I have also seen ATM also be “at the moment” or “ass to mouth”

Too many multiple meaning abbreviations…

First thing in the morning, ATM I make sure to look at the BBC.

Stross is good fun

The gaff being saying it out loud in front of cameras…

I love Kingfisher’s stuff.

I’d agree with Tea Master. I definitely enjoyed it, but it was more a book about their dynamic than an actual mystery.

I finished all the Super Powereds related stuff that’s out. The main series and one spin off that may get a sequel in the future. There’s also a potential follow up that happens 20-ish years later.

Fun books in general with a little patience needed for areas where it really could have been tightened up. But I would feel comfortable recommending it to someone. Overall probably high B or low A tier.

Now I’m on to Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. It’s had pretty good reviews and is quite cozy.

It may be something my brain ingested at some point in the past from somewhere else, but if so I don’t remember it.

I always get a lot of impressed looks when I pull out a severed hand that I use to hold the rail while I hold on to the wrist/upper arm. I can tell they’re all jealous.

If you had the choice, would you rather the railing be greasy or exceptionally sticky?

Yep. Apparently I stuck those in some sort of super resilient long term storage.

I mean the country was founded on the conceit that some political violence is ok. It’s embedded in the revolution and the framework of the 2nd Amendment…

That horse has left the barn far behind.

Allow me to be clear, I was not aware that it had had been canceled until I tried to find the third book in the series, but when I found out that it had been canceled, I was like, “yeah… That makes sense“. 😂

Oh, I have finished plenty worse series 😂. I read the first two books of a trilogy that was cancelled because it was so bad once.

Why to the Earths always have to be Infinite‽ why can we have “Crisis on just a Couple Earths (Major Inconvenience on a Few Others, Maybe)”

I’m still working through Drew Hayes Super Powereds series, I’ve finished book 3 and am reading a spin-off called Corpies that takes place during book 3.

The quality has definitely improved. Still could have benefited from a good editor but not quite as much as before. It’s moved into A tier.

It’s also an easy misunderstanding to make for a journalist or online commentator because typically when somebody decries somebody “making something political” or “getting more political”, they mean in a way that they are not because to them, “their views aren’t political” even though they absolutely are.

The article I saw said he was getting more “political“ recently, not explicitly more left-wing…

Aside from the feeding and mating; I always learned it was fight, flight, or freeze (fawn).

In words and actions he did so incredibly clearly.
