A Modest Recommendation

Alistair Young

Mar 19, 2019

I’ve been enjoying reading this webcomic a whole lot recently:

Grrl Power is a comic about a crazy nerdette that becomes a superheroine. Humor, action, cheesecake, beefcake, ‘splosions, and maybe some drama. Possibly ninjas.

Unproblematic Armor

In today's recommendations, I should like to draw y'all's attention to The Problem with Sci-Fi Body Armor, over at A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry. Why? Well, apart from being interesting in its own right, it is one of the latest and best posts whose

Status of Tags/Fixes

Complete back through: November 2017 (This means we have passed the point at which Discourse comments were introduced. Progress can be expected to be slower from this point forward, since I need to copy the WordPress comments across.) (No longer updated.)

Spooooky

Okay, folks, we're doing this. At midnight tomorrow (that would be midnight following 29 October 2024, Central Daylight Time), we'll be cutting over to the new shiny Ghost-based site instead of this old, busted WordPress one. Not everything is finished, because some things are very hard
