    Eclipse 2024

    Best of luck to everyone chasing the solar eclipse tomorrow. I hope the weather behaves. If you are close to the line of totality, it is definitely worth making the effort to get there. I blogged about how awesome it was back in 2017 (see: Pre-Eclipse Post, Post-Eclipse

    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

Happy Tuesday!


I do love our Tuesday teas


I have some free time next Tuesday


Tomorrow is Tuesday, which is his tail-fluffing day


Now, I'll need you to make a dozen of each dress for me by next Tuesday


I was born on a Tuesday


And today is...

Equestria Girls films are not included in the above figures, but we could not forget...

It's Taco Tuesday!

And that's how Equestria was made.

No, I'd say that's when Equestria was made. Though the series premiered on a Saturday.

I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.

The first season:

Aired on Friday mornings, seems to me... :scootangel:

Did it? I joined the fandom in the summer of 2011; I wouldn't know.

Prodding my brain:

I'm coming up with 10:30 every Friday morning here on the West Coast. Which would've been 1:30 in the afternoon back East, a kind of an uncomfortable time for watching, it always seemed to me...

Tuesday Hoofday! :twilightsmile: Likely sounded better in my head.

3786361 I see what you did there, Mr Dent. Plus, bonus points for the Larry Niven reference in your user name. :pinkiehappy:

Very few people get that, and I mainly picked it because it fitted in so well, with existing name styles, family backgrounds etc, instead of something like PsstPok the Changling.

Hypothesis: Tuesday is the only day of the week that starts with a hard consonant sound, making it preferred for spoken dialogue.

Oh, thank goodness. I was afraid someone had counted.

The thing about Sonata Dusk, is that she is like a crocodile; deadly but stupid (in their original forms, the Sirens probably casually murdered and ate sapient beings). Sonata believes that it is TacoTuesday because she sees a sign advertising TacoTuesday. In the cafeteria, one sees no Tacos at all.

The other Sirens must be used to her stupidity because they neither correct her nor try to explain the cycle of week-days to Sonata Dusk. They must know that it is pointless to try.

That is how Athur Dent feels, but to me, it was Tuesday.
