I despise the creeping NFLization of soccer: * eliminating ref judgement * effing VAR, effing ball sensors, effing magic offside detectors * hand ball when they didn't handle the ball * millimeter precision of offside calls * endless subs * overly complicated rules * "quarters" I don't care who you have lined up to perform, the half-time show has no place in a WC Final and I hate it already #WorldCup *Old woman shakes fist at cloud*

It&#39;s almost as if we have learned precisely nothing from the decades of literature and research on specification languages. Nah, I kid. It is that exactly.

#ScribesAndMakers March 20. Self-promotion day! The Belle Epoch trilogy is done (#3 is available for pre-sale, out next month, #1 is being serialized at http://mathling.com/books/index.html) Art! AIs! Space ships! Alien artifacts! A melange of somewhat messed up characters. It&#39;s a ride. Check it out: https://books2read.com/ap/xqYAAW/Mary-Holstege #scifi #SpaceOpera
