Layover in Denver, saw this ad, and...wasn't this a joke in Spaceballs?

How dare someone on the internet attack me like this.

Look! It's Baby's First Reviewer Blurb For a Book (Alex Jeffer's _A Mourning Coat_, from @neonhemlock.bsky.social ) (I'm apparently enough of an established writer that my opinion on something ostensibly has some weight to it)

Spent the week at my mom's farm for her 75th birthday. Her husband is a nice enough guy, but has an unfortunate tendency to seriously ramble aimlessly when speaking. To make it bearable, my siblings, wife, and I devised a bingo game for his frequently recurring topics. My brother ended up winning

Wife and I visited a used bookstore, and stumbled across a vanity press book with a new level of audacity of in backcover blurbs

While useful advice, this early version of the ending of THE \/\/ITCH failed to go over with test audiences

Was at Phoenix Fan Fusion this past weekend (the local equivalent of Comicon), and I think of the cosplays I saw, this one has to be my favorite.

Don't move. They can't see you if don't move.

This is the nyt's view of speech

Only at AbSciCon: there's a pinball machine with the Urey-Miller experiment in it in the exhibition hall

I'm a believe in git-commits-as-storytelling

Today I was introduced to what was described as the Worst Plot In Exoplanet Science, and frankly, it is a work of art

Drew Carey just posted this in response to seeing a Phish concert in the Sphere, and I still don't know to process it, honestly.

Hey D.C. area friends, could one of you do me a favor and host an astrobiology conference/get married the last weekend of September, so I can justify flying out for this? Kthnxbai.

OH MY GOD. SOMEONE MADE FANART OF A SHORT STORY I WROTE, AS PART OF A PROJECT FOR THEIR BFA. THIS IS *AMAZING*.

I like how MGT seems to think eclipses are a sign of God instead of, y'know, an astronomical phenomenon so regular we can predict them literally *thousands* of years in advance.

Doin' science and lookin' stylish as the Arizona Astrobiology Symposium earlier today.

Drop a time travel drive that's not from Doctor Who or Back To The Future

Drop a time travel drive that's not from Doctor Who or Back To The Future (You didn't say that it had to be a FUNCTIONAL time travel drive, now.)

In a time of anxiety and growing darkness, I am happy to report that @premeemohamed.com arguing with her cat on social media is giving me life

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? They will definitely rescue me, though there will probably be a touching child-parent reconciliation, and a lot of ominous politicking in the background.

Is this the guy who runs the place?

I know that some people choose to continue to recognize Pluto as a planet despite its demotion by the IAU. Me, I'm chosen to continue to believe that Neptune really is that blue.

While I'm all for dual power and direct action, I will admit, this encapsulates a lot of what I find irritating about a specific type of Very Online Leftist who is convinced that only their specific approach to social change can work, and *literally anything else* is a waste of time.

I DID THE THING!!

"I want only the best for humanity and a prosperous and exciting future for all."

Looking back at it, the illustrations for the 1991 children's book Witch, Witch, Come to My Party go *way* harder than they have any right to.

Y'all, my wife got me a personalized engraved bookmark for our seventh wedding anniversary, and my heart, it is melting
