@lorasenf.bsky.social thanks for the Brian McAuley ref the other day! Just finished that book. The afterword he wrote gave me things to think about! 👍

In fairness, Hyundai is just italicized Honda. Anyone could make that mistake.

Most books would be better if you put a nasty grubby monster in em somewhere

Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

You know, those big omnibuses of Transformers comics just came out, and you and Hoover could discuss *them*... 😏

Still the standard by which I judge every other Transformers podcast I've tried (spoiler alert, haven't found a replacement yet!)

2019-2023 I talked about every episode of the G1 Transformers show with my lifelong buddy, Hoover. We designed a bunch of products based on the silly/weird dialogue.

A cartoon drawing of the Decepticon Astrotrain walking sleepily with a cup of coffee. The words, ACTIVATING TO ALERT STATUS appears below him.

A cartoon drawing of a confident looking man in a business suit with his arms crossed. The Autobot Cliffjumper poses excitedly below him. The phrase TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN TRUST is above the man. A quote appears next to him, "our robots are not built for battle or assassinations. - Doctor Fujiyama" Cliffjumper shouts, THE FAMOUS SCIENTIST!

There's more gameplay, but the developers seem to have decided that what people really wanted was even more MJ sections than the first game, and that she should get to fight a boss (I kid ye not). Really got under my skin.

Matt Nelson @mattnelsonart.bsky.social · 13h

I love the stealth stuff with Miles but I'm gonna warn you that it's even WORSE with MJ in the second game. 🤬

Oh good, someone else who hates them besides me

Golly gee this one blew up a little, please read my webcomic at www.catbeardthepirate.com and I apologize in advance that it does not have any adorable mouse lawyers (that I know of, anyway)

This sounded cute so I drew it

A little mouse in a light colored suit. He holds a drink with a wedge of cheese in it. He says "now I may be just a simple country mouse attorney--"

Yeah I speed read, lol. I finished that Ghost Station one last night too! I liked it, though it wasn't 100% filling my need for a creepy critter in space (I'm just gonna have to write that novel, aren't I?) 😹

Just finished "Pennies" by @lorasenf.bsky.social - another spooky and marvelous entry in her Blight Harbor series. Big recommend!

Oof, man. I've dropped my tablet on my nose before (benefit of having a prominent schnoz I guess) but never my eye. My condolences.

Matt Nelson @mattnelsonart.bsky.social · 1d

I was a big fan of that cartoon, and any time it was that studio in charge of an episode, I knew I was in for a good one. Just leagues ahead of anyone else who worked on it.

There's one I saw in my town that almost caused me a car wreck. It was wrapped in a maroon wrap that is prismatic, like one of those stickers from the eighties. When I saw it, I was so dumbfounded I almost forgot to watch the road. Truly just a hideous thing. Never seen since, thank goodness!

I'm not really a fan of stand-up comedy or pranks, but I do appreciate commitment to a bit
