"Is this an argument you actually want to win?"
"No, but - "
"Then stop talking about it," -- RecklessPrudence
"But it's still an issue," countered Praal. "There are entire planets dedicated to hatred and spite."
"And you would stop them with more hatred and spite?"
"No, but--"

I have to get a lot of money out of the bank, this morning, because today is the day of a four-hour clean with my distractible self helping everyone out. That's part of the deal.
So, if today's story is late, please forgive me. I'm being knocked onto my arse by more cleaning than I have the spoons for.
I will try to slot it in, but 'try' is not 'succeed'.
And then I have to do 1000 words whenever there's the

Julie read the stops on the map as they came up to them. Her travelling equipment clutched on her lap. Nanny sat beside her in a more doggy pose than she usually adopted, muttering, "Good girl," and "Right Fin Park Atrium," alternately. Finally, Julie said, "That's next! Standing up time."
Looking at Nanny, one might expect the gigantic St Bernard to stand on all fours, but Nanny was

Which is just as well because it seems that I take about two weeks to draw a shot. Because OCD.
I just finished Shot #3, which was needlessly complicated for a very few seconds of time. But it is worth it. Beloved

[Person #2]: And a complication for [Name]. Better to have an absolutely loyal Automaton than someone who may have a conscience. -- RecklessPrudence
Colonel Peter A. Walter's design for the Babbage Brain seemed sound on paper, but things that worked on paper had a way of leaving him without eyebrows for a few days. Now that he'd built it and installed the thing inside

"And if I get murdered, my Grandma's gonna be pissed."

Faster than lightning, Emilio had his hand over Gavin's mouth. "Don't say it. Don't even think it."
Gavin peeled Emilio off him. "What, you think your

"We're on a steam-powered space ship," said the Doctor. "Something has to be on fire or it wouldn't be working." He didn't look at Kev. He was more interested in the pipes and valves that seemed to make up a majority of the corridor decor. He was busy trying to work out what they were for and

Nobody's said a word about the thing, so I'm guessing that nobody has an objection about it. I'm terrified, despite the fact that I know damn well that the people sponsoring me on Patreon will be coming in as a trickle, not as a flood.
It's not as if I have a lot of people reading this blog anyway.
Yes, this URL is the hub for my everything, but... I get the increasing feeling that hardly

Broken down in the middle of nowhere and no cell service. "This is how every horror movie ever starts," Dan whined.
"You got some tools in this heap?" asked Pixie. "Maybe I could have a look and see what's going on."
Dan didn't scoff. It was

This site is pretty much me whining about stuff and occasionally pointing at other cool things I've done.
Other things I did not do - work on SESP.
That's right. I farted most of my day away and didn't look at my email or even do much that was productive

"there’s an educational trivia game at the citadel on the exhibits on different planets called “Dog or Not?” that shows pictures of various four legged mammals and asks if they’re a breed of dog.
it was mainly for kids to learn about the diversity of earth’s flora and fauna but it became popular with adult aliens too and had to be shut down after almost causing no less than three diplomatic incidents.
Beloved is still a fan of Tom "gone completely gonzo" Cruise for reasons that I do not understand. And I have to say that Universal really should have stayed with the Brendan Fraser Mummy movies because those were made of awesome. Well. The first one was made of awesome. The rest had increasing concentrations of suck.
You all know about the 'sweet spots' in the movie frame, thanks to the links I put into yesterday's rant about Pervy Cam. Well, let me

Brownie points for "OMG! You're Them!" moment. -- Knitnan
Being a Power isn't as much fun as the comic books would make you believe. For a start, the seemingly endless battles with the Big Bad hardly ever happen. And when they do, it's not something you want to live through. Most of my life is patrolling the streets and trying to stop trouble before it
