The usual crew would be Jason or @jlw, Cory or @doctorow, Xeni or @xeni, Pescovitz or @Pesco, Rob or @beschizzaā¦
Youāll see them around. (And there are others youāll see less, like @orenwolf, @felton, @maggiek, etcā¦)
Jason Weisberger, aka @jlw, aka the publisher of this fine site. I donāt know the behind-the-scenes management scheme, but I think he runs the place.
Oh.
I skimmed that on my first day, but didnāt really commit it to memory.
Although I admit, I honestly thought you meant some dude named āAlā too, and just didnāt bother with proper capitalization.
*lolz
Heās in cahoots with regina and inter alia in re. Theyāre all idem.
I QED, I QEDā¦
Others are in cahoots with the queen and among other things in regards. Theyāre all the same person.
Iām what had to be demonstrated. Iām what had to be demonstrated.
Or alternativelyā¦angular mass, quantum electrodynamics. Angular mass, quantum electrodynamics.
But that second one is just nonsense
I think we should try and sneak this one into the next Democratic debate.
Bernie Sanders: Bringing champagne guns to the masses.
I agree. Probably still will buy something one of these days. Some of those book bundles look neat. Iām already pretty far behind on my reading though. The shirts and other wearables seem to be gone.
What they do have seems to be a nice mix of semi-practical stuff at pretty ok prices and āhuh?ā that I would expect from a store for mutants.
Iām pretty sure my sister-in-law is a reptilian, and she hasnāt said anything about them. Are there different tribes or however they describe their social groupings?
I snag some of the childrenās books for my niece and nephew and soon-to-arrive daughter.
If I could stand to write on paper with a traditional pencil, Iād be all over that. I have sound sensory issues so drawing on paper with a pencil is disturbingly like nails on a chalkboard for me.
Second the recommendation for Scrivener. If youāve got anything big and complicated to write, itās the best thing.
Add me as an enthusiastic third. I havenāt written any fiction in a long time, but lately Iāve been playing with some ideas because Scrivener is such a joy to use. It makes it easy to write a little, walk away, and pick up later where I left off, which is my life right at the moment. I could never do that with Word or any of the popular commercial word processors.
Oh, and here are some Twitters.

@maggiek Maggie Koerth-Baker is an awesome science journalist and one of the few non-scientist science writers for whom I and many other scientists I know have the utmost respect. We hope she returns to us one dayā¦
You pay $15 for a bottle of barefoot? Thatās quite the mark-up.
Chandon brut is probably my favorite bang for the buck. The barefoot prosecco aināt terrible, but it is best used as an orange juice delivery mechanism.
Cristal can eat a bag of dicks, veuve cliquot is where itās at.
State Liquor Store, baby.
No competition means they charge what they want and still lose money!
