"Here is Jefferson, talking to himself again. It has happened increasingly of late. The pantograph in the study summarizes his monologue endlessly, and the shelves fill with more and more of less and less"

Also I recommend having a gold tooth so that when you smile there will be an audible "ting" like Harry from Home Alone which is very a very reassuring ting.
I recommend winking at anyone who makes eye contact, that will definitely reassure them that you are trustworthy!
Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

Mr. Colombo said he had a new bird, and a new mΓ©lo-kit, and did Marco want to come over and see it, he asked, as he beckoned his neighbor inside. Marco wasnβt really interestedβhe just wanted to crash on the sofa and open a beer and forget about the long day at workβbut Mr. Colombo, like most people in Rome, never really took no as an answer; he only waved his hands more forcefully and herded him in, talking without pause about plumage and trills and transducers and accumulators, and Marco followed meekly.
music can do a lot of things for sure. Apparently when it comes out of birds it can be converted into power. Iβm sure thatβll go well for everyone/society
Really enjoyed "On the Effects and Efficiency of Birdsong: A Meta-Analysis" by @ftberner.bsky.social @diabolicalplots.com

This is amazing!
No worries, it is almost always a forgot password, or that the person forgot which email they registered with! :D
Have you tried forgot password? otherwise, send a not via contact form and I can help look into it. I suspect its an individual issue rather than a site wide issue or i would get more than one report.

My latest short fiction review column is in the March issue of Locus Magazine: subscribers.locusmag.com/content/buy-...
The Mario 64 intro scene with a letter from Princess Peach, reading: Dear Mario. Please come to the castle. I'm down bad. Yours truly-- Princess Toadstool (Peach)

My big project: The Death Generator.
It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Jokes on you then because my favorite jokes are the ones that someone else makes that no one else laughs at (and which are not like offensive or anything just that people dont get them).
So I will ruin any goal of having only the joke teller laughing

I have never heard of this!
I may have never been as perplexed by an everyday language difference since I heard of "water ice"!
Wait what about pork roll?
Several great blue herons lined up along the edge of a large industrial dock. The heron closest to the viewer is in crisp focus, and the herons behind it get progressively blurrier. Most of them are facing in the same direction as the bird in front, looking out across the dock, which has a few large pipes running along its length. Taken at Ballard Locks.
A photo from today's walk. I sometimes get my ducks in a row, but this is the first time I've managed to get my herons in a row.

I went through the mortifying ordeal of being known by video to show off finished copies of SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON! Pre-order it wherever you get your books! Here are some places you can do that, though Iβll always recommend your local indie first. torpublishinggroup.com/seasons-of-g...
The only thing I'm conflicted about on this is whether I am more jealous that Stanley Tucci got to hang out with the USA women's hockey team, or that the USA women's hockey team got to hang out with Stanley Tucci. π
