6!

First installment in my Perfectopia series is now up. #booksky #scifi

The latest in #cat beanie fashion.

Adobe Acrobat Reader sucks. I took a stab at finding an alternative.

You can feel the momentum building. You know it’s coming. You know it ain’t gonna be pretty when it bursts, but boy, this AI-crazed world needs a reality check. #AI

That moment when you realize tennis is over for the rest of the year. 😬

That's about 20km down the coast from the little town we're holed in in for the winter. And here I thought we got it pretty rough.

Sounds like a perfect reason for a rewatch.

Waking up in a stranger's apartment—not as fun as it may seem. My short "Where The F**k Am I?" is up on Substack (free). #fiction

Just posted a review of No Dogs in Philly by @andyfuturo.com. Spoiler: it's an excellent #Cyberpunk meshed with horror and noir themes. #books #booksky

Except for, you know, all the dead people...

So, like, I found some forgotten old stuff that vaguely resembles poetry. 🫣

Weird how this #writing thing works. Started fleshing out a hard cyberpunk short for entry into a contest that proceeded to bloat into at least a novella, so I pivoted and banged out a fundamentally different 3K-word story with hint of humor and a bit of a "A Canticle for Leibowitz" vibe. 🤓

Oh for fuck's sake 🙄 I mean, I get tired even watching all those endless tournaments, and I ***love*** tennis. I can only imagine how this absolutely mental schedule feels to the actual players.

Just posted a new short story Pouring Rain (free). It's a bit of a detour from my comfort zone of knowing the stuff I write about, but it was a fun experiment nevertheless. Would mean a world to me if you checked it out, commented, and shared if you like it. #books #scifi #booksky #scifibook 💙📚🪐

Just posted a review of Alien Clay by @aptshadow.bsky.social (Adrian Tchaikovsky). TL;DR - I loved it, and I also hated it at times, but mostly—surprisingly to myself—I was eager to get back in every time I had to put it down. #booksky

Ugh, is it just me or Amazon is down, taking half of the web (and even my fucking iRobot) with it.

I've never heard of "European look" before, but now I can't unsee it.

First overnight frost. #Lithuania

As cringy as it is, Six Kings Slam is a rare delight because the players seem to be less stressed out, almost relaxed, bringing out top quality tennis. And Jannik vs Carlito is always a pleasure to watch. So cute, these two ❤️🎾

A distilled write-up of my recent exciting swerve into something new. A two-minute free read on my Substack. Bonus: you'll learn what words are inscribed on the wall of the Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius 😉 #booksky

Just launched the Substack page for my "writer" persona. The first post is up, and I'll be posting more, including experimental writings (a short story coming up next week). Come check it out and subscribe—it's free! #writing

That exceedingly rare moment when ChatGPT reads the room correctly, and appropriately does not capitalize the name of a terrorist state.

What the actual... #books

Jannik is being true to his name. #cats #caturday #catsofbluesky #gingerbraincell

F I N A L L Y! Thanks @zed.dev

Finalmente hay algo de éxito en mi vida.

I love how mental in a fascinatingly good way the Japanese are.

My back hurts, I've torn hamstrings during tennis two weeks ago, maybe I'll get sitting tickets to a concert for a better view. The view:

Speaking of charming oldies #filmsky

The Al Pacino's classic "S1m0ne" would view in a totally different light now, wouldn't it?

Phew, what a weight of our shoulders. We can disarm now and go back to worrying about what kind of latte to buy this morning. 'Cuz we can totally trust every statement coming out of that swamp. Funny guys, these.

Accidentally stumbled upon Pantheon on @netflix.com, and it fucking blew my mind. What a fascinatingly gripping story, right from the beginning to the very end. One of those rare gems of a show where you actually feel depressed when you're through. #anime

I must be playing the wrong games.

Looking for a used spaceship in good condition. Anyone?

If there's one AI-based service I could get behind is the one that you can forward spammers to for further communication. "Why yes, mister, I would be delighted to discuss how we can enhance our website's SEO with you. Please provide a detailed plan. And I'm certainly going to have questions."

Me: Oooooh... Also me: Whoa, hold your horses, you're a 50+ year adult! Me again: But I really really really really wanna... [waving hands hysterically]

Third (and final; promise!) playthrough of @cyberpunk.net came out at well under 100h. Mainly due to skipped dialogs and dropped classic ending(s) in favor of one from Phantom Liberty. Male V this time cuz I wanted to romance Panam instead of Judy for a change.

Can we maybe do #USOpen in Canada next year?

I feel for the rest of the tour, poor fellas, but personally, I just can't get enough of these two 🤩 Can I teleport to Sunday? #USOpen

Frida at 6:00am. Plans for the day are being formulated. Bushes to be walked through. Neighborhood dogs to be taunted. Ticks to be collected. And most importantly, naps to be had under the house. #cats #catsofbluesky

Seems like it's been ages since there was something truly new from Trent that wasn't made for a movie. Missed that NIN energy.

The conference was a blast. The awards didn't hurt, either 😊🏆

🐈 The newest member of our household—a ginger rescue who goes by Jannik (yes, I watch too much tennis). #cats #catsofbluesky

We're AP-worthy. #Lithuania

And... done! Congrats to @marcelionis.com #KillerNashville

Fingers crossed for @marcelionis.com Master Version 1.1 which is up for an award at Killer Nashville in Sci-fi/Fantasy category. Well deserved. #booksky #books #killernashville

✅ 1/2

Catching up on Iga 🇵🇱 action between the flights in Chicago. First set done. 🤞 for Jasmine 🇮🇹 vs Iga 🇵🇱 finals to tomorrow. #CincyTennis

Sold.
