Dad, Connoisseur of the Finest Nerditry, Pretty Good Guy. Would love to get off social media long enough to write any of the books I have percolating on Notion right now. Sigh. Name change, I know, doesn't help. linktr.ee/travisgjohnson

Every right thinking American wants it to end like The Boys finale.

In a conference call about Mythos. One of the speakers just said “Welcome to the Machine Wars.” Nerds are way too excited about the ways AI could go bad.

Paramount is really making it feel like they’re closing up their Star Trek shop.

I wonder what the food cubes tasted like. And under what circumstances they chose food cubes instead of, for instance, a chicken salad and coffee?

Data centers don’t employee very many people in the long run, friend. That’s the whole point of them.

I’ve never seen more solo dudes in a movie theater than at this showing of Mortal Kombat II.

All this “Golden Age” talk reminds me of the BBC announcers in the Chris Eccleston/David Tennant Doctor Who seasons. Hyperbolic language that ended up being used to describe the Slitheen, the Master or an increasingly maniacal Harriet Jones.

They have no idea. Guarantee it becomes part of the 50% of data center projects that aren’t completed or cancelled. They can’t even keep up with GPU demand anymore. Data centers are the US equivalent of the Chinese ghost cities: their sole purpose is keeping the economy afloat.

Watching the Star Talk episode with Andy Weir. This conversation is so horrifically awkward.. I feel so bad for Chuck.

Drought in the contiguous United States has reached record levels for this time of year. Meteorologists said it’s a bad sign for the upcoming wildfire season, food prices and western water issues. bit.ly/4vBDFMl

The record-setting U.S. drought is so bad that 97% of the Southeast and two-thirds of the West are parched | Fortune
Drought usually peaks in summer, not spring, and that's what worries meteorologists.

I think it’s because they’ve been trained to equate dollars with speech. And they think public opinion, no matter what it is today, can be swayed by $300 million.

@hntdove.bsky.social quick question, sir: have you ever thought about writing a novel where the Confederates were properly punished as traitors?

I’ve just realized the subtext of Warhammer 40K is that the only way to have peace is for people to embrace diversity. If the galaxy embraced diversity, it would literally end the game.

Right? Acknowledging a 25 year old is attractive is one thing. Engaging with a 25 year old in that way just sounds so exhausting (ethically, intellectually, physically) that I couldn’t complete the thought process necessary to move forward.

On a tangential note: have there ever been thoughts about an Old Man’s War RPG? There are so many directions you could take with that!

Actually asking. Thought he was a bit of a narcissist before, but had no idea he was anti-black.

We could be, but that would be longer term. Our economy would collapse over the next few months. We’d certainly have a famine. We’d die slowly.

This is my biggest fear. It’s what befell Biden and it’s because Joe Keyboard Thumbs (replaced Joe Sixpack) doesn’t take time to educate himself. He wants to give his opinion, not form a well-informed one.

“ I have a theory that bigoted white people who live in relative isolation are less adaptable than people who actually live among diverse populations” is not the groundbreaking theory she thinks it is.

I’m hoping, now that Star Trek’s time on TV is fading away, that they let IDW or Simon and Schuster (?) go wild like they did in the 80s.

Not surprised, boat still very disappointed. I guess we’ll get the Abram’s-style pew pew Trek next.
