@clive@saturation.social Number 7 (the book with probabilistic text) reminds me of Find the Fox, a 200-page word search book that has just the letters 'F', 'O', and 'X' in all of its grids but only one instance of the word 'FOX' in *the whole book* to find. I'm reminded of this because, in order to prevent spoilers, the author used a script to generate the grids in each copy - no two books have the fox in the same place!

@BeamsAndBows@mastodon.sdf.org It was literally the first song that came to mind for the theme and I was stunned no one else posted it yet.

@parkermolloy Keith Olbermann was vitriolic over the raid on the Countdown podcast. I'd quote the crap out of it here if I had the time at the moment; instead I'll just link to the YouTube version of the episode and tell you the relevant bit starts right at the 19-minute mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaSRS-YWmcE

@matunos @parkermolloy James Thurber and Elizabeth Montgomery come to mind. Besides, he's usually just snarky. He's only truly angry when it's warranted (which is happening more and more often; admittedly, he appears to get worse, but that's because the Overton Window is rapidly sliding).
