Crush Depth is out today! It's a deep-sea technothriller - think The Hunt for Red October meets Jurassic Park. I've been working on it for a while and I'm incredibly proud of the result. Go check it out!

Of course it's Deloitte

🚨 NEW: Meet Ian Brinksman, 42, a Washington, DC-based government contractor arrested by the FBI today for allegedly leaking TOP SECRET national defense information to a romantic partner who published classified material on Substack.

His LinkedIn lists Deloitte, national security consulting, and a current reserve intelligence officer for the US Navy.

@PatrickKAbbott @rebeccag122 With "overhead" and "management costs"

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@WritingStickMan Loved that one on the left. The state in the front rotates up, right?

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@BookAnonJeff They pay very well but it's soul-sucking work.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@TGDDOT I'm not opposed to politics in my sci-fi. But Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9 just do it so much better and Star Wars for me is Sith vs Jedi and cool starfighter battles and Andor has neither...

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

I have TIE Fighter Legos at my desk at work and unintentionally ruined the new guy's day when he came up to me to talk Andor and I told him I didn't enjoy it and Kyle Katarn stole the Death Star plans anyway 🤣 I have a Wookiepedia Ph.D.

[τοῦτο βλέπω @toutovlepo]

We gotta figure out a way to signal whether people are Disney+ Star Wars fans or long-haul Wookieepedia PhD types bc this is the second time this week a coworker told me they were a Star Wars fan and then got all wide-eyed when I started talking about Master C’baoth ts

Even Tina thinks this is bad.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@CorkNuts1 Always have been!

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@GeoGDF01 There is nothing more satisfying than getting a tractor beam lock on a TIE Defender and throwing 4 advanced concussion missiles at it.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@MichaelFKane 😆 🤣 😂

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

Man I had forgotten about this. As a certified "blondes are my type guy" I can't hate games journalists enough.

[Ernst Haeckel Groyper🇪🇺 @HaeckelGroyper]

I love Femshep but she didn't even have a canonical appearance or bespoke face until ME3, this is utter nonsense. She was originally going to be blonde too, based on a poll BioWare held but games journos were angry about it so they made her a redhead instead.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@PatrickKAbbott Yeah something is deeply wrong with our elite colleges

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@CorkNuts1 We have the best alternate uniforms don't we folks

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@jsxtn83 The trailer wasn't bad but the list of story points looked awful, totally missing what made ME1/2 magical.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

I feel like there's a lot of tourists commenting on Mass Effect the last few days - I'm not one of them. Given what we know now I am incredibly glad ME4 got canceled. Maybe a better developer will pick it up in the future but nu-Bioware was going to drop the ball.

[Daily Roman Updates @UpdatingOnRome]

Interesting.

[Ryan M. Patrick @ryanpatrickauth]

@HuntClancy Tip of the iceberg tbh
