I bought this as a gift for a British friend who lives here in Australia. I got a jolt of white hot nostalgia from this book, and I only lived in the UK for 2 years in the early '90s.

My phone used to happily dial people when I asked it to. Yesterday, old mate AI took over this functionality and we had a six minute conversation about how I was pronouncing my fiancé’s name and all the other Garys I might want to call instead.

My pick for 2025 best actor and supporting actor.

This was so much fun!

I just fangirled over Kate for most of this.

Christmas Elsbeth! With Andrew Rannells. Perfect Boxing Day breakfast.

Merry Christmas from Sydney where it a glorious 20 degrees, cockatoos are screeching and I have set a spatula on fire making salad.

Honestly, idiot interns would not be as quick as AI, but they would be cheaper, and about as accurate.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film… 25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE! Can’t wait for you to see it. So, so proud of our team. We’ve made something a bit special. ❤️

Such a loss. Amazing director. Brilliant creative force. Our industry is poorer now.

Night 5 of Chanukah but that Night 2 candle thinks it's Graham Crowden in "The Horns of Nimon".

SALE: a 2-for-1 eBook deal for my debut novel, 36 Streets, and novella, Ghost of the Neon God - between them winning 4 awards (Aurealis x2, Ditmar x2). My work, 'Gloriously upholds the cyberpunk legacy' according to Locus Mag. Link below.

Don't let people enjoy things. If someone enjoys something you don't, they're wrong. Also you're wrong for thinking they're wrong. Also the thing itself is wrong. Everyone go to jail

Really enjoying Heated Rivalries.

There is an official pronunciation guide at the ABC. I type 'ABC pronounce' into my browser and there it is. Yesterday, the browser told me how to pronounce the letters A, B and C. Enshittific-AI-tion.

It's so much fun being gay.

KAIJU XMAS!

This week, on a planet where evil carnivorous overlords oppress and prey on a helpless populace, we decide to watch and discuss State of Decay. #DoctorWho 500yeardiary.com/s3/e4/

Currently adoring @aptshadow.bsky.social @emmanewman.bsky.social Starship Alexandria podcast - you know I love a quick daily podcast (1250+ episodes of Theory Podcast to prove it!) and the Advent Calendar of Adrian & Emma talking about their favourite TV shows is a delight. pca.st/podcast/c653...

Now she's doing an impression of Kim Kardashian. To her face. Down to the shade of fake tan.

Omfg. Paulson yelling "it twirled up" from Postcards and rubbing one out to Jesus. This show is epic.

Dear visitors to Sydney. It does rain here. You will get wet. And on those days, you will enter a shop or get on a bus and get hypothermia from the airconditioning. Enjoy your stay!

Last night Gary had to explain to me that the literal translation in a menu of 'Saliva Chicken' was meant to be 'Mouth Watering Chicken' and I shouldn't freak out.

The Revenant. Not because it's bad, but I just don't want to go through that again.

Tonight! First edition of Short Story Club (book club for the time poor) reading @nghivo.bsky.social 'Stitched to Skin Like Family Is' in Chatswood. scribes.com.au/short-story-...

Good morning. Proud to announce I've awarded myself the Morning Cup of Coffee International Peace Prize for doing sweet FA (in truth, I've pissed a lot of people off). Congratulations to me!

Terrance's planned vampire story has been unexpectedly cancelled, and he has only a few weeks to come up with a replacement. Fortunately, he's brilliant. #DoctorWho #HorrorOfFangRock 500yeardiary.com/s3/e3

Oh no. There's a man at the coffee shop who doesn't understand the rules of where to order and where to wait. Chaos.

The book club for the time poor: short story club! I'm working with @chromepanda.bsky.social and Sydney Speculative Scribes to present a Short Story Club where you can read the whole thing on the bus on the way in. Come and talk spec fic glory with us. scribes.com.au/short-story-...

Just saw that Dispatches From Elsewhere is on Netflix. If you aren’t convinced to watch a show for the cast, which includes Sally Field, Richard E. Grant, Andre 3000, and the radiant Eve Lindley, then watch it for blissfully cathartic writing from Jason Segel.

Clickification. Turning news into content. What should be a warning is now something to make a couple of cents from.

I just read that they're putting AI in notepad. Why? It doesn't even do italics.

Have recently become obsessed with The Power Fantasy by @kierongillen.bsky.social & @casparw.bsky.social. It's the kind of terrifying shit I loved as a teenager. What if there were omega-level X-Men? World-ending existential dread on every page, and I love it.

I mean, how can you hate a show where Niecy Nash plays a character called Emerald Greene.

I feel like over a certain age the photos app memories feature should come with a trigger warning. So many people no longer with us, pets that are long gone, and my youth.

My microwave sings a little song when my Hot Pocket is done. Should it have the right to vote?
