@ma1ybe A conductor's job is so much more than just being a metronome for the musicians. She must articulate her vision, her interpretation of what the music means by embodying the music and communicating that to the musicians.

I think she's doing an excellent job.

@4Ginetes @NiallMacJohnson @AccountSoc69332 @TheCinesthetic This is correct. Black holes are not inescapable until you dip below the event horizon. They can be orbited (accretion disk turbulence notwithstanding) just as easily as any star or planet.

@LeCasRendash @teacherkiat_tan @TheCinesthetic Thank you. I stand corrected.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@teacherkiat_tan @TheCinesthetic I think it was a year.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@AccountSoc69332 @TheCinesthetic Close. The planet is in orbit not around a massive sun, but around a black hole, which dilates time and causes massive tides in the planet's watery surface.

@FirstNameJ0hn Oh, sure, fire Count Chocula, but Gay-Ass Frankenberry gets to keep his job?

And don't even get me started about that Pedo Leprechaun...

The rollout isn't complete, but here is a list of the vendors currently selling my novel:

My debut novel is just beginning to land on virtual and brick-and-mortar store shelves. My cover artist, Charlotte, *really* knocked it out of the park on the cover. 😍

It's about first contact gone horribly wrong, and how the MC figures out what she needs to do to save Earth.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@damnidc__ I applaud you. That is a double-plus-good way to be.

@NM5WRLD I remember when Pizza Hut was a sit-down restaurant with wait staff.

I also remember when Jack in the Box was drive-thru only.

And I remember when Quizno's, well, just was.

And I remember when there were no coffee shops.

I remember Piggly Wiggly, Winn Dixie, & Safeway.

@GomezReporting Given that I have never seen a MAGAt capable of comprehending satire or irony (Have you ever seen a MAGAt standup comic who was actually funny?), I'm inclined to believe he's MAGA. But I still have questions...

What if First Contact occurred during World War II? https://t.co/XExgVML3L7 The Oracle comes out this Friday! For the adventure of a lifetime, preorder a copy now!

@Vincent_Bek Thanks for reposting this, Vincent. I don't know how I missed it before, but this reminder did the trick, and your book now on my Kindle. 📖

@Super70sSports I grew up in the 70s listening to Bach, Respighi, and Yes.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@jtomase @Super70sSports As a once-disaffected 70s teen who was one of only two YES fan in my very large high school, I approve of this recommendation.

@RonFilipkowski Woods sort of has a point. Those Dairy Queen mob fights are starting to get out of hand. And don't even get me started about how UNcorny Taco Bell's atmosphere is. Besides, an old cracker like Woods simply belongs at "The Barrel" as we call it. Preferably at the bottom.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@GavinNewsom On that, you and I disagree. I believe it's gaslighting at its stupidest.

[Brian Wells 🖋 @AndroidAstro]

@GavinNewsom Abbot's threat to eliminate ten Democratic seats in Texas reveals his willingness to circumvent the law to further his agenda. That he doesn't know how stupid it is to say the quiet part out loud like this is as revealing of his intelligence as it is of his corruption.

@TexasBorn25 @SocomRaiders @RonFilipkowski Because they're not even making minimum wage, whereas you are making at least that.

If we tax tips for wait staff so they can be like the rest of us, then they should also have a base income that meets or exceeds minimum wage. You know: like the rest of us.
