Reviewing five chapters of #af3e page proofs. I've seen this text so often that it's now physically painful to view, let alone read. 
Nerd and online communities are a ripe harvesting ground for neo-Nazism. Preventing society and subcultures from going gangrene is about knowing the warning signs, identifying it early, and preventing the spread. https://medium.com/@DeoTasDevil/how-white-nationalism-courts-internet-nerd-culture-b4ebad07863d
I could totally do this.
It would be evil, but I could.
And amusing, yes. But evil.
Evil... amusing... evil... amusing... #thestruggleisreal

“Based on your buying history, here are more of the thing”
But I already have the thing
“Other people recommend these same things”
But I have the thing
“And different colors of the thing”

Getting the Patreon video had a cost. I had to do an interview.
Father-in-law update: he's conscious and expected to make a 90% recovery. He's assaulting rehab with the intensity of an old guy who fully intends to go home and get back on the roof at the earliest opportunity.

Oh, and a new video! Have I mentioned the video? I've finally done a video!
Been #writing #gitsyncmurder for a year now. What was 1000 words per hour fell to 500 wph, then 250. Did 100 wph last attempt.
My subconscious is saying "No. I'm not doing this. F you."
Today, writing a short story to convince myself that I *can* still write.
Pretty sure landscapers will be the death of us all.
It's an air quality alert day, which means:
"People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which lead to
ozone formation. These activities include...refueling vehicles or
topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment
and using charcoal lighter fluid."
And yet I hear the dulcet tones of a riding lawn mower (The upright version) zipping away on our neighbors lawn.
I blame our eventual demise on you, dear neighbor.
I posted this last night, but a) here's the official blog post, and b) I'm terribly proud of MY VERY FIRST VIDEO. https://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/3211
I might even make another video some year.
Just finished re-reading Benedict Jacka's "Alex Verus" series in preparation for the new book in July.
Urban fantasy with a hero who has magic, but that magic can't affect the physical world. Lovely moral dilemmas. Recommended. #sffbookclub
Ed Mastery
@mwlucas took what could be a rather silly joke book and created a masterful book on something that normally would be lost to the ages.
Michael writes tech books the way they used to be written; full of opinions, humor, and a-ha moments that too often get overlooked in some modern books.

(If only he made a book for the C programming language. 😁 )
My Mastopeeps will be the first to learn that I have a Patreon video.
I'm told it doesn't suck.

@starbreaker @mwlucas Or you can do it like this:
I've been reading #EdMastery and decided to spring for the paperback so I can refer to it while writing.
