none of this is gotcha shit you absolute bozo

Best we can do is a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China, and maybe Europe too.

@Schnitzel Yes, 100% 2/3rds of the way through this:

On that note, 3 (maybe more?) J6 pardonees have already been re-arrested for chomo offences.

Tried a sourdough starter crust this time and it was pretty good

I could see how this would be very annoying. Me, ignorant to that Canadian, though - loved it

RIP

This show doesn't get enough love! So good.

Not a book, but I think you'd dig Scavengers Reign

Wife and I watched this last night. Eggers don't miss.

Came across a first edition in pretty nice shape

Have not had a Double Bastard ale in forever.

Couple recent efforts

Think that top section was for me. I'm on a Malazan BOTF re-read right now. There's A LOT I did not pick up on right away just through 2 and 1/2 books into the main 10 book series. The series has a rep of being dense and hard to get into, I think the first big plot pay offs start coming in the first act of the third book with regards to where the main plot of the rest of the series is going. Erikson and his buddy Esslemont wrote the first book as a stand alone screen play that never got picked up. After it got published as a novel the two of them came up with a lot of the rest of their idea for their world of Malazan, a lot of it comes from them table top gaming stuff out as creative writing students. Time is fleeting and I'm a believer in putting something down if you're not enjoying it, but as far as Big Fantasy goes, for me, the BOTF is the gold standard.

Shogun and the Asian Saga is all pretty great. Over the last few years I've read Shogun, Tai Pan, and Gaijin. I have King Rat and Noble House sitting on my bookshelf right now as well.

Currently reading these two: Malazan BOTF # 3 And a classic

Meta and OpenAI etc have all sank so much capital into this generative AI crap and talked themselves into this being The Way and all we're getting is the enshitification of the internet.

-33 C on the way into work this morning. Should be a nice crisp day.

Get yourself some of those warming packets that you put inside your gloves.

I don't think you can accuse others of cope when you are bumping threads from the back pages spamming memes. The louder you are doesn't make you more right about anything btw.

Covid was so fake and harmless that Putin had to reach out to his homie Don for covid supplies to the detriment of your own states.
