04/01/22 Snippet, THE THING IN THE AIRLOCK.
Back to this! Figured out how to make it work better, too.
Patreon!Tobias looked at the wreck of the impromptu morgue. Although it was more filth than wreckage: very little was actually broken. But the entire room was covered in a thin film of something disgusting enough to require skinsuits. And even then he was wondering if the stench was getting through the air filters.
“Anything missing besides the corpse?” he asked Ward.
“Just Oates’ personal effects,” the doctor replied. His hands writhed, like he subconsciously wanted to scrub them down again, and again. “Whoever did this popped off the storage door on their way out, and grabbed her stuff. Means less than you think, though.”
“Oh?”
“We don’t have much in there besides Oates’ effects.” The doctor’s voice went grim. “If it’s useful, somebody living needs it. If it’s not, we break it down for spare parts. The fabricators are always hungry.”
Tweet of the Day, Let’s Not Be Too Hasty Here, DC edition.
I know it’s April Fool’s Day – but I’m not saying no. To a TV show, at least. Or maybe even just a poster?

I don’t know why I think about things like mystical British throwing axes while I’m in the shower, but apparently I do. At this point I just roll with it, honestly.

TL9 Watch, Unfortunately: Snitchbots.
I bet it’d fly real nice, though.
I've already invented an appropriate game for dealing with it. It involves motorcycles and baseball bats.

And no, it would not last an hour in Philly.
Just watched Episode 1 of MOON KNIGHT.
…Yeah, Marvel’s MOON KNIGHT looks pretty messed up. I mean this in a complimentary way; it’s the kind of you-never-know-what-will-happen-next messed up that makes for engrossing television. Pure Hell on the hero, though.
Also: the show is mercifully avoiding trying to make us wonder whether this is all going on in the guy’s mind. I used to sleepwalk, myself. But in all the times I did, I never woke up in… ah, never mind. Spoilers.
The ‘sanderson’ has now been pegged at $41,750,000, or 1 $d$.
That’s the actual final total of Brandon Sanderson’s Kickstarter, rounded to the nearest $50,000. So it follows, then, that a microsanderson (m$d$) wouldbe worth $41.75*. This is a good number for measuring Kickstarters! For example, my recent Kickstarter clocks in at 62.01 m$d$, which is a reasonable number to work with.
Calibrate accordingly.

*It is reasonable, I suppose, to peg the m$d$ at $42. That would make my recent Kickstarter 62.64 m$d$, instead. I am amenable to either method.
The surprisingly interesting THE SEA BEAST Netflix trailer.
Okay, THE SEA BEAST scratches some itches.
In short: it has sea monsters, features ships with cannons, is located in a fantasy world, and is not immediately obviously being played for laughs. I’m curious to see what the full trailer will look like. I wouldn’t mind an animated monster-hunting movie at all, precocious kid or no.
