A sad day. Drew Struzan was the artistic background to my world when I was a kid. If the movie had a Drew Struzan poster, it was a movie to watch. Still is. #art #movies

After 3 movies and multiple redesigns, the 1982 Syd Mead TRON light cycle, with enclosed rider position…. Still the best. #SciFi #Movies #Art Now trying to think of a movie, where the redesign of vehicles or ships for the sequels ended up being better than the original… Nothing yet. Still nothing.

All these AI companies spending billions, and a 5 yo could have given a better answer. #AnotherTuringTestFail

Bit of a bad karma day today. Alienware laptop, just days out of warranty, corrupts the drive and fries the screen. I clearly must have crossed the streams last week. Karma balance now restored. Still, lesson learnt. Next laptop will be min spec enough, cheap and easily replaceable. #LessonsInKarma

I'm surprised the queue is so short. #booksky 🤓

TRON original is still the best? Yes/No

Gotta be said, #ILikeMileships

Asimov and Elson. What's not to like? #booksky #scifi

Current background for writing sessions. NIN setting the mood. #Writing #BookSky

"Sorry, I thought it was 'come to work in your pajamas' day."

So #Bluesky are showing their true colours? Turns out, rather than being a safer space in the social media realm, they're just the same... just newer and smaller. Shame. Let's hope they don't become as toxic as the others, otherwise I'll be ditching this platform too.

The next UK election is going to be interesting. About time we had more than a choice of two. #Politics

Battle Star Trek Wars Gate! Nice. #SciFi #Art Tsneo Sanda.

Brilliant books, with excellent 70s science fiction art by Foss, Elson and others. Classics. If you ever get a chance to flick through a copy… take your time and enjoy. #SciFi #Art #Books

I really enjoy playing #WorldOfWarships, so thought I'd try my hand at #WorldOfWarplanes. Got all excited, but... Crashes every time I press 'Battle'. Tried all the fixes, the only one that worked was the Uninstall button. Knock a few more bugs out of it #Wargaming.net, and maybe I'll try again.

Ha! Get outta the water kids! Man, the 70s was scary. 😂

Interesting and a good step - but as most e-readers are kindles these files would need to be compatible .... and they're not. Kobo is a much smaller part of the market.

Shields up, Captain?

Year Zero. When did your addiction to science fiction begin? #SciFi #Books #Movies

One day... one day. #Gibson #LesPaul

Turns out that #AlienEarth has been the best thing on TV/Streaming this year. #WendyRules

Books, e-books or audiobooks? Which do you prefer? Very interesting piece in the #NewScientist. Personally... You can't beat diving into the physical paper pages of a great book. But there's a time and place for all modes of media. The important thing to engage. www.newscientist.com/article/2497...

I've been looking forward to this #TronAres soundtrack... and #TrentReznor has not disappointed. #Brilliant Released on mini cassette? #WTF? I can understand people who want vinyl, or CD or streaming... but cassette? It's the worst media. Hissy and crackly... and always in need of a pencil.

Shame #Disney has become a bit of a poison pill. A new #StarWars movie? Does the Lucas Tax have the same effect as it used to in these times? www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Autumn unboxing video...#eppingforest

Excellent. Keep going… More good news please. #GoodNews

The first time I’ve every shouted at the TV to tell someone to ‘Fuck right off’, and its #BBC #Newsnight. No, Dave Rubin, whoever the hell you are, the answer to the UKs non-existent problem with freedom of speech is not to give the population open access to guns.

Where can I get a watch like that? #Transmute #GForce

I can see my house from here.

It’s all the fault of the science fiction writers. youtu.be/gKOzDU64iPA

Hmm, absolute zero today, look out for some strange physical phenomena, the heat death of the universe, oh and probably best wear a hat. Sunny though.

Interesting to note, that with the industry push on AI at the moment, the AI in my books is a failing technology until they introduce a human sentience to stabilise and ‘drive’ the machine. Seems that I have the first part right, I wonder how long before we get the second part? #BookSky #SciFi #AI

Couldn't have put it better myself.

"Nothing...makes sense." (fixed it)

🤣🤣🤣 Wah! How on earth are you meant to answer this question, Mr Duolingo AI? You do know both those words sound exactly the same?

They'll never sell any ice-cream travelling that speed! 😂

Still waiting for my flying car... Sometimes technology flies, sometimes it walks. But the fun stuff seems to crawl. #SciFi #Science

With the words 'War Crime' being mentioned on the news daily, what action is being taken by the #UnitedNations? And what is the point of an organisation hamstrung by vetoes that won't act at the most critical time? #NoToVetoes

I do like it when I miss the slow roll out of a show and wind up with an entire season to binge. This year it's Dare Devil Born Again. Great stuff from the off again-on again crime-fighter. #Marvel

Have governments thought this through? Of course not.

Beautiful... With birds. #FarneIslands #NationalTrust

"Isn’t that machine great? Some bastard stole it from the set. When it appears on the market, I’m going to go after them like a rat up a drainpipe." - Ridley Scott A Voight-Kampff machine is stolen from the movie set. How does that make you feel? #SciFi #Movies #Filmsky #BladeRunner

Been on vacation and missed all the latest Alien Earth, Star Trek and Dexter. Gotta lot of catching up to do. 🤓

So, stealing an author's work for AI isn't theft, but it is piracy. Illegal is as illegal does. #AI #Booksky Away's wondered how they scraped all our books in the first place... Jeff has the paywall pretty well bolted down at Amazon. www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Once again, if your business requires theft to operate, you don't have a business, you have a criminal enterprise.

Science! It's Alive!

Great movie, and wise words to live by. Don't let people push you around but... always be kind.

Wax on. Wax off.

Well, they say a picture paints a thousand words... #Art #BookSky

Yep, as I remember, she was pretty small. Or small and pretty. One of those.
