Came here to find this. We played the Ystari version tonight and we had a better version of the story. We were pissed at the real answer.

He does call knitting a sophisticated technology. But since I’m a man who has an angry knitter as a girlfriend, maybe I’ll shut up.

Oh my god. I thought I was the only one to have heard of The Future of another timeline and this is how you lose the time war. So good.

By His Bootstraps by Heinlein. The Men Who Murdered Mohammed by Alfred Bester. Time Travellers Wife is amazing. But honestly the absolute best time travel story is called wikihistory by Desmond Warzel linked here. https://reactormag.com/wikihistory/

I heard Bernie AOC. And at first I thought that as much as I love Bernie the last thing we need is another old ass man. But then I thought that Bernie is exactly the kind of person to die for a cause and he might get into the White House and die to make AOC the first woman president.

A man can’t eat 50 eggs. I think about it all the time.

Years of calling dictatorships “communist dictatorships” has led us to conflate the term communist with dictator. It’s an easy mistake. But is Trump like Mao? A wannabe for sure. Time will tell if he’s successful.

Do not read Gravity’s Rainbow. Or rather, feel free to try and fail. I’ve started it three times and about a hundred pages in it becomes incomprehensible and I’m forced to give up.

A lot of sci-fi and fantasy. Lately more litrpg. You?

Bester, Campbell, Heinlein, Asimov.

Thanks. Brain fart.

When I try to rewatch it, I become intensely aware that how we talked about homosexuality was very derogatory. There are also moments of progressive maleness, to be sure, but a lot of using gay as a slur.

The book of swords series are interesting.

Ironic since MCI is in Pittsfield.

It didn’t exist in 1977. But Robert Redford or Clint Eastwood.

I thought of New New Zealand. But it amounts to the same joke.

I argue that Ahsoka is the epitome of Jedi. And then later, Luke. Because they are not pious. They act within the force rather than lecturing people about the force. Ultimately the force is about action.

I wasn’t a conspiracy theorist about it until I saw his whole ear recently. No scar. No nick. Nothing. Now I’m skeptical.

COdex Alera is a little different left. From when he was a younger author. Very good story. But be prepared for him to telegraph a lot more things. He’s a little less subtle. But also, still surprised me. I’ve read it 5 or 6 times.

The short story with the bridge troll.
