Tabetha didn’t mind the snakes anymore. They were nice to have around the place, once you got your head around the idea that they were now on your side. They crept around, sure, and you had to watch your feet. But Tabetha hadn’t seen a mouse or rat in months. That was worth a lot.

They also made good scouts, when you put them together with what Desert Joe called a ‘two-leg.’ The human would get them most of the way to whatever needed looking at, and then the snake would… sneak on in, then report back. Nobody besides Rex or Joe could make heads or tails what the snake was saying, but it was still a great way to give a place a looking-over.

It was good for ambushes, too.

Book of the Week: FIFTH IMPERATIVE.

I have no idea if Robin D. Laws’ FIFTH IMPERATIVE is ever making it over to Amazon. I’m guessing it probably won’t, which is a shame, because the first book in the series (THE MISSING AND THE LOST) is a tight Carcosian-style thriller yet in Pelgrane Press’s YELLOW KING RPG universe. I’ve been waiting to read the sequel since forever.

PS: Yes, no Amazon links and yet I’m putting it up anyway. That’s how much I liked the first book.

I sort of want them to do a live-action TANGLED.

At some point you need to let the drunken, chain-smoking chimpanzee drive the fuel truck into the fireworks factory.

…How’s THAT for a metaphor?

Yeah, Threads ain’t gonna be the Twitter-Killer, either.

How thoroughly unsurprising: “Threads’ daily active user count is down 82% from launch as of July 31, according to Sensor Tower, with just eight million users accessing the app each day. That is the lowest it has been since the day after the app’s release when daily active users peaked at roughly 44 million, Sensor Tower said.”

You will either find this STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS episode an abomination before the Lord…

…or hysterical. There is no middle ground.

They apparently tried Klingon Opera, but it just didn’t… work. Whatever ‘work’ means in this context, really. All I know is, I am this close to getting Paramount+.

PS: I am given to understand that many people who like STAR TREK: DISCOVERY kind of hate STRANGE NEW WORLDS. I am just noting this for the record.
