Congratulations to @bsky.app, which just passed the six million users mark. That's roughly the size of the population of the great state of Maryland. Please have some cake (crab OR Smith Island, or both!) to celebrate!

Update: it was fine. Not great, but good enough and the second best of the series although that's not saying a huge amount.

Yes and also rest days are a very good concept, especially as one gets older.

1. My business associates are generally working M-F so I am tied into their schedules to a greater or lesser extent; 2. Krissy also works M-F so I want to be able to have weekends free for her; 3. When I'm doing conventions, they're usually on the weekend so I try to get work done prior to that.

Yes. I'm likely going to be making some music later and almost all of that is cringe. I'll be there in that trench with you.

My politics in college were absolutely mainstream Democrat at the time (I voted for Dukakis!), with occasional libertarian streaks that came from reading "competent man" science fiction and no actual life experience to tell me that shit absolutely always failed first contact with the real world

You don't have to, and the actual vote is always secret. For primary elections, some states require you to register for a party to get the party ballot to vote on its eventual candidates.

Lol. I have absolutely failed the "increasing income --> more conservative" pipeline, although that has as much to do with American conservatism becoming more (overtly) fascist as anything else.

Yup! Ohio primary elections also have levies and other initiatives on them. I've also voted in special elections.

Right, but I haven't taken a GOP ballot since 2016 and used Dem/No Party since so I'm curious as to why it's not updated. It's just... odd.

Public records show my party registration is WHAT NOW (I asked for a GOP ballot in the 2016 primary election to vote against Trump, that's the only reason I can think of. I have voted Democratic and non-party ballots since, so I have no idea how this one stuck. I'll have to switch it out.)

As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."

I'm in fact taking a summer vacation from work, because I write a novel and novella in short order and have another novel to write later in the year so I need time to let my brain grow back. So for the summer I'm playing video games and making music and trying not to panic about the world. Fun!

I'm not sure Villeneuve would be a great match for an Abrams script. They don't use dialogue the same way.

I would have Lucas plot the story and then Abrams write the script, that where their native strengths as writers are to me

Krissy did not read a lot of science fiction before she met me, no (she had read fantasy, of the supernatural sort). She reads quite a lot of SF/F now. Her feedback is less about the genre and more about general readability.

I can say that by and large the Wikipedia articles about me and my work are accurate. Sometimes errors slip in but they are not fabrications, and generally quickly corrected.

One of the advantages, if you want to call it that, of having information of your own that you can check on Large Language Models, is that you quickly understand how badly they get what you know wrong, and if they get that wrong, what are they getting wrong that you DON'T know about?
