It took 4 days but I've dragged myself back to the book that im reading. Thats not because of the quality of the book, and now it's getting REALLY interesting. A mix of "power of stories", fated lovers, the need for immigrants vs disliking them, cultural identity and a romance to boot.

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

I wont lie, I burst out loud at tbe finish to this bout. Ura is just so watchable, and this has been an incredible basho in terms of being spectacular in victory and defeat.

The Unholy Neapolitan Ice Cream Dispenser was my favorite 90s All Japan Tag Team.

I just imagined The Mandalorian and Grado and it just made things worse

Ignoring multiple work/education sliding doors moments, it has to be watching WCW Worldwide on Channel 5. Watching Worldwide got me into wrestling. Which led to RoH. Which led to Orlando Mania 2008, making dozens of friends, becoming a confident traveller, getting paid to write AND podcasting.

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. 'Tis lovely Vladdy P,' I muttered, 'tapping at Ukrainian shores Which is historically his right as he carefully laid out before commencing his special operation and nothing more'

lmao what the FUCK incredible

I've started hearing rumours about a combined cut of Dune 1 + Dune 2, with lost of unseen footage, that's 9 hours long. The mythical Villeneuf cut.

I really got stuck in with reading this month. Six books in 12 days, most of which were great and some were fantastic.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett (honestly could have been 1 of a few Discworld novels) The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Caught myself reading a book for the sake of saying that I had read the book. Just to pad out how many books I've read. I wasnt engaging with it, just reading for the sake of reading. So I stopped as soon as I realised.

So I've decided to read nothing but physical books for the rest of the month. What should I read next from the "to read" pile?

This segment was already perfect but then I thought "Should it be set to Laura Palmer's theme?"

A great episode talking about a unique match with George's 2nd Three Body Problem reference in the run of this podcast.

So my week off has been a mix of chilling, reorganising almost every storage area in the house (garage, under stairs, kitchen cupboards), visiting a burial mound and reading. A lot of reading. I really needed that.

I think this maybe the most niché bit of trivia I’ve ever heard.

I decided to visit Waylabd's Smithy and, while the book only mentions Wayland briefly, it felt appropriate that I had a copy of @jamesbluecat.bsky.social 's Pagans with me.

Well just because my city and state are now ruled by saffron nazis doesn't mean I get to stop shilling my work. Still need income. Such is capitalism. Here is a book about my now nazified city, Calcutta, in the 90s/00s, imagined as a host for refugees from a distant reality. Places are memory.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Can't prove this but maybe the reason for Attenborough's longevity is that whenever Paddington arrives to shepherd his soul on, he fends him off with his powers of nature narration. "The perplexed ursine psychopomp withdraws, his hunt unsuccessful. Perhaps a 1970s bass player will make easier prey."

Just finished @aptshadow.bsky.social 's new book #ChildrenOfStrife. As a huge fan of the series, I spent the past couple weeks illustrating each part of the book! (19 total) An amazing adventure, I highly recommend! (See thread for each piece) #booksky #art #scifi

This is key to why most SFF readers start in childhood, and it can be a struggle to learn how to read SFF as an adult if you didn’t start teen you still knew how to read like a kid.

Well, I managed to beat the Heart boss on Slay the Spire on my 1st attempt. Pretty basic build focussed on Anger, rage + strength boosting but I'm very happy with that!

Monthly ebook releases on Amazon were basically flat before the release of ChatGPT and other LLMs. Now around 2/3 of all ebooks released on Amazon are fake.

I only met MOJ once in person, but podcasting with him was always a blast in that chaotic, what will he say next, way that I associate with him. Im sad that he's another person who I met through wrestling who left us too soon. RIP MOJ.

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates

I just compared the length of my reading list to the size of the AEW roster. Yes, my reading list is that bad. And yet I somehow read 2 "fantasy novel that reveals that its actually a sci fi novel" novels back to back.

Ive been reading Manga for probably 20 years at this point. Akane Banashi has probably the best visual storytelling that I have ever seen. The way that Takamasa Moue constantly uses new art styles or techniques to tell the story, show the level of imagination or the choices made is breathtaking.

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

Je'Von Evans' personality is so magnetic that he pulled Rusev towards him for that jumping cutter...

Gorgeous George, with Bob Hope as his valet, vs. Hollywood actor, Burt Lancaster. Silent footage from the St. John’s Hospital Guild circus benefit at the Pan-Pacific Grounds in Los Angeles. The show raised more than $175,000 for a new 100-bed hospital wing. September 4, 1948

Despite having to leave a little early due to car issues, I had a great time at my 1st Eastercon. I got to listen to some enlightening panels and interviews, including asking some questions. I had some brief but friendly chats and I also came away with lots of books & book recs.

Well, today will be a new experience: Im at Eastercon. First time attending a scifi/fantasy convention.

Dozens of family run companies that for generations provided TV shows with evil beards for their alt-universe episodes now ruined, forced to offload their stock in a fire sale to prospective Republican politicians

This month on Discworld Order, @sarahparkin1.bsky.social returns to discuss Carpe Jugulum. It's our longest episode as we chat about Granny Weatherwax, vampires, AND the Witches novels in general. 🍎 bit.ly/4v3Ssiu 🟢 bit.ly/4bXnG29 📦 bit.ly/3Of6Bc0

So its probably a sign of me being a really lazy singleton, but I've already read 500 pages this weekend and theres a chance that I could finish reading a 670 page novel in 2 days.
