I think this might be a new variant.

Because @macosken told @spsheridan and me that it’s a Christmas movie.

If you've not read them, I highly recommend picking up this Murderbot Diaries book bundle from Humble Bundle. Great books, I just polished off the last one and still want more!

Back from the Deep

It took us 11 years and 3 co-hosts to sit through and review the entirety of Man from Atlantis.

While it wasn’t much fun watching the episodes, it was a hoot to review them, and, as promised, they’re back — digitally remastered and resurfaced for the world to hear.

You can catch them all right here, or at Apple Podcasts.

I'm redoing some of the show notes on older podcast episodes, and I have to admit, sometimes my old show notes were classics, like this one:

"The giant Earth ship Ark sniffs a farting comet's tail in an episode compared unfavorably to taking a dump after eating oat bran..."

Accurate, but perhaps not SEO-friendly.

It’s a #MetaStressCrisis.

I’m literally stressed out that I don’t feel stressed out enough and that I’m turning it inwards without realizing it and what might happen if I am.

Human brains can be dumb.

Archaeological excavation site of Roman-era shipwrecks found in ancient port of Neapolis, located beneath modern Piazza Municipio in Naples, Italy 🇮🇹

Three wooden ships were uncovered during the construction of an underground metro line. The ships were preserved in marine sand and silt below the water table, with one of the larger vessels measuring 13.5m long.

Archaeologists found ships with their entire cargo intact, offering insight into trade routes with the East.

I’m often genuinely amazed at how good iPhone cameras are. One can easily read the titles on most of these books.

Luckily, nothing too embarrassing on there.

Oh FFS, my #Waymo year in review?
