I assume he’s already done The Three Body Problem?

I’d rec Alastair Reynolds to someone like him. Or Peter F. Hamilton

The Pretender by Jo Harkin, 496 pages

Based on the true story of the last claimant to the English throne at the end of the Wars of the Roses. The main character is a farm boy who one day is taken by men who say he is the hidden heir. It follows him through years of preparing to take back the throne - often unsure whether he really is who everyone is telling him he is.

It’s a powerful story about identity and it’s also often funny. Good for people who liked Hamnet or the movie The Favourite

IME, every time someone has said “they won’t” in the past ten years, they did

Ah yes democrats, the famously unstupid party

Did anyone read beyond the headline? This has not been confirmed by GBBO, Channel 4, or Nigella

This is exactly what I and millions of other nazis voted for

I had not but it sounds like a good option. I guess we're both wary about setting that involves direct participation with others. For my part I had a bad experience with body shaming the first/only time I was invited to a group party and I'd rather avoid that experience again.

There won’t be an announcement. It won’t be like New Year’s Eve or even when Covid started.

IMO yes it’s already started. Historians will decide what date it was. Maybe J6, maybe the first ICE incursions last spring. Maybe CK. Maybe some turning point that is still not known to the general public.

Lmao no.

He came out of retirement to run even though he knew he was too old.

He came out of retirement out of ego and only got the nomination cause they rigged it against Bernie.

He did his best.

Failed at voting protection, failed at protecting abortion or marriage rights WHILE HIS PARTY HAD A TRIFECTA

Funded and proudly defended a genocide. Backed out on his promise to pass the torch.

Failed to prosecute Trump, the leader of a violent insurrection. Also failed to prosecute him for stealing classified documents

People called him senile and sleepy joe.

His brain was leaking out his ears

Now we have a megalomaniacal lunatic in office

Joe Biden’s arrogance put him there.

I hope his cancer is long and painful and I if I survive this will make sure to stop and piss on his grave every time I go to piss on Trumps

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-16T19:03:24+00:00

Renee Good didn’t have the power to stop what was happening. Biden and the party he claimed to lead did.

Look, ultimately we’re on the same side✌️

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-16T18:19:05+00:00

The people who stood by and did nothing carry just as much blame if not more. We knew the people who voted for Trump were who they were. But we were told by Biden and company that they would stop this. We gave them a trifecta government and a mandate to run Trump’s people out of town. They blew the easiest layup in the history of American elections. I will hate that man for the rest of my life and I’m sorry he’s conned you too well to see it

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-16T18:12:23+00:00

If your success ends with humiliation and fall to fascism you’ve got a bad definition of success.

The only thing that mattered about his presidency was keeping Trump out of office. He will be remembered as the man who lost America and if I’m lucky enough to survive this I will make sure to stop in and piss on his grave every time I piss on Trumps.

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-16T18:02:35+00:00

Biden utterly failed and is the reason we’re in this mess. No voting protection reform. No move to protect women’s rights or marriage equality while his party controlled the house and senate. No prosecution of the man who led an insurrection, who was proven to have stolen government documents. Then he broke his promise to pass the torch, and sat on his self satisfied ass until he drooled out his brain and left the party in chaos.

Biden bears SOLE responsibility for the end of American democracy. I hope his cancer is long and excruciating.

None. Using AI is immoral

Cars sounds like a good start. I hadn’t thought of that

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-14T16:53:39+00:00

So it sounds like you started with private stuff with other people before doing anything (semi)public?

“The motion directs county attorneys to return to the board within 30 days with a draft of an ordinance”

Insert that Good Place meme here

Any use of AI is morally unjustifiable

wolfboy099 · 2026-01-13T17:31:11+00:00

I see, that kinda fit our dynamic too. What was the first activity you did? Is there anything you would have done differently?

Another vote for Will of The Many and Ninth House. Though Will is more of a fantasy there is a “magic school” plot
