I saw it the first time hopped up on cold meds, in a theater -- if you weren't with me then, I was drug free and it was my second viewing.

Ace Attorney is more harem than Ranma, in my admittedly limited and biased opinion.

That said, dang, that brother-sister pair is problematic, and not just because of the incest.

I admit I enjoyed the show, and felt very called out when @mnemex.bsky.social said that the character I played was the guy who got 3 cracked ribs or something because he had to crash his bike in some backstory event to keep from injuring some kids.

Fair. I think I have now demonstrated adequate ignorance of Nabokov.

No -- I'm fairly unread in Russian authors. I've read CRIME AND PUNISHMENT and a couple of short stories.

It's very much an old model, a 10-inch Asus tablet.

Is this a case where, say, an older tablet that someone isn't using any longer might be of use?

Scheduling is The NEMESIS!

Yes. This. It's telling people who can't handle the heat, which includes me, to eff off and die.

Makes my "I managed to take out a live mouse and release it into a nearby park, despite both my efforts and the mouse's" pale to invisibility.

Lemonade/sekanjubin/shrub/gater-or-powerade. (I know this is drink, not food, but it's really important to keep pouring the liquids in.)

I like it.

Certainly entertaining enough I'd have watched a third.

I... could believe that, yes. (...hunts for my old recorder...)

It has some things to say, in theory, but in practice, it's muddled enough that you're not substantially wrong. But... I don't think it was impeccably made.

It's great except a) it completely undercuts Batman-as-detective, b) they just leave him there when they could, you know, take him off the board, and c) apparently no one cares he (and Batman) must have caused so much death, car destruction, and road destruction?

As is the finding out he lied at least a bit and is still deep down scum. I'm good with that. It's just -- 2 hours to get there. And they're not *bad* hours; they just... exist.

My first reaction to seeing Bruce Wayne (as opposed to Batman): He... looks like The Crow. Which... is a choice.

If you can get Phyllis Ann Karr's At Amberleaf Fair, that'd be perfect.

I probably could, but am dubious about the demand for it.

I had to stop myself from recommending this amazing book called SUMMER IN ORCUS.

Have you read Samuel Delany's BABEL-17? If not, do! I found Jean Mark Gawron's ALGORITHM highly weird and fascinating, but don't remember it well and need to reread it. Also, Alaya Dawn Johnson's The Summer Prince, Jordan Ifueko's RAYBEARER/REDEMPTOR and basically anything by Nicky Drayden.

Yup. I remember hearing about a scene in a TOS episode that was important and that I'd never seen, even though I had seen the episode more than once.

I'd buy the book/watch the show.

Yes! We have a sort of politeness sometimes perceived as rudeness which is founded on the assumption that people don't want to be made to acknowledge each other. And that we're all in a hurry.

I'm sure it does (and I'm sure I sometimes mistake it for a second "follow this project" link). It's just I've 4 different eddresses, am on too many lists, and after doing things that aren't email curation, often lose track of which things I've clicked on where.

Have clicked on follow. (Have no idea whether this is the first time I've done so for this.)

So when can I throw money at you?

We decided to postpone our eye doctor appointments, which were supposed to be yesterday. You know, when the subways were having issues due to all the rain. And then, going out at 6ish, when the rain was much less, for sushi (and to get a prescription).
