Is she getting Noem'ed? Or is that bit about "private enterprise" or whatever it was meaning total excommunication from the Orange Presence?
Like one of the the Jewish ideas of Hell ie being unable to be in the presence of God.
*Googles* Is that "Sheol", or something called "Karet"?
She was chucked out like hot garbage. She is moving to an important private sector job that will be announced soon ie. when she finally finds one.
More concerning is that the chief of the Army was fired as well. They didn't even wait for easter weekend to try and bury it. Iran isnt even a ground war so what was the Head of the army saying that Hegseth felt he needed to be fired.
I worry america is going to start having whiplash as the presidency changes hands and we try to reverse every decision the last president made. The list of things that Trump has done that will need to be reversed in 1 year alone just keeps growing.
Cause, that's the plan. Their entire plan. All of this is by design. -

Abyss, on 25 October 2024 - 03:37 AM, said:Just Finished Martha Wells' BOOK OF THE RAKSURA bk 1, THE CLOUD ROADS. I enjoyed it. I can see how she ended up writing Murderbot so well, because while her Raksura are humanoid, they are definitely NOT human, and Well's is very effective at making them just different enough without being outright alien. It's a fun book about a solitary Raksura (shapeshifters who can appear more or less human but have a winged lizardperson form too) finding his people and tryng to fit in while helping them against a competing but mustachetwirlingly evil competing flying lizardsperson race. It moves fast, the characters are engaing, and she nicely dodges a lot of the self-pity and angst traps the book could have fallen into. SOlid work from the earbook narrator. I went straight in to bk 2 THE SERPENT SEA, which picks up immediately after bk. So far so good.
Also, still listening to THE SILT VERSES audiodrama, still impressed, still recommended.
Confession time: I bought the first three Raksura audiobooks back in 2018 and have been sitting on them ever since. Lately though, I keep thinking about how you were raving about these and threw on the first book. I feel dumb for sitting on these for 8 years now. You're completely right about how well Wells did with making the civilization sympathetic and yet clearly not human. -

Picked up my copy yesterday but no promises to actually read it for awhile since I'm still working my way through The Library Trilogy.
I think Daughter of Crows has to be my favorite of your covers though, Mark. Hopefully some people break the old rule and pick it up just for the cover. -

It's lovely. Hard to articulate beyond that, but the prose is so vivid and just a delight to read. Captures childhood incredibly well thus far.
JPK - if this isn't in your classics list, I think you would really enjoy it.
Thank you for the recommendation. Adding it now. -

God's Junk Drawer by Peter Clines is $1.99 on Amazon and Kobo both. I'm a bit over halfway into this now and can honestly say it's worth it for sure. Dinos, aliens, cavemen, cyborgs, and robots. Oh my.
There's also a massive Discworld Humble Bundle going. $16 for 39 books. Looks like these might not be drm free though.
