I'm noodling over the final "git commit murder" book, and there's a tidbit that keeps whispering to me but I will absolutely not use.
In book 1 there's a tertiary character that's a blatant self-insert. He's setting, nothing more.
For book 3, part of me wants to have that character return and immediately get killed. We go on to solve the other twisty murders but that guy's murder? It remains unsolved. Nobody remarks on it again. He's dead, and that's fine with everyone.
Funny to me? Yes. Leaves the reader hanging? Also yes. Too meta, won't do it. (Mind you, Midsomer Murders does this crap all the time.)
There! I've spoiled it! Maybe this will expunge the idea?

They put so much love into the sets and props, they forgot to hire scriptwriters. That's why I preferred Trek, even though it felt much less real.

Cashel is getting old, and needs a bit of Happy Rat to ease his morning aches.
Of course he doesn't want to leave the hammock while he's achy, so I need to hold the spoon up for him. #petRats #rats
Cute pet rat stretching out of his hammock to lick a spoon of ice cream laced with ratty ibuprofen

@nprofile…wuv3 nice!

The stupid auction supporting Minneapolis against ICE and/or Kansas trans folks is up to €175!

"You’d expect that digital storage technologies like SSD and NVMe would have learned from past mistakes and chosen to be honest about the block sizes used internally, but vendors freely admit that they won’t tell you what’s actually going on inside the device and you should just trust the values they report because the truth would only make you sob." #openzfsmastery
