256% true. Do you think people would just go on the internet and tell lies like that?

Allow me to be the first to wish you a Happy Honda Days from my family to yours.

Until Trump’s DOJ decides to re-dismiss with prejudice.

The vast majority of email address domains aren’t chosen, they come from your ISP, Cell phone/computer OS manufacturer, or employer/school. That’s the opposite of the fedeverse account creation process.

But, but eMAil!!!1!!!

When life gives you oranges, don’t make orange juice. Make life take the oranges back! Get mad! You don’t want those damn oranges, what the hell are you supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Bougie_Birdie oranges! Do you know who you are? You’re the man who’s gonna burn a house down! With the oranges! You’re gonna get your engineers to invent a combustible orange that burns a house down!

Twitter, where the response to “I like Hot Dogs” is “Why do you hate Cheeseburgers???”

Redshirts was where I started with Scalzi, one day I’ll get to Old Man’s War.

Lud is a one-off. I added it for bingo because a bunch of authors have listed it as a super formative book. I like her style, but it is a bit more dense than I expected going into it initially.

Pretty sure Jesus is a Lich since he was a sorcerer, not a Zombie; in the context of the question though that could be immaterial.

There has also been an influx of toxic people whose only joy is getting a reaction out of others that are joining because the people they’d normally target on X are leaving. I’ve seen them trying to get the same type of engagement they used to get and also a lot of other people calling them out as “Hey, this person is an ass, you can block them/add them to the MAGA Trolls list”. That could seem like a flood of toxicity to some.

I bet someone could make a good live action adaptation. It’s too bad NO ONE has ever tried.

Scalzi’s Kaiju Presevation Society is great, his Starter Villain is definitely in the same vein of light and easy and fun.

I made it most of the way through Lud-In-The-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. It holds up pretty well for being almost 100 years old.

I still plan to read Dungeon Crawler Carl next.

Makes The Stranger easier for sure…

Actually, the important subpoenas started in April of 2021

I only have 2 followers, is it possible that I’m the bot? Wait, how would I know if I was? Is this the Matrix? Damnit! Maybe there’s a website to find out? BotOrNot? What even is a traffic light? Is a bus a car? What about a truck? Is a motorcycle a bike? A scooter? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrgh….

I’ve been on Bluesky since February. I have yet to see any nudity that I didn’t actively seek out. It’s not too difficult.

There’s been a large-ish influx of maga users, looking for people to harass in the last week as the other normies have left Twitter too because they are sad and lonely people, so people’s ban fingers especially those with large accounts, are a bit heavy right now. So yeah, it probably completely came off wrong (like someone asking when white history month is) vs asking if there was a specific other ethnic starter pack that drew your interest. Sorry that was your experience.
