Absolutely tore through this one - stayed up way too late reading it and then greedily read the rest at lunchtime. Another fine adventure, @seananmcguire.bsky.social - I'll save the novella for another day.

I kinda grew up with these guys, so it's difficult to pick just one. So I'll pick two: Grover and Fozzie, who are both genuinely good, try very hard, sometimes screw up, but always come good in the end.

It's official. I do not like the Supergirl film, with its orange-and-brown filter Mad Max/ Mos Eisley aesthetic, lack of a plot, and … look, HOW many times does Supergirl need to hang dramatically backlit in the sky? Also, CGI Krypto? C'mon.

Supergirl is streaming on HBO Max. I watched about twenty minutes. Does it get fun later? Where's the hero part of this superhero film? Why is it in outer space? Why is outer space horrible and squalid and muddy and brown brown brown? I must not be in the right frame of mind for this film.

This is moot, anyway, since I decided months ago I wasn’t gonna get the new folding goodness and went ahead to get an iPhone 17 when it was still at the old price. Traded in my 15 Plus, too, so it was a good buy.
