So this "medbed" conspiracy, the one Trump fell for. That didn't come from Star Trek, did it? 😂

Happy Monday all! Had my daughter into us last night, and it ended up with me bailing out to her room, so not the happiest camper today. Quiet evening ahead at least. Hope you all have a good one.

I tell people that the problem is not coming up with ideas, I think of a couple dozen of them a day. The real problem is knowing which of the damn things is any good for writing up. Most of them are junk. I have to let them roll around in my brain a while to find out which is which.

Bizarre as all this is, the weirdest thing is that he saw this fake video of him making this bonkers claim, and he clearly thought ‘Hey, I sound GREAT in this! Post it!’

When I overhear someone talking about one of my niche interests

‘Unremarkable savings – powered by AI.’ Not exactly the future we were promised by the guys receiving god-sized sums of money to deliver the solution to everything.

One of the first big full colour scenes I ever painted. #scifiart #alien #scifi #illustration

Me and my new follower.

On its birthday, share one image from your favorite TNG episode. I couldn't nail down a favourite, but this is definitely up there).

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a child. (I'm not sure this works for me because I was like 15 before I stepped inside a cinema.)

Let it burst!

God, this makes me furious! This is insulting to both performers and the audience. I’d say I have no words, but in fact I have 5011 words about how I feel about this linked below. Not to mention the 1343 words of the author spotlight that ran along with it. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/thro...

Putin just got backhanded by the Moldovan electorate.

Homeworld was one my first PC games and was definitely a challenge. I did love the story, and these interludes.

Connolly will be getting my vote, but I‘m still baffled by the attitude of some on the left towards the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It’s not warmongering to arm up when you’ve a lunatic tyrant invading your neighbours. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

I’ve posted this before, but maybe it’s time to post it again. Maybe you need to hear this. I’m living it. You can too. Give yourself grace. #Writing #SelfCare

Happy Sunday all! Slept in again and winding myself up to getting stuff done before the dreaded M day befalls us. The motivation is low today, but gonna make the most of it. Hope you all have a good one.

‘We offer our soldiers socialism to go abroad and defend capitalism, and I was too poor to say no.’ Great points, delivered in a blunt, articulate way.

Gotta get that ha ha laugh riot good times blood money, I guess. JFC.

Name a Book you never stop recommending.

Oh my god, I feel ancient! This was my childhood!

shout out to all the writers and artists who take forever to finish something. I get it, bro. I take a long time too. but your worth as a writer/artist isn't built upon production. so just keep striding it out. keep taking those steps. we each have our own race track. we'll get to the finish line

George Lucas, still on the right track, half a century ahead of his time.

38 years ago today: The Next Generation's first scene🖖 "Captain's log, Stardate 41153.7. Our destination is Planet Deneb IV, beyond which lies the great unexplored mass of the galaxy. My orders are to examine Farpoint, a starbase built there by the inhabitants of that world." TNG is 40 soon 🤯

Once every month or two I buy a book at random. The rules are, author I've never heard of, title I've never heard of, and I can't have seen any publicity about it. (This is how I discovered Zone One by Colson Whitehead)

Xenopraxis is a great continuation of @garygibsonsf.bsky.social's Echogenesis, and I absolutely devoured it. Just like the first book, it has plenty of action, peril, and lots more revealed about the colonisation mission, the indigenous Cents, and the planet itself. Highly recommend this series.

Lovely sunny day again after the rain last night, and I'm liking the autumn vibes in the park.

Asking anyone who's read The Notebook, did any of you get an almost empty, deflated feeling by the end of it, especially compared to watching the movie?

The Kindle edition of my latest work—RESONANCE—is now available for pre-order: a.co/d/5PZsbdj The ebook and the paperback will be released on October 13th. This is a very personal story—with fictionalized autobiographical vignettes woven throughout the greater narrative.

If you see this, quote skeet with a screenshot from a video game that released the year you were born

Happy Saturday all! Had my nephew's birthday party after a sleep-in, and now I'm already tapped out. Out for some air now, but I've completely fallen off the wagon with diet and exercise this week. Just gonna reset on Monday and wallow for the weekend. Hope you all have a good one.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without prep. 1. politics in countries other than my own 2. Speculative biology/evolution, history, technology (basically just speculate with me on my special interests) 3. Trek, Stargate

As predicted by #StarTrek… a black (hole?) star is what sent the Enterprise back in time in “Tomorrow is Yesterday.” #TOSSatNight

Nope. I'm going through the damn door.

Gawd am I gonna have to install all my EA games just so they don't get deleted in some bullshit move by this fucker 🤦

The energy I bring to Bluesky

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

Never mind democratizing creativity, I say we democratize cats’ sense of entitlement. We all deserve more naps and treats, and I want several billion in venture capital to enable me to achieve that.

I am in this post and I don't like it

A modern story about the very roots of Halloween; about the horror, the mythology, the spirituality, the archaeology of a legendary hill, and the harvest festival that lies between life and death. Order for Ireland: www.amazon.ie/First-Fire-H... For the US: www.amazon.com/First-Fire-H...

Very excited that I'll soon receive my author copies for THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL! Preorders mean everything, so please grab this sequel to my Nebula & BSFA finalist, THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN! Haven't started the series? Now's the chance! jendiagammon.com/the... #books

It is not lost on me that they make only vague noises about future possible versions that don't require you to be able bodied and with good eyesight.

What character permanently altered your brain chemistry?

When it comes to acting on the climate crisis, our government shows an extraordinary ability to miss the point on every major issue.

The media won't tell you about it, but there was a mass strike in Italy that has now forced its authoritarian government to start providing military protection for aid flotillas to Gaza. General strikes work. Fascists are not all powerful.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but you shouldn't be afraid to embrace your unique creative voice. Make the art only you can make. Let your imagination run wild. Shine like a star. The world needs your brilliance.
