With Bases introduced to Obsidian.md I'm steadily but surely cataloguing my library and maybe other collections later. Goodbye proprietary apps and websites! Sync lets me check my collection on the fly and it is pretty awesome and so far with no issues at all.

Who are your go-to authors for modern Science Fantasy?

A very good documentary, heavily based on the book The KLF: Chaos, magic and the band who burned a million pounds by John Higgs. The book provides a personal commentary that the film, although quiet comprehensive, never manages to provide. #klf #filmsky

Just finished this unauthorised music biography, and it's the best thing I've read in a very long time. The story of The KLF via Carl Jung, Alan Moore, quantum physics, Dada, magic, chaos, Discordianism, punk, rave, Doctor Who, the number 23 and the godess/dwarf planet Eris. Wild and excellent book.

New mysteries. New day. Fresh doughnuts.

YouTube is great for when you want to watch an hour long video that could easily be an article you could read in less than five minutes.

The Substance is not subtle but it is substantial and surely subversionary and sublime. A definitive subjective success. Loved it! My ★★★★½ review of The Substance on Letterboxd boxd.it/8eP7tr

Coolest thing I did today 😎

Anderson is saved by Dahl's dry writing and excellent cast. It is somewhat fascinating, but I'm not convinced it needs to be filmed. My ★★★½ review of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Three More on Letterboxd boxd.it/8dQcRV

A modern soft horror classic. Excellent! Late Night with the Devil on Letterboxd boxd.it/zo6G

Net Dungeon. Oil over board. 30 cm x 52 cm $1200 USD + shipping.

Documentary about extreme reality tv, before reality tv was even a real thing. Plus, a producer straight out of hell. Somehow, the end ties things together, but it still feels wrong and misguided, albeit interesting. My ★★★½ review of The Contestant on Letterboxd boxd.it/8cPwhx

What's my science fictional aesthetic? Surrealism, pop art, post-modernism... Like these gorgeous German covers! L, Karl Stephan, 1968 ed. of Alan E. Nourse's The Universe Between (1965; R, Atelier Heinrichs & Bachmann, 1971 ed. of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah (1969) #scifi #sciencefiction #books

Just finished John Crowley's debut, The Deep. It was a little hard to get into, and the character names made things confusing, but it also made me realise how much formulaic sf/f I've been reading lately. Great book!

I actually really like Joker: Folie à Deux. I see negative reviews, and personally, I can't stand musicals, but it it is so baffling to me that the guy behind the Hangover movies gets the randomness and the gritty of the Joker. It is good film-making, and because it is, you are allowed to hate it.

Wanted. Said I’d help. An optimistic book, science-y or sci-fi related, no illness, no death or dying. Any suggestions?

GREAT book haul today! Went to my favourite second hand book store today and scored these books for between $3 and $4. All of these are in very good to fine condition and online they would get a pretty price. I want to read them all. #booksky #sciencefiction #bookhaul

Probably the best line in a review I've ever heard, except "This should probably be reviewed by the police.", is "It will take your head off, in a good way." youtu.be/FYeZhnmJVnE?...

The ideal X-Men.

This is our fifth map in the Autumn Lands series. This focuses in on the head of the valley between the mountain ranges in the other maps of the region, with a tall cliff-face with dramatic waterfalls separating it from the lower area. dysonlogos.blog/2024/12/13/t...

Wow! Pablo Delcan's cover design for Absolution makes the NYT's list of the best of the year! My contribution: suggesting the morphed swamp sunflowers for contrast.

A little preview of what I'm cooking right now

Interesting list. I'm on a new wave sf wave at the moment, and it's a weird trip. www.hilobrow.com/new-wave-sci...

Childish, maybe, but it is after all Friday, and I laughed.

Today, on my commute, I had my phone in my right hand and a paper cup of coffee in my left. Placed the cup tight between my thighs when I suddenly felt a powerful sneeze approaching. Hot tip: don't do that.

And this too! Great stuff!

"All science fiction is philosophy!" I love these kinds of videos. Show me a bunch of books I can never afford or even read, and I'm sold.

Here is a thread on some general tips for novice miniature painters to get their gaming figures looking boss. This is not for high end commercial painting or award level stuff, just for smoothing out your early mistakes for a good consistent result...

Highly recommended. I own the first edition, ie. not the expanded edition, and it is very well made and edited.

I am looking to increase my speculative fiction collection and found this impressive analysis of winners of science fiction and fantasy awards. Of course, it was written during the pandemic, and I find I miss the deep diving people did then.

I can't recommend this website enough if you are into speculative fiction from WWII to the mid-80s. Personal, insightful, and well-written reviews. sciencefictionruminations.com
