Tweet of the Day, #JoshFight edition.

Short version: some Josh on the Internet challenged all the Joshes on the Internet to come to a certain spot yesterday and fight it out for who would get to keep the Josh name. The fight happened – with pool noodles. The winner is below.

More here. Fair warning: the entire story is quite ridiculously wholesome.

This rarely ends well.

Tweet of the Day, I Have Comments about the SpaceX/NASA Moon Thing edition.

Mostly involving variants of Who else here thinks SpaceX will be ready for the Moon shot before NASA is? Hell, if SpaceX can get Starship into orbit, somebody might end up saying Why wait? But never mind me: I’m cranky when I haven’t had my dinner. This is cool news.

Tweet of the Day, I Have A Curious Sympathy Towards This Man edition.

No doubt I will stop being so, if and when I ever hear the rest of the details of this case. There’s always an unfortunate detail. But for this one moment in time I will chuckle indulgently. You have to respect this kind of professional dedication.

Tweet of the Day, This Penny Arcade Strip Is A Creative Inspiration To Me edition.

Straight up. If I have an impulse in my horror fiction, it is to create new, dark mythologies. Ones with half-seen depths and grim solidities; the sort of thing where, when you encounter the monster, a look past it will reveal an entire bone-chilling world where the monster makes logical sense. This strip encourages me to keep on with that.

Tweet of the Day, This Is So Inside Blog-Ball Funny It Makes My Sides Hurt edition.

But agree with it or not (on reflection, it was far too stalker-y for my personal taste), the Tweet below is comedy gold. Gold, Jerry! GOLD!
