Getting a positive review is always a feather in my cap. When the review is from an author, the feather is a bit larger. Getting one from the Pulitzer Prize winner of THE SHIPPING NEWS is like getting the whole darn flock!! www.amazon.com/Elisabets-Wi...

I went and visited the kid in Ontario. Normal people don't get #ttrpg books as souvenirs. I'm not normal. One of the best #Traveller adventures ever. Shout out to the Duelling Grounds in #Peterborough.

I've been thinking that this might come to pass. That people would want to move towards #green #energy just because it makes sense. It looks like it might be a real thing! But I do agree with the author in hating the way it happened. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade. TT: birdkeeperkirsty_

Hey Kids, do you like the #solarpunk? Do you think about adding it to your #TTRPG #Traveller game? I have a little blog where I talk about this and I just added my third post. This time I'm talking about food and shipping. ruduswritings.blogspot.com/2026/04/sola...

My favorite #Minecraft players, #Hermitcraft, are doing a large charity event this weekend, in support of #gamersoutreach. I always enjoy these events, it is a bunch of artist/gamers having goofy fun! (For a good cause.) live.hermitcraft.com

A friend from the States asked if there was any sign of spring in Winnipeg. I would say yes...

Something that happens all the time in sci-fi, but apparently happened for the first time in real life yesterday. Ship-to-ship communication.

I wish science could explain what’s happening.

Feel free to hit me up for a hi res scan so you can print it off and use it yourself to start a game in your area!!!

I put a little update on my " #AI #LLM Aren't All they are Hyped to be" list. I think most of us know this, but #vibe #coding is not going to replace the software engineers. ruduswritings.blogspot.com/p/leducs-lit...

#Oil tankers take 50 days to travel from the Middle East, passed the Cape of Good Hope, to the US. Today is day 36 of the conflict. In two weeks, the last ship through the striates will arrive in Huston. We should prepare for real increases in prices and decrease in imported goods.

Just another day at the office.

I did it again... I have the second blog post on the #ttrpg #Traveller and #solarpunk. I'm trying to work through how the game can focus on a more realistic understanding of humans and technology while keeping its core esthetic. ruduswritings.blogspot.com/2026/03/sola...

Ringtale / Nova publishing's website is down, so I'll announce my sad news. Nova is out of business and will not be publishing my novel Enigma Scout. ScifIdea was also going to publish it, and they folded--so I'm thinking, if I self publish the work on Amazon, will they go out of business too? ;-)

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

If I get Canadian citizenship, I think I'd be 8th generation Canadian. Jean LeDuc was in New France by the 1640s. I can understand why people are looking at the route in. How Bill C-3 impacts proof of citizenship applications share.google/e9dBJIFLmuaI...

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now
