning dog walks for me are always an exercise in "are the neighborhood coyotes around?"

Lately we've had *two* owls hootin' it up nearby.

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

Well this is extremely on-brand.

Oh yeah, that'd be a solid one, too. Something to tie that up, one way or another.

And, like, I try not to be the guy who's always like "this is how I would've made this"; artists make their own art and I support them in it even when it doesn't hit for me.

But still, I just can't help but imagine, sometimes.

Richard Moon, but, like, scaaaaaary! @rmoonhill.bsky.social · 16h

The only thing I will say, that I think would've really changed my whole reaction to the series, is this:

Imagine if Evelyn had gotten *one* dose into Alex. Everything else (more or less) the same, but just that one difference.

i think we should just do horoscopes based on what the number one movie at the box office was the day we were born, it seems more scientifically rigorous

oh AND I definitely wouldn't have met ANY of my current writing groups, who are all of them extremely-dear friends and some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure to know.

In a very round-about way, yeah. Getting back on twitter six years ago directly began a series of choices and results that lead to me getting involved with Voyage Media, which has been great.

Oh, and I wouldn't have even known about AWP this year, and wouldn't be getting published next month.

I have strong thoughts about how "left on the table" a bunch of potentially-cool choices were, but they're spoiler-y.

Yeah, it was very much a case of I Really Liked a lot of the stuff I liked, and just wish a whole bunch of it had been... more developed, I guess? I like Martin in a lot of stuff I've seen them in, but they seemed barely there compared to everyone else in the cast.

Well, the blank look-up seems like a bug(her account is definitely searchable) but to your point, it *is* interesting that none of Jay's posts from the last five days show up in a search for "Jay", just lots of posts *about* her.

Screenshot of a bluesky search for "jay", showing several accounts with Jay in the name. The CEO's account is fourth on the list

Oh, oh, I do! And it's a first for me, so extra exciting/nerve-wracking!

There was a whole bit about fathers and sons and such, but, I mean, yeah.

Might've been better with the guy who played Lightfoot.

Well, that depends on two things.

1) How do you feel about motorcycle fights? And,

2) How do you feel about frisbee fights?
