On the one hand, opting out from all data collection with every data broker I can think of. On the other hand, posting on social media. #DualityOfMan

Reminder to new users here: Most hardback books these days have glued, rather than sewn, bindings. This means they’re basically paperbacks with hard covers. And because the covers are bigger than the book blocks, they slowly sag and pull their own spines out. Buy trade paperbacks instead.

I think I understand why this place is better than the other place. Everyone posts. It's like zero lurkers. It's nice that Bluesky users feel comfortable putting themselves out there. Anyway, just doing my part to not be a lurker.

About twice a year I attempt to post something mildly interesting on the subreddit r/mildlyinteresting. Every time it gets removed by a mod for violating some rule. This time it was for Rule 6: "Titles must be exact and concise descriptions." I have no idea why I find this so infuriating, but I do.

I got a covid booster yesterday. Unrelated, I have been reading "Julia: A Novel" by Sandra Newman. It's a retelling of Orwell's "1984" from the perspective of Julia, Winston Smith's lover and co-conspirator. This probably explains the fever dreams about solving Newspeak logic using calculus.

@cathykolcun.bsky.social welcome to Blue Sky. Try not to marvel too much at the acceptable levels of polite discourse here.

Hi to my 27 followers. It's been kind of a crazy 96 hours, so I am sorry I haven't been able to provide you with the kind of content you deserve. I will do better.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day, commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1983 Soviet Nuclear False Alarm incident. Petrov was a Soviet officer who saved the world from nuclear war. Today is a day to reflect on the importance of human judgment and the consequences of technology in our world.

Guys, I'm not a dumb dummy, and I'm sure my normal patter could be useful to the general discourse. I keep trying to think of really good content to post. How do you all do it? I'm looking specifically at you, @scalzi.com, because you somehow post like 600 messages a day.
