@scalzi.com am on Day 6 of Moon. Giggling helplessly whenever Wheaton says, "What KIND of cheese?" and at the subsequent evasions. So far, listening to Moon is as if 7 Eves got soaked in serotonin so it was actually pleasurable to read. No shade to Stephenson, but that'n bummed me out for YEARS.

When Trump pardons people, he's not pardoning their best. He's pardoning people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

He will steal, sir, an egg out of a cloister. For rapes and ravishments he parallels Nessus. He professes not keeping of oaths; in breaking ’em he is stronger than Hercules. He will lie, sir, with such volubility, that you would think truth were a fool.
