@MorningSong@weirder.earth Truth is reputed to be slippery, and saponification is very fun to say

@ami_angelwings@urusai.social Oh, I think the only time I got trolls in my replies on twitter was when I posted something similar

Once upon a time there was a push to replace "manned" spacecraft with "crewed"
Had to end the Fate of Cthulhu campaign I was running early, today. Which sucks and is damaging to my confidence, but ultimately for the best since people were not having fun with it.
Need to work on my improv skills, and as much as I love the game Fate combat always seems to devolve into a bit of a slog? I feel like that ought not to be so and yet yet it appears to be.
On the bright side, now I have more time over the next couple of months to work on the next campaign, once the group's main game wraps up. That one is going to be Jenna Moran's Glitch RPG, though, which is daunting after the failure of this one. #FateOfCthulhu, #FateRPG, #GlitchRPG

"Here is information about our JP availability"
"It says on the website that you have one today"
"Not on our website"
"But we asked Google for JPs in the area today …"
"Google lied to you"
More common now but not entirely new. I see this as an extension of Google's prior project to replace visits to websites with those info summary boxes they would place at the beginning of search results. Part of what I think is their project to delegitimise all rival sources of information
Conlang designed with the goal of making it impossible to change the meaning of a statement by surreptitiously adding or removing a word
Tamarians watch Star Trek VI and are like "finally a species that knows how to talk straight. We should have made first contact with them"

@Lacci@disabled.social the impression I always got is it plays on the notion that human agriculture is totally dependent on the European honeybee, and without them we would all starve and die
