The doctor is replacing his rotator cuff with a series of weird meats as his new muscular pull and cable system.

BY THE WAY, acknowledging that writer pay is generally low and always has been does NOT mean that one should abandon the idea that a) one's work has value and b) that this value should be reflected in what is offered for it by others, says the former president of a writers' association.

Is the "active Russian aid" in the room with us now?

One thing I have worked out: why an exploration service would still retain a chain of command and retain a ranking system?

Something I’m going to flatly state in the work. I don’t want there to be ambiguity on what my service is and how it should work.

Starfleet is Schrodinger’s Military.

Ideally, SF is an exploratory service with secondary defense force and space law regulation duties.

In my WIP, I’m working out how a completely dedicated non-military exploration service works, where defense is a seperate branch.

I want this film.

“Have you ever noticed that there is nothing but misery here? The trees are in misery. The birds are in misery. They never sing. Only screech in pain. The horrors contained in our beloverd Bavaria take root here and fester, growing like a diseased weed.”

I’ve noticed a tendency to parrot back notes that the writer got. 😜

Probably why I now limit who I get notes from to a few trusted folks. Not everyone’s feedback is valuable or needed.

“A space-age extensioin of West Side Story.”

🤔

Thank you! I hate when I get this note.

Most liberals have no idea that the NY Times is a problem. Liberal/Dem leaders rarely criticize the Times (or any media) so people assume it’s okay. We have a serious media literacy problem on the left.

Motorola's Project Maxwell Pendant Is Just the Start of Its Experimental Wearables Journey Of all the big tech companies playing with AI wearables, Motorola might just be the boldest.

It’s incredibly dystopian how pretty much every consumer tech company is going all in on the idea that we all should wear a body cam stuffed with a chatbot.

And yet both give the ick, as the kids say.

“It’s okay, but it’s no Airwolf.”

“And the sky was full of stars, each one an exploding ship. One of ours.”

Rubincon is an annual convention to celebrate a little known 30th Century Holo-Program, RUBIN.

People from all over the galaxy dress as characters from the program. But most everyone wants to be Rubin, said to be the most important character ever written.

What is 5318008-Zilla?

In CCD, I asked where the people in Nod came from if Adam and Eve only had two sons. I was given a stern talking to about asking certain types of questions.

Take all those MAGA LARPers in tactical gear and khaki pants.

This goes for American comics, too. Take what you think they make, halve it, then halve it again. And if they aren't working for the Big Two, halve it again. And to be brutally honest, if they're writing and drawing graphic novels, halve it yet again.

And were turned into food for the elites. Very dark. Plus Joan Collins.

We all know how this ends. Once bsky goes down I'll probably be done with social media.

That’s one of my favorite episodes.

The Supreme Leader is dead…

Yeah this era of Trek, besides Lower Decks, has been exceptionally chaiste.

I made below the poverty line in the Bay Area in the 2010s as a newspaper reporter.

Not all of us are making Anderson Cooper money here.

That’s not switching parties. He’s just gonna be an independent Libertarian-Republican-MAGA instead. This is all smoke and mirrors.

In case you're wondering how bullshit the anti-trans bathroom police really are, last year an opposing counsel sent a male cop into the women's bathroom during a trial break to remove me.

I was the only person in the whole bathroom because it was after 5 and ours was the only case still going.

Now someone has to figure out the bathroom scheduling for the entire building, especially with that shared bath.

Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.

"But I don't think they make that much!"

Halve that. Halve it again.
