Started Book 1 of Philip Pullman’s The Book of Dust, “La Belle Sauvage”. It’s good so far, easy read. If it’s good enough I’ll do the whole trilogy now that Book 3 is finally out, I’ve been waiting to start book 1 for over 5 years since I found the hardcover at a secondhand bookstore for $8

It’s hoarding, elevated.

Yeah, he’s been on this anti-Canada kick since near the end of his Fox News career. Word was, he’d made a “movie” for airing on Fox News that urged an invasion because Trudeau was a communist. The sooner this propagandist is relegated to the wastebin of history, the better

Yes, because enough is never enough for corporations. No matter how many tax breaks, rewritten laws, and repealed regulations, they will not and can not be satisfied.

Got 1700hrs in it; 42 bases across a 30+ galaxies. Mines for Sodium, Indium, Phosphorus, Rusted Metal, Sulpherine, Pyrite, and a few more. Built a few architectural wonders, too. Good times

How do you cannibalize voices?

Mariner is the goat. We deserved 7 seasons and a movie!

It’s like, the opposite of “fun”. Especially as the series continues, it just gets more and more bleak. 2 out of 10, I’ll certainly never read them again.

Yeah, these two were such a step down from Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion.

I was wondering this also; but I’d bet it’s probably a No given the whole “don’t cause harm” proscription, in light of how pregnancy can cause harm and isn’t a sure thing.

Thanks! :)

I read it as a teenager and wasn’t particularly impressed. As an adult I reread it after hearing it was a “classic” and I couldn’t even make it halfway through. Absolutely agree that liking that book is a red flag

“Grok” was briefly a real(ish) word back in the 60’s, after Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land first came out. It faded into obscurity over the last few decades until Elon ressurected it, and now writers are unironically utilizing it again for some reason.

Almost halfway through, and it’s a bit of a rambling mess. You can really tell that it was originally published in serial form a few chapters at a time; and the sheer volume of extra characters & their subplots is ridiculous.

I am enjoying it, but The Count has too much plot armour, he knows everything all the time practically supernaturally.

Oh boy, war profiteering, can’t wait.
