Not that I won't still post about science. I'm just going to keep it aimed at general audiences.

*pouts* I only know one person as into Tolkien as I am, and they refuse to watch #RingsOfPower so I have no one to nerd out wiiiith. I want to gush about the good (Celebrimbor 😭) and whinge about the bad ("Grand-elf" my ass). I just want a nice community of Tolkien fans who can talk ROP respectfully

It reminds me a lot of Star Trek #StrangeNewWorlds, where some episodes are wonderful, and some episodes are plagued by prequel-itis, where the writers, knowing that a character will do a thing in the future, become incapable of writing that as a natural development instead of inevitable destiny.

Honestly not super satisfied with the structure. But if you're thinking "how the heck do I talk about scenarios and IAMs after evaluation and MIPs?" Well, I do talk about those earlier, when discussing how models are made and run, but come back to them in the final section that's more on policy

I have been very lucky to just happen to be in London during a window where a number of them were performing in various plays. If you're able to get to London in the next few months, Whittaker is in The Duchess of Malfi and Gatwa's in The Importance of Being Earnest.

I'm sure I will! So far I'm finding your book very helpful in thinking about the language I use across the board, and how I'll answer questions on policy.

Ag, I shouldn't have said "most US reporters", but soooo many of the White House reporters in national media, the ones who care so much about access to the most powerful politicians and put everything else second to that access.

And it arguably didn't work, since his victory was in part with the help of Ross Perot siphoning votes away from Republicans.

One day, I swear, I'm going to finish this short story collection and it's going to be titled "You Can't Be Happy in Space"
