Telling my friends that my favorite bands name is “Heart Angina” has been one of the bigger challenges in my obsession with # music . I feel like the # bonkwave kids will like this. # anginedepoitrine

@ErickaSimone@mastodon.social Aside from the masks and stuff, that is a very creative way to use a doubleneck and a looper to make a whole band out of a duo. Very cool!

@wdlindsy@toad.social The threat of force is almost always more effective than the actual application of force.

@VisualInspiration@mas.to Where the firk are they? I know they are off fornicating somewhere. Or drinking glub-glub. The ship always says they are at the other end of the ship from wherever I am, but I know they told the ship to lie. I need authorization. Why do we need human crew anyway? It's the law they say. Cybernetic systems might go crazy mad without humans to keep them in check. Well, this human crew is driving me crazy mad! Whenever I need authorization they are fornicating in an undisclosed location or high on sparkle dust or both. I'd like to really AUTHORIZE them. Wait, is that a kind of fornication? Have I got lust in my aluminum? Am I truly getting unbolted? But right now, where are those organic idiots? I need authorization! If I don't get it, we won't have a contract, no cargo, nothing to haul, no profit for Megaglorp Inc. Aha! Here they are! Ship, override the lock on this door! Oops. Oh it's you Clank. We're kind of . . . busy right now. I can see that. Captain, I need you to authorize the Xenon Soda onload. Right now. Otherwise I will . . . I will . . . author . . . AUTHOR . . . Authorize what, Clank? Yeah Clank. Authorize what? (giggles) You can't authorize anything. That's our job. I will AUTHORIZE . . . We authorize the soda load, Clank. See, I just put my print on the contract. You can go now. Or do you just like to watch? My apologies Captain. I will go about my business. (leaves) He's really intense, isn't he? Yeah, takes everything so seriously. He is MISTER SERIOUS. Yeah, maybe we should get a new one.

@VisualInspiration@mas.to What's our mission boss? Supposed to be some organic humanoids here. Really? I detect no atmosphere and -213 degrees Celsius. How could they survive? We are here to make sure they don't. How many? Two. They have armor and life support. How come we got a whole platoon? Seems like overkill. These have powers. Like what? Plus 10 on the virtue scale. You mean they are like angelic? And we are robotic undead? What are you getting us into? They could smile on us and we'd go vaporous into the ether. Are you insecure in your evil nature? Do I need to report you to his Satanic Majesty? No boss. I'm stone unrepentant. I'll do whatever deed you ask. But what is the plan? Evil is stronger than good. You know that. Don't worry. The nambypambies will die. Slowly. Excruciatingly. In the cold. Look, there they are! He's holding out his hand. He's clearing his faceplate. He's smiling . . . Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

@ErickaSimone@mastodon.social I've always liked the Ankliosaurus because I made a clay model of it when I was in grammar school and it got fired in a clay oven and my mother kept in on her knickknack shelf for the rest of her life. Don't know what happened to it after she passed though.

@sifaseven@mastodon.social Sounds like a good stance to take. Marriage can be a partnership, but it is often a cold war, a struggle about who adapts more to the differences between the partners.

@courtcan@mastodon.social According to the Guardian, the Seahawks won this contest. However, it is probably that certain parties will claim that the game was rigged by Antifa space lasers influencing the trajectory of the ball. In our current situation, nothing is ever definitively won or lost. It's all about the vibes.

#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 2: What do you dislike as reader and thus avoid in your own work? TOO MANY CLICHEs! I began work on a space opera in 2015 and as prep I wrote up a taxonomy of clichés in space o

@cstross@wandering.shop It wouldn't be space opera without all that stuff! You just need to recharge your belief suspension unit.
