The usual crew would be Jason or @jlw, Cory or @doctorow, Xeni or @xeni, Pescovitz or @Pesco, Rob or @beschizza…

You’ll see them around. (And there are others you’ll see less, like @orenwolf, @felton, @maggiek, etc…)

Jason Weisberger, aka @jlw, aka the publisher of this fine site. I don’t know the behind-the-scenes management scheme, but I think he runs the place.

Oh.

I skimmed that on my first day, but didn’t really commit it to memory.

Although I admit, I honestly thought you meant some dude named ā€œAlā€ too, and just didn’t bother with proper capitalization.

He’s in cahoots with regina and inter alia in re. They’re all idem.

Others are in cahoots with the queen and among other things in regards. They’re all the same person.

I’m what had to be demonstrated. I’m what had to be demonstrated.

Or alternatively…angular mass, quantum electrodynamics. Angular mass, quantum electrodynamics.

But that second one is just nonsense :yum:

I think we should try and sneak this one into the next Democratic debate.

I agree. Probably still will buy something one of these days. Some of those book bundles look neat. I’m already pretty far behind on my reading though. :sweat: 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 ā€œhuh?ā€ that I would expect from a store for mutants.

I’m pretty sure my sister-in-law is a reptilian, and she hasn’t said anything about them. Are there different tribes or however they describe their social groupings?

I snag some of the children’s books for my niece and nephew and soon-to-arrive daughter.

And this thing turned out to be a pretty good deal.

If I could stand to write on paper with a traditional pencil, I’d 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 you’ve got anything big and complicated to write, it’s the best thing.

Add me as an enthusiastic third. I haven’t written any fiction in a long time, but lately I’ve 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.

You pay $15 for a bottle of barefoot? That’s quite the mark-up.

Chandon brut is probably my favorite bang for the buck. The barefoot prosecco ain’t terrible, but it is best used as an orange juice delivery mechanism.

Cristal can eat a bag of dicks, veuve cliquot is where it’s at.
