@acetone_kitten I think I might have figured out why you were missing chunks of the TL on Tusky. Have you by any chance been leaving the app running in the foreground when you've closed your phone for long periods, rather than going back to the home screen first?

I worry that I wouldn't maintain it as a habit and thus end up disappointing them.

Hmm. Maybe I should try making friends with the local crows? I hear they tend to like peanuts.

btw, yeah, the concept of private property was definitely a mistake.

exactly what to do

I think it's cool Ruin of Angels gives us a character name that includes a consonant not in English.

proposal: an internet where OS-shaming is a thing of the past

reality: a man falls through the earth and into parisian catacombs. taking a torch from the wall he spies row upon row of skeletons. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes it madly, yelling "my dude have u tried linux"

I am really glad that the phrase "spider friend" was/is a thing because it really has made me much more chill towards the spiders I encounter in my life.

My two cents on the #VoynichManuscript: it's REALLY unlikely that Gibbs is right when he says he's deciphered it.

First: he's only approached the pictures and their captions, not the body of the text. When he says he's "deciphered" it he means "I'm pretty sure I know what the book's about", not "I can read the writing".

Second: his theory was already advanced - in 1943! - and (all together now) thoroughly debunked.

Thought from reading the first ~20% of Ruin of Angels 

Iskari Space Program.

Even for Craft, that's ambitious. Especially given the little hints we've had about what the cosmos is like.

There's no way this ends well.

bad sex pun 

If you regularly use a fucking machine to cheer yourself up, does that make it an attitude control thruster?
