Old git with too much spare time

@CheezvsHCrvst @ReReadingWolfe Every time I read it I find new ways of interpreting the story.
Who are The Free People?
Tulpas?
Settlers gone "native"?
Or (my own most batshit take) fairies from Old Earth?

@djthorx @UnplannedTrek It's fine.
Check out Zack Handler's summary.
It's amazingly unambitious, but will probably amble along amiably.
The Orville, but canon.

@CryptoWhale Perhaps he can now disappear completely, and so do his unlucky compatriots some service.

@Samfr @MariadeleBocca1 C.S. Lewis' throwaway comment (from The Chronicles of Narnia) that it is dangerous to pretend to be stupider than you are because it's so easy to succeed, is always pertinent.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@AndyCroy @Samfr He doesn't pay them to tell him the truth.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@boddyparts @Aaron_Skyguy Yeah.
It's a bit sad.
They gestured at https://t.co/cESYadOgqY and interesting, then didn't follow through.

@ShowerAbsolute That's a "pistols at dawn" assertion in my book.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@ShowerAbsolute Are you claiming that Breaking Bad wasn't funny?

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@EDRiley1982 @ShowerAbsolute Absolutely.
It has some of the most hilarious lines I've ever encountered on TV

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@NickCohen4 @SteveACooper @Samfr Damn.
I'd love it so much if they all just walked away.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@AdequateEmily Never heard of him before.
He certainly came across as a complete douche here.

@Bec2043 @Sime0nStylites @iainmartin1 @Samfr We can't say life hasn't been exciting recently...

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@MacAlbatross @Samfr @Sime0nStylites @iainmartin1 In retrospect I'm rather glad Remainers weren't offered anything at all.
It allowed us to keep our hands clean.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@Bec2043 @Sime0nStylites @iainmartin1 @Samfr It's easy to forget the miasma of panic which blanketed the country then.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@Sime0nStylites @iainmartin1 @Samfr There was no other deal available at the time.
Really all he had to do was accept The Protocol and then fail to implement the parts he didn't like.
All this grandstanding is ridiculously unnecessary.

@marwood_lennox We just hear more about it when it involves United Statespersons.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@flying_rodent Everyone loved Muttley.
Rentoul not so much.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@iainmartin1 @Samfr @Sime0nStylites One like is one too many.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@Sime0nStylites Another turn on the hamster wheel.

[Alan Pennue @AlanPennue]

@RufusSG Sigh, sigh, sigh.
Extraordinary that USA is so much better.
