The actual self quote is so much worse than the headline
“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”
He probably won’t be tweeting it again because when asked to recreate this tweet they moved the mirror and he kissed a bug.
Pronounced Doo-kane if you’re from the area.
His excuse in interview is that he recycles certain tweets after follower milestones. He’s popular enough that there’s thousands of new followers who won’t have seen his tweets from years ago.
HBO has the episode Bourdain visited Iran. Worth a watch, especially in comparison to a lot of the other middle east locations he visited.
What is the capital of Assyria?
Much more bleak. Erikson has more in the way of heroics in the face of the bleak. Bakker you get more of human flaws ushering in doom. It has a similar sense of scale, the world building is top notch. But the passage of time and intelligence are much less forgiving in Bakker’s world.
I’ve done numerous rereads of Malazan, none for Bakker. Though it’s just as deserving, if not more so. It’s just… a lot less uplifting.

It hangs with the best in terms of humor, tragedy, epic scope, and heroism. It does not hold your hand, in fact it will delight in letting your hand go while leading you through a dark room.

It is hardcore hopecore, it champions the little guy, empathy, and the bright mind over the slow. Main series is finished, 10 giant books. Also a bunch of others outside that series by both creators.
Be patient with it, some payoffs take a while. Read Gardens of the Moon and then Deadhouse Gates to see if it’s clicking. It isn’t for all.
Funny, just tabbed away from the game to this post.
Just like he did with the Taliban. Invited them to Camp David and handed them the keys to power.
Pakistan : I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
Some males don’t even do the leg lift and still just squat.
Got my attention on this matter
Groundhog Day is probably the most benign form of time travel to get stuck in, though. So many others the thread of reality starts to fray.
I’d take Groundhog Day over a Donnie Darko or Primer situation any day of the week.
Paul is that you?
Send Ringo my love
For sure. There’s a fountain now and under the arches it’s designer stores, but the bones are the same.
Sure sounds like someone who is making plans to stay in office past this term.
Hegseth said that they wouldn’t stand for this and that the Trump regime were looking for their own candidate to execute first.
