I wonder what @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social would say. Jon used his far-reaching platform and considerable reputation earlier this year to warn us all against crying foul too soon, that it wasn't *really* fascism... maybe just fascist-adjacent.

Well, to each their own! I know some popular books I've disliked. People LOVE the Witcher series, but I had to make myself finish it.

Thank you for mentioning this! I've been meaning to read that for a long time, and your comment definitely bumps it up the priority list for me

I personally loved how Sanderson finished it. Exact as Jordan would have done? Of course not. But really, really enjoyable? Absolutely

Plus that's how I discovered the Cosmere and all of his own work!

Wheel of Time is still a favorite (maybe THE fav, not sure, Stormlight is now a strong contender)

I'm always amazed at how some people can platform like this. Kick-ass job, man!

Now I have the image in my head of a Kobold writing COBOL. It's pretty amusing.

That sounds like a solid starting point.

And welcome to 10 minutes in my brain, the light external version. I need a vaca from my own mind, please.

I'm very glad she's so peaceful in this world. Incredible how a pet can keep you centered.

I don't care about packaging and distributing python packages!!! How did I land "presenting" the two chapters in this book that I find least interesting?!
January 13, 2026 at 2:54 AM
Oh, it was just the preview version... well now I feel silly. And I'm probably talking to myself. My puppy's asleep and I'm doom scrolling threads and procrastinating a presentation I have to give tomorrow at work.

we live it truly, uh, "interesting" and very challenging times.

Also why did BlueSky turn my "1/2" into a further ellipsis. I wrote three periods then "1/2". Do n
NOT transform my text. You get we're actively living 1984, right?

It legit "warned" me again just today! Warning about a large transaction (which has been regularly occurring for years to the Dept of Education).

Starting to realize @creditkarma.bsky.social , while knowingly farming users for data, really doesn't provide any useful value or functionality at all...

FOUR PLAYERS!!! As if the cross-game characters weren't entertainment enough, you could clobber THREE FRIENDS AT ONCE!!! Damn, what a time to be a kid. ❤️
