It blows my mind that he thinks he’s the sane one.

Technical question, did you stitch that together yourself or is there some way of grabbing a screenshot of that length (I apologize if this is an entire stupid question, I am guessing it’s a stitched together imagine but I am having a boomer moment)

(Also apropos of nothing, goddamn the motherfucking cancel scum who did away with his memorial award.)

Pat wants to be seen as a hard SF writer, despite the fact he's both culturally and scientifically illiterate and pretty goddamn dumb on top of that, and exposes his ignorance whenever he opines on any subject. Hard SF is absolutely the wrong place for him because he's a scientific moron.

Spoiler: Unrelated award show sperging

I am still very sad and disappointed that World Fantasy Awards removed the Lovecraft bust.

Most of the current year winners would not be fit to shine HPL’s shoes, let alone hold a candle to the impact his works have had.

It’s fine if you want to be an author that writes soft sci-fi, or middle ground stuff. Hell, even the greats would handwave some parts of the background tech. Fatrick would never do that, it would be ‘stooping’ in his eyes, despite the fact he is such a rube that he gets basic principles wrong and his understand of the background elements go as deep as a quick wiki read.

Tis but the undercarriage, child.

For a self-described "car guy" you think someone who lived somewhere with winters like Milwaukee (and the heavy road salting that entails) would know to have the undercarriage treated against it. I guess he doesn't consider his fagmobile worth it.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

As I said previously ITT, it was sent to me.

 

[N1bbaN3rd]

Because he’s illiterate and doesn’t understand it’s “toe the line.”

This one annoys me just as much as "reign in" as opposed to "rein in."

 

[AntiSchwuletteAktion]

Pat uses "eclectic" to refer to the ecliptic plane, which is very specifically the plane formed by Earth's orbit around the Sun (our sun).

Eclectic plane is hilarious, but in all seriousness he was probably confusing the ecliptic with the galactic plane. A coordinate system referenced against the galactic plane and galactic barycenter would be an actually useful one for interstellar travel.

If he could sell a few books he could buy a new hat.

For his hat.

or is there some way of grabbing a screenshot of that length

IDK about other browsers, but Firefox's in-built screenshot tool lets you scroll with mouse wheel while holding down left-click to draw a selection box, which lets you capture giant threads like that.

For a self-described "car guy" you think someone who lived somewhere with winters like Milwaukee (and the heavy road salting that entails) would know to have the undercarriage treated against it. I guess he doesn't consider his fagmobile worth it.

He wrote a blog post about winterizing your car back when he was still active as Porque Squealer: in it he admits to driving on all-seasons (because he’s too poor to afford two sets for the rustang), and he mentions having a roadside kit and maintaining half a tank of gas. Nothing about preventing rust.

Unless you’re stupid and bad with money (being fat is optional), you would probably store a commemorative car like a Bullitt in a garage to be driven in fair weather, rather than try and brave midwestern winters with it, even ones tempered by Lake Michigan. And even if you picked it up as a project car, especially if you tout yourself as a “car guy,” you’d have a garage in which to work on such a car.

You would have to be pretty stupid and pretty bad with money and pretty bad with money and pretty fat to do otherwise.

I’d bet good money Pat refers to the Bullitt as his “everyday drive” when chatting up strangers in bars. He is very impressed by his pathetic life.

His daily driver is a Glock 23. He is a sheepdog and you are a dead wolf who's pelt decorates his wall. Enjoy tanning solution, omega child.

Be careful, Patty may have an FRT in his 23 and we wouldn't want the Prince of Pedo Print to have to explain mag dumping on the shadow stalkers after dark.

 

[Second Missing Primarch]

One of the notable things among the Golden Age authors, Campbell among them, was that they generally had actual competence at the science end of things, at least among the "hard" SF writers like Campbell (who had a degree in physics).

I was talking about a different guy, not John W., but yeah, fuck those people.

 

[OffTopic]

I don't have the patience to grab every instance of this over the past week, but for you baseball understanders, Rick is on a historic run of embarrassing tweets proving he knows nothing about the sport he claims to love.

In the past 48 hours, he has claimed:
- the Brewers have invented the concept of Small Ball in 2025
- Home runs are flawed compared to base hits
- Analytics haven't happened yet
- A team should at the same time build a small ball lineup while also trying to build a classic 90s/early-00s power lineup

Thread here.

I understand this is tedious for anyone who doesn't follow American sports, but there are 11-year-old Little Leaguers in braces who understand the sport better than he does.
It's a reminder that, for a guy who tried for three years to explain "herd immunity" to the world on Twitter, he understands nothing about anything.

This makes Pat the second gayest Baseball fan alive today. Second, of course, only to all other Baseball fans.

I only watch baseball enough to text my old man during games and even I know Fat is wrong. I don't think I've been to an MLB game in 30+ years. AA and AAA games are fun if you're in an area that supports the team and the crowd can bring the juice.

Bring your kids to a fun theme night and you'll have a great time. Our AA team regularly has pet night where a section of the stands is reserved for people who bring their dogs and the kids walk around petting dogs and eating junk food. They'll cheer and chant with the crowd even if they don't know what's going on. General admission is like $8 and kids are free. It's totally worth it.

Analytics haven't happened yet

Sometimes his idiocy makes my jaw actually drop. If I lived anywhere near Milwaukee I would be very concerned about this moron being allowed to drive. Not so concerned about the gun, because he's more likely to shoot himself than anyone else. And there's an awful lot of him to shoot, what with him being a fat faggot.

Wasn't there a Marky Mark (Brad Pitt I guess) film all about Baseball analytics?

 

[AnOminous]

It was sent to me along with this one:

I like the use of the much overlooked shmendrik, although I personally spell it schmendrick in honor of The Last Unicorn.

Yes. Moneyball starring Brad Pitt. I hate Michael Lewis with a rational passion.
