Let's start with a quick recap and capstone of something that has gripped the Internet for the last two weeks: Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood. So, it apparently turns out that This is How You Lose The Time War is responsible for This Is How You Lose The Time War becoming the phenomenon that it did. The creator of a podcast called Hello From The Hallowoods got inspired by Time War and believed that there was space to do queer media from the success of Time War, which itself led to a situation where they guested on a different podcast (The Silt Verses) and recommended Time War to the listeners of Silt Verses. Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood listened to the Silt Verses, picked up the book on the recommendation of the guests, and then created the tweet that went wildly, extremely, cosplay-inspiring viral. Which boosted Time War to an immense degree of popularity, sales, and The Internet making memes.
And now, for the capstone, specifically: Time War made it to the NYT Bestseller list. (That's Amal.) Time War made it to the NYT Bestseller list. (That's Max.)
And also, people who find Bigolas Dickolas at convention are (properly) asking for signatures on their copies of Time War.
The One Right Word. Or, in this case, the One Right Tweet.
Sadly, there is no more Tina Turner, passed on at 83 years of age after a long battle with cancer. Fuck cancer forever.
There is good news in the world, regarding disease elimination, the greater safety of the world, and rights going forward, rather than backward, in the world. But it's not what gets focused on in a lot of media stories, so more of the usual to follow.
( Everything else is under this cut )
Last out, If you've used Facebook between 24 May 2007 and 22 December 2022, you might be able to receive whatever small amount is your part of a settlement from a class-action lawsuit against the company.
And some suggestions on how to recognize and reroute your cognitive shortcuts so they bias you less than the otherwise might.
And, of course, recognizing when you need to take time and read books under a flashlight instead of trying to face another day.
