"Patch why are you watching Andor so many times."

"I haven't enjoyed a' Star Wars property since the Phantom Menace came out andt his honestly feels more like Star Wars than Return of the Jedi did."

in reply to Patch Arcana

I finished off Andor 2 a few weeks ago & then had to watch Rogue One. I'm definitely enjoying the expanded universe a lot more than the films
in reply to Sivation

@Sivation Andor made me appreciate Rogue One in a way I did not originally respect it in the first place. I really didn't care at all for Andor's character in Rogue One. The show completely changed the math on that.
in reply to Patch Arcana

the only downside for Andor 2 was when they tried to do the "lead characters in mortal danger!" card and.... well, see, Rogue One & all!

@Sivation High point of the second series, honestly. For a lot of reasons, but I'm a huge fan of that whole sequence and location.

#WritersCoffeeClub 29Jul—How happy or bittersweet are your endings?

It's not a spoiler to say that the ending of The Way of the Wielder series will be a happy one. I've been telling readers that from the start.

But each individual book's ending...

Book one: a little bittersweet
Book two: traumatic AF
Book three: happy
Book four: HEA

I write romantic fantasy, and IMO the characters involved in that should have a HEA or happy for now, even if other aspects of the plot do not.

IT'S #MONSTERDON

we will be watching

The Raven (1963)

"Magician Erasmus Craven (Vincent Price) is still deeply depressed two years after the death of his beloved wife, Lenore (Hazel Court). One day, he's visited by Adolphus Bedlo (Peter Lorre), who has been transformed into a raven after losing a duel to Dr. Scarabus (Boris Karloff), an evil wizard. After Craven transforms Bedlo back into a human, Bedlo claims to have seen Lenore's ghost at Scarabus' castle, prompting the two to head to Scarabus' castle to seek Craven's lost love."

There's not enough paint in the world to paint all the dicks it would take to make NE Going street (my neighborhood East/West bike boulevard) a smooth ride. Every type of pavement imaginable was used in different stretches of it and it's all thrashed. It would be one long giant dick only visible from the air.

If you want to see the rules on any Mastodon server:

1. Go to its website (you don't need to log in or be a member)
2. If you're on a phone click ☰ and then "About" at bottom of menu, on a computer click the "About" link next to server's name in bottom left corner
3. Scroll down to the section marked "Server Rules" and click on it to open it

This can be really useful if you're looking for a server to join or move to, as you can see how seriously the admin takes moderation.

As far as I know it's generally up to the admin to mention extra features in the description. I've listed some Fediverse servers with longer-than-500 character limits over on @FediGarden at:

fedi.garden/tag/larger-post-si…

Also, Glitch and Hometown servers tend to have more features such as markdown etc:

fedi.garden/tag/glitch-mastodo…

Sharkey is a totally different kind of Fediverse platform which has extra features:

A look at Catherine Hanley's book on the Empress Matilda, who very very nearly became England's first sovereign Queen. Could she have done it ? Yes, probably. Would it have made much difference to history ? Sadly no, probably not. There's also an extensive look at medieval attitudes to gender which is interestingly nuanced : sometimes, it was every bit as discriminatory as you'd expect, but not always. Even among the head-lopping Norman magnates there were plenty of supporters who would have been fine with having a woman on the throne... though there were also many who simply couldn't stomach the idea.

I'm curious if something interesting happens if you have chatGPT keep talking against itself
in reply to Summer Jo ☀️

I made this whole framework thing where you can have (locally hosted) LLMs talk with itself in various contexts that each register themselves on an internal message bus. it's.. interesting definitely, though it has no internal motivation or goals, so you kinda gotta seed it with something, but once you do it definitely becomes a weirdly intelligent system that's hyperfocused on getting that thing done

So, if Israel go back to the two-state solution, the UK won't recognise Palestine as a seperate state as part of it?

Disney: Please make us a new star war.
Whoever the fuck wrote andor: the opening sequence will be the main character being shaken down outside what is certainly a brothel by corrupt corporate guards. This will result in Petunia Dursley saying "Fuck the Empire" and setting off a chain of events that destroys the first death star.
Disney: ... Okay, we have to change that line to "Fight the Empire".
WTFWA: Fine, but we get to have Boris Sherbina kill himself in the name of the rebellion.
