RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116241545113213980 I'm talking about yet another #bladerunner!

RE: https://wandering.shop/@starsandsabers/116234081777195478 I backed this *immediately* -- I cannot wait! Oz stories!!! I'm told Adrian Tchaikovsky's story is absolutely bananas, and I must have it!

Nobody here even knows what a Varga plant is, let alone who Douglas Camfield is.

Back in my hometown for breakfast with the family for my Mom’s birthday. Sadly, the topic of missing Doctor Who episodes has not come up and I think the window to bring it up in casual conversation has closed.

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116230029549155847 I watched a GoT-world series -- and enjoyed it! #aknightofthe7kingdoms

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

LOL at this delightful description: "While on a retirement community field trip, a group of ageing ex-Hollywood stars encounter a baby KAIJU on the run from military agents." https://www.darkhorse.com/comics/3016-549/hidden-springs-1/

If "INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE meets THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS" sounds good to you, you really oughta check out TAKEOVER. Heck, even if it doesn't -- I'm not a fan of either of those things, but this looks awesome. And it's co-written by Brandon Easton (with one of the writers of DIE HARD) so I know […]

🎶 I went to school with 27 Jennifers🎵 #stuckinmyhead this morning

Hiccups can be fucking miserable It'd been years since I'd had them, and today, off and on all damn day

RE: https://labyrinth.social/@tom/116219014567765690 SO EXCITING!!! #doctorwho

While I'm flogging books, if you like horror that's "perfect for fans of S.A. Barnes and Event Horizon", check out the forthcoming CRAWLSPACE from Adam Christopher! https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250381286/crawlspace/

Flight attendants had to move my giant yoshi plush to an empty seat in the back because it was taking too much room in the ceiling compartment, look a what they did to him 😭😭

RE: https://wandering.shop/@HollyGoDarkly/116205538658627981 And this is why: she has a new Border Kingdom book out -- this time it's a retelling of Snow White & Rose Red. I'm 3/4 through it, and it's FAB. I strongly encourage all my fellow fairytale-retelling fans to jump right on this one! […]

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116207565120731829 I don't remember anything we did last time. This is gonna go great! #dnd 😆

Remember a while back when I told y'all you should read ROSES IN AMBER -- the excellent retelling of Beauty & The Beast by C.E. Murphy? Well if you haven't done that yet, now is a really good time to get on that... https://catiemurphy.com/book/roses-in-amber

Woke up with "Mexican Wine" by Fountains of Wayne #stuckinmyhead, and it took me 45 bleary minutes to remember the words to the first verse. Doesn't bode well for the rest of the day

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116189405473056253 I'm talking about a Blade Runner! Right now!

my new computer is so much faster at rendering video that I regularly get startled by the preview screen on the second monitor MOVING SO FAST

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116183551375668076 I am apparently reading William Gibson's books (for the first time) in order. Here in the year 2026. Wild stuff.

Breaking news: Max Headroom, one of the greatest TV shows ever made, is free on Tubi. I find the terrible Tubi ads really enhance the dystopia.

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@TPK/116166348145468689 This adventure is the best match of character backstory to plot hook I think I've ever had in all of TPK!

It's so hard, in this world of hustle culture, to listen to my body when it says to stop and rest But boy howdy does it make it easier having a partner whose response to "I'm gonna go lie down" is an enthusiastic and genuine "Good job!" 💖

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116150030731923135 I am talking about a book! Yes, again! Right now!

Mood for today...

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116143757977485026 I liked a book and talked about it on a podcast. As I do!

I don't watch all the superhero shows, but when I do, my favourite bonus is listening to @biff after each ep or 2. I've loved both #WonderMan and the Biff coverage as well.

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@dmoren/116137581467036265 This book is fun! It's fast-paced! It's exciting! You should totally pre-order if you like those things!

tomorrow, StandWithMinnesota.com will hit a million site visits and over 650,000 unique visitors. i made it 10 days ago with $600 from you guys for hosting and cloudflare. thank you. thank you.

"It is not a coincidence that Epstein was also interested in crypto, in AI, in right-wing populism, in trad Cath extremists, and anti-trans ideology, ... Epstein gravitated toward fields and figures that rank humans, explain away cruelty, or biologize inequality."

Hey #yeg, do NOT try to order #oodlenoodle delivery through their app. Our order went to the restaurant (w/the right address listed) but also to Door Dash to deliver it (w/the WRONG address). Then someone from Uber Eats showed up at the restaurant to pick up our food, but they wouldn't give it […]

Disney asked "Andor" creator Tony Gilroy not to use the word "fascism" when he was promoting its second season. Now, he's saying it — and talking about how the show's storylines connect to current U.S. politics. "So you get out your 'Fascism for Dummies' book for the 15 things you do, and we […]

We should pass a woman's Heartbeat law: if a woman has a heartbeat you can't tell her what to do with her goddamn body, ever.

Parents CAN buck medical advice and withhold lifesaving vaccines from their kids. But parents CANNOT heed the advice of doctors and ensure their children receive lifesaving gender-affirming care. Parental rights only exist when they are aligned to the MAGA platform. It’s the same for other […]

Just arrived. One of my favourite movies, and now a time capsule. Imagine a time when politicians were held to account for their actions, and a time when the Washington Post was a bastion of important and responsible journalism.

Reminder that many health effects of infections only emerge after long term cohort studies, which can take *years* to complete - in case anyone very confidently tells you COVID is no big deal

You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here? I bought the t-shirt. I get a lot of compliments on it. The only negative response was from a friend who works for McKinsey. She read out the “everyone hates it” and said, “do they really, though?” as we […]

The #hugoawards nominations opened today. For the third year in a row, I'm proud to be responsible for making the software that you'll use to nominate and vote, which is open source and free software. It is built on #python and #django. I don't take donations for my work, but the foundations […]

#bookreview time because I get lots of reading done when I'm sick! ADRIFT ON CURRENTS CLEAN AND CLEAR by Seanan McGuire -- As much as I love learning the stories of how the children visit their worlds, it's also kinda hard to read because I already know they're gonna end tragically, with the […]

Here is one of our veeeery infrequent reminders as to how we finance Wandering.Shop. You will find on our About page, under the 3rd heading, two links to a very rudimentary Stripe storefront. Rather than send you digging, here they are. Flexible one-time donation […]

RE: https://wandering.shop/@terrymatz/116049997186090658 Oh noes, it's The Rule, friends. Thank you and goodnight.

[COVID-19] Even though I conscientiously masked throughout #gally1 (including travel there and back), I've got COVID. If you were there, do test! Reminder (or notification if it's new info): if you're trying to determine if you do have COVID but don't have symptoms, an at-home test only has a […]

#bookreview PENRIC AND THE BANDIT by Lois McMaster Bujold -- As this series goes on, I'm more & more interested in the fates of the people around Pen & Des. The quiet in-the-background machinations of the White God really are delightful when viewed from the perspective of the end of the story […]

Little rest break from convention like to share a #bookreview! LOST IN THE MOMENT AND FOUND by Seanan McGuire -- I always enjoy this series, but I liked this one even more than the last few. I love the idea of a world/shop where lost things end up, and I really liked Antsy as a character. The […]

Thank you, @Legopolis, for asking Michael Troughton and Frazier Hines about "The Space Pirates" #gally1

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@incomparable/116013446264407157 I was on a podcast! Yes, yes, I know, but in this one, the topic was one of my own joys! (If you guessed I'd pick Trivial Pursuit, you're right!)

I’m so bothered by all of the people who are supposedly on the ‘good’ side who use these things against their political opponents: - making fun of people’s accents (make fuck, get green card is not funny even if you are mocking a horrible person) - making fun of people’s weight - making fun of […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gknauss/116010419697017510 See what I'm saying?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gknauss/116010416913874002 I love all my friends, but sometimes I love certain friends just a little extra 🤣
