I’ve been doing this for the more complex books with a lot of world building.

I guess my statement was too broad, I don’t want to go to any tourist attraction that has that many. I have been in many airports and malls, but not for the joy of experiencing nature or history, my two favorite things.

Although I’d love to see the buildings of the Acropolis I would never go anywhere that has 20,000 visitors a day. Nope.

I don’t understand how the police decided this guy hadn’t planned to attack a church for racist reasons. Sounds like they didn’t find evidence at his house about his intention to attack a black church, but that doesn’t preclude racism as a reason.

I’m watching Foundation. Watched one episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I might continue watching that until our subscription to Paramount Plus runs out.

Are they going to blame Ukrainian drones?

I’m re-reading the First Law series, actually listening to Steven Pacey read it to me. I recently finished Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. I want to read A Memory Called Empire next.

This point will be lost in the reaction to this new approach. These people have been paying back their debt for a long time. Errors have been made. Relief is on the way.

I agree. I don’t think the enshittification of Reddit is complete yet. Just like how Elon finds more ways to make Twitter worse.

I am so relieved that the special prosecutor is defending the rule of law with these indictments. If the Republicans (and not just Trump) got away with trying to overturn the election we could lose our democracy. We still can, but at least they are going to trial against this would-be tyrant and some of the people who helped him.

I think I heard that Poppinkream is a woman. I’m so happy to see them on Lemmy.

I know that the international ultra conservative movement wants to erase LBGTQ rights, but this is one I hadn’t considered. Chiseling away the rights of gay parents in order to jealously guard the “traditional” family is mean and stupid.

Wikipedia is more accurate “convicted serial child molester”. Why does the media downplay his crimes?

This is good news for beach goers, that stuff stinks. I’m not sure what it means for the environment.

Not an expert, but here is where I set up a recurring donation. Apparently Mastadon.world and Lemmy.world are run by the same admins. Took me a while to understand this, please correct me if I’m wrong.

I can’t find Memmy on the Apple App Store. Is there another way to get it?

I first saw “enshitification” used in a blog post by Cory Doctorow about TikTok. Love the term. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys.

I listened to the 2nd and 3rd books of the Murderbot series on a car ride recently. I had read them before, but it was the first time that he did. I really enjoyed laughing with him.
