Appropriate! Pratchett is sort of like Wodehouse but with the anger that Orwell saw in Dickens.

No, it's a threat. If it doesn't have the Trump name, he will ruin it out of spite.

The guy in Scrooged was pretty horny, talking about the Kama Sutra stuff he used to do with his ex on national television.

"The US population will probably be around 350 million by then." Not if RFK Jr. has anything to say about it!

It's all about the author and not about the "ingredients" at all. Like, I have no interest in romance, but if Lois McMaster Bujold or T. Kingfisher wrote it, I'm going to relish it.

Alan Dershowitz thinks it's in the Constitution that you're not allowed to be mean to Alan Dershowitz.

I never took to the character, but I would be interested in the adventures of a swashbuckling drag queen Gambit!

I layer on the voice real thick. That's the most fun part of the writing for me.

Every now and then I accidentally judge someone else by the standards I use for myself, and it's fantastically cruel and unjust. Of course I never learn anything from this.

I disagree because I can barely find the map when it's at the front of the book. If it were on like Page 43 I would never be able to find it when I want to see how far it is to Sapphiria from The Badlands.

A transphobe being a domestic abuser is, like, the least surprising reveal ever.

When I was a kid, I didn't realize that every song on the radio was about romance/sex. I thought they could be about all kinds of things! So in "All Out of Love," I thought he was singing "I know you were right/Believing the Solon." I vaguely knew that a Solon was some sort of authority figure, so..

I've seen dozens of jokes about this movie and I still don't know the title. Which is fine with me because it sounds like the jokes are the best part anyway.

The dude's politics absolutely do suck, but also, it's a real problem that *everything* in this country is for sale, including the things that we all rely on in common.

He really thought you were 30 but was too polite to say so. Because 30 is so *old*!

So men are the problem, but women are the ones we should "look at"? This kind of sounds like victim-blaming with extra steps.

And non-binary folks! We should elect a senator who uses they/them pronouns. Might cause some strokes where they could do the most good.

You know what, if we can't find any men to run who aren't rapists, we should just run women. I'm fine with that.

I mean, they probably are getting some unfair criticism, but it's kinda buried under all the perfectly fair criticism.

I always thought that sounded disgusting until I had it at a bistro in France and they didn't use jarred mayonnaise, they used fresh-made mayonnaise, and it was *so* good.

Rape is more than a "thought crime". It's an actual physical crime! And a rapist who suddenly gains a lot of power is going to use it to rape a lot more people. That's how rapists behave.

What is remarkable about Elon and other high-profile billionaires is that they don't have *any* of the things that money can't buy. By contrast, Stephen King, a very wealthy man with .04% of Elon's money, is loved, respected, and creatively fulfilled. His kids admire him!

They should start using that to advertise the brown bottles of hydrogen peroxide that you buy at the drugstore. "Now with advanced nanobubbler technology!"

I know I'm desperate enough right now that I'd be tempted. And that's why being a billionaire is not enough - they want everyone else to be poor.

I can see a path for getting away with that. "If I get your liver, your family will get enough money to be comfortable forever. If I die of liver cancer, you get nothing." The two of them fly to a poor medical-tourism country, and Elon comes back alone.

He already praised Hitler, so it makes sense that Dracula is next. Maybe next he'll talk about how Judas or Jack the Ripper were anti-immigration heroes.
