I THINK I know where this chunk of Triptych by Karin Slaughter is going with this seeming huge detour from the main storyline.
Hoping I’m wrong, because if I’m right, it’s way not my thing.

@noonan Fair enough. It’s no light touch, remember. Plenty of graphic depictions of murder scenes and sexual attacks.

The remaining crew of Firefly pull of a job scoring them a fortune, and all go their separate ways. Long-married Mal and Inara spend their days travelling on the ship to find the planets with the best sunsets.

Still weird to me when I zoom into a GPS map to make out street and business names better that everything scales up except the text.

And the colour scheme?
Orange business names on beige building shapes?
Contrast works, people!

Made it a bit over a week cutting way down on caffeine until getting this cold and needing caffeine just to stay awake and mobile at work.

I totally get that online services need to sell ads and subscriptions to make money. No problem with that business model.

But on the flipside, it’s particularly irritating when the ads are by the same service you’re currently using, entirely to disrupt your experience, doing a song and dance about how, ‘Hey, if you want to avoid ads for ourself like this, just subscribe!’

@reay you know what would be a great alternative? Giving you the same deal that the advertisers get.

It costs the advertiser one tenth of a cent to show you the ad. I'd be happy to send the website up to triple that for the service.

Unfortunately they offer subscriptions at 1000x the rate they get for your eyeballs.

The internet is broken, and ad supported websites broke it.

Never not funny to see a guy who’s clearly of the opinion he’s VERY cool walking — nay, strutting — as he passes by.

Tossing this out again in case it just got buried amid your timeline: I’m considering jumping to another instance.

Is there any way to take follows and posts (and general history) with me? Or is it basically starting from scratch?

@reay
FYI. The archive is the Mastodon backup mechanism. You should do this weekly or at least monthly. Since you're the first I know who's migrating, why not report how it goes so other people may be reassured (or horrified)?

Thanks for the feedback!

Preeeeetty sure it was a peregrine I saw buzzing around and riling nesting birds. Small raptor, mostly white with a bit of brown on the underside. Came within 20 feet overhead. Gorgeous.

So tired I just had to answer a crossword question about the name of a Jetsons character by singing the theme song in my head.

And how’s your day going?

Damn you, Toronto Raptors, for having me need to be more verbose when typing in search criteria for literal birds of prey in Toronto.

The problem with breaks you get during your workday is that they don’t last the whole day and then you get to go home.

Huh.

I PROBABLY don’t need dog poop bags in my jacket pockets at my job as guest info and traffic control for shuttle buses, yet here we are.

I’m reading Triptych, the first Will Trent book, by Karin Slaughter.

Very well written to start, but a quarter or so of the way in she starts veering into what I THINK I see setting up a twist. If I’m right, it’s a hell of a swing but needlessly lengthy.
So I’m probably wrong.
Either way, curious to see if/how she pulls it off.
