@monsterhunter45 Wait, are talking about one of the greatest hooks of all time?

"On one otherwise normal Tuesday evening I had the chance to live the American dream. I was able to throw my incompetent jackass of a boss from a fourteenth-story window.

This one?

@vale_wanderer @monsterhunter45 @Jringo1508 Library acquisition people are generally toxic to anyone to the right of Stalin and or not one of the many letter people.
In @Jringo1508 own town, the acquisition person told me that she was on a mission to get rid of "Baen trash and Ringo in particular. "

@monsterhunter45 Larry, your problem is is you have a work ethic, learned your craft, honor your commitments, and don't do enough coke to influence the GDP of Columbia.

You will always write good books and never win a Hugo unless you change.

Never change.

Had to respond to a friend who accused me of being blind to truth about the Karmelo Anthony case because of my profession. My response to him and anyone else with this mindset is as follows :

“The most disrespectful comments usually start with “With all due respect.”

No. I am a Black man who happens to be a police officer. My law enforcement JOB, doesn’t minimize my opinion. It actually strengthens it as I have get to see things from all perspectives while you are limited to what you are told to think as a Black person. You are conditioned to only see things through a racial lens first. The same lens I was indoctrinated to see things through until I saw the other side. Choosing logic over emotion doesn’t make me less Black or make me forget what it is to be Black.

While you are led by your feelings, I am enhanced with the knowledge, understanding and practical application of the law.

Regardless of my complexion, 2 + 2 will always be 4. The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. It will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter and….

If you stab someone for just pushing you, you will be charged.

Some things are just what they are and have zero to do with race but personal actions and choices.

At the end of the day, if you don’t want to end up caught up in a system you feel is corrupted, think before your actions so you don’t get caught up.

If someone cared enough about Karmelo to tell him this, he’d be free right now.”

The same Amazon decisionmaking which greenlit the immensely terrible and disliked Rings of Power turns off the spigot for a Stargate series which (if details are correct) would have respected the prior shows and their extant fanbase.

Good morning @elonmusk This is your daily request to breach That South American River's chokehold on author audiences. Only you can do it!

@DavidJohnButler This is the Star Trek /Star Wars crossover we need. Kirk and Spock use the Guardian of Forever to go back and insure that Kathleen Kennedy never left her production company to take over Lucasfilm.

Luke, Han, and Leia go back and insure that Kurtzman never does Trek.

@acrobatichobbit @Devon_Eriksen_ I was wondering how this scene was going to fit into BOT.... :)

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@BradRTorgersen I applaud her Tom Sawyer approach to writing.

@FPVaughanIII @TKratman @LimbicdocMiller Let's see, do I go with the dude from "Western Canada" or the guy who's a retired US Army infantry Lt Col. who has 23 published novels under his belt along with essays on logistics.

Oh, and he's practiced law before being recalled to teach at the Army War College.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@acrobatichobbit @AnEriksenWife Y'all don't make Devon have to get up from Book 2 to settle this. :)

@RobertPicardo Americans along with Canada voted with their eyeballs. Choosing not to watch.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@BradRTorgersen I've noticed Robert Picardo and others of his mindset getting savagely ratioed by people saying " I watched it, didn't like it and didn't watch any more.
Paramount noticed and took action.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@donaldkoenig @BradRTorgersen Numbers don't lie. SFA had a very high cost per episode, too many main characters, a near total disregard for cannon, and crap writing.

It's also a victim of the ten episode season of streaming. You have to come strong out of the gate. SNW did. SFA didn't.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@fandompulse Third: too many characters for a 10 episode season. The strongest episodes have been the ones with a tighter focus on a smaller group.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@fandompulse I have made myself watch a few episodes. Some of the later ones have been decent.

My take is first: too little improvement too late. They lost the eyeballs.

Second: They ignored the pre STD lore. And are making stupid lore errors that disrupt suspension of disbelief.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@Devon_Eriksen_ It gets done when it gets done. If you lost friends because they couldn't understand that you and your family were in a fight for life then they weren't friends.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@BradRTorgersen I can imagine his detailer telling him "3 year accompanied tour on an orbital station, as chief engineer no less. Nobody shooting at you.

Even in the 24th century, detailers lie.

After that, a teaching gig at the Academy.

[rcartwright @rcartwright]

@RobertPicardo I think that your comment has been adequately ratioed. It also demonstrates an unbecoming arrogance that you think the IP holder will continue to pay salaries for an unprofitable iteration of the franchise.
