Tweet of the Day, I Followed Along edition.
Not sure why Tycho’s all het up about, here. I’ve heard far more obscure stuff, in my day. Sometimes even when sober.

Flogging Molly livestream, 03/17/21.
From Dublin, no less. Virtual tickets are current fifteen bucks, so get it now. The Flogging Molly concert starts at 3 PM Eastern time, 03/17/2021. It’s one of my favorite bands, so this should be cool.

Need to ramp up fully, but it’s coming along.
Patreon!Calm yourself, Cascadia Silversong. I do not intend for your minions to take and raze that insipid place. I merely wished to acquire certain items. And fear not: my having them will do you no harm. Quite the contrary.
“How nice of you to let us know that,” Silversong replied, with as much sarcasm as she thought she could get away with. “But even if we let you use our siblings without asking, I’m still not your minion. So in the future, you keep me in the loop with whatever you’re doing. I’m no mushroom: leaving me in the dark and feeding me bullshit won’t get you whatever it is you want. Not in the long run.”
That got a pause from Camio, and then a grudging Very well. The Portlanders possess a particular pair of knives; ones imbued with certain powers. It would be best if our foes no longer possessed them.
“Which is why you just sent somebody to up and steal it,” Silversong said, suppressing the urge to massage her forehead.
The DIFFERENT TROUBLE RPG Kickstarter.
DIFFERENT TROUBLE is a supplement to Greg Stolze’s TERMINATION SHOCK science fiction RPG: the Kickstarter’s half-over, half-funded. Check it out; the core game looks fun, although I haven’t played it yet. And, before anybody asks, it’s ethically sourced. Print on demand, so no worries about your gaming money going to fund cultural genocide and slave labor!

PS: I’d comment on that hair, except I’m fairly shaggy myself. Haircuts are a bit of an interesting proposition at the moment.
The “Take It To Eleven” WITHOUT REMORSE trailer.
If you click the link, you’ll see that they changed the plot. I think. There’s at least one scene in WITHOUT REMORSE the movie* that I absolutely don’t remember from the book and I don’t give a [expletive deleted]. Adherence to the book is a good thing, sure. So is getting the character right.
Look, worst-case scenario here? I’m just gonna pretend that Michael B. Jordan is playing a guy who happens to have the same name as one of the characters in a Tom Clancy novel. If I do that, everything’s fine.

*You’ll know it when you see it. Did John Clark do that in the book? I believe not. Would he have done it? Absolutely.

The ‘It Could Be Worse’ VOYAGERS trailer.
It says something about me that my reaction to the VOYAGERS trailer was Thank God. It’s not a remake of that time travel show. I mean: it looks really, really dumb, sure. But at least it isn’t a nostalgia-fueled remake.

Long day, catching up.

Attend me, Cascadia Silversong.
Silversong looked up, not bothering to stifle a groan; and, sure enough, there was the ‘demon’ again, parading around in yet another possessed songbird. This latest manifestation of Camio sounded slightly different, and not just because of the faint trickle of blood running down one leg. He was looking kind of… manic? It really was hard to tell.
“You’re in my office,” she pointed out. “So who’s attending who? And have you ever thought about picking animals that are maybe a little sturdier?”
No other creature in the forest sings as sweetly as these, Camio chirped. Their pain is a delicate harmony of pain and loss. Even now this one screams, inside its tiny head. Would you like to hear it?
“Not really,” she replied. “I’ve never been what you’d call musical. So, why are you attending me?”
You are insolent.
Silversong gave the ‘demon’ a faint smile. After a moment, the houseplant on the desk next to where Camio was perching caught on fire. The purple-green flames briefly illuminated her face as she said, “And your point is?”
