I can't judge this because I'm 100% going to be posting the same thing when this sociopath starts decomposing.

printing this out. Every conservative insists the only way to fix the birth rate is to make everybody's lives more repressed and regimented, and I want to shove this article in their faces every time the subject comes up forever.

I love Steve Carell and this is really funny. #Rooster www.justwatch.com/au/tv-show/u...

Terrific performance by the #Matildas against China ♥️

Bandaid/The Met is thecollab I never knew I needed untill now! 😀❤️

With all the enthusiasm around the Project Hail Mary release and the Firefly resuscitation, I'd just like to remind Hollywood that I have a ton of original high concept science fiction thrillers ready and raring to go...

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve.news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @charlienotold.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

Give kleptocracy a whirl instead, for a little break. It seems the two can not only coexist, but be symbiotic.

A beautiful callback in Azimuth #2000ad prog 2463, to Arthur Ranson's stunning artwork in the classic Judge Anderson story Satan from issue 3.07 of the Megazine.

I'm currently worldbuilding, so I'm consulting the master: Iain M Banks in his book The Culture: The Drawings. This page is amazing, noting that in worldbuilding, 'nothing is so obvious that you might not have to explain it to somebody sometime' but 1/2 #ScienceFiction

Colman Domingo wearing a silk suit on Hot Ones. Although silk is often used for cream dinner jackets, you rarely see it as a suit today. Silk suits, particularly in slubby Dupioni, were more popular in the 1920s and '60s. Makes for a very chic spring look (if you can find it).

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity

When you hear people ask (and you will hear people ask) if these machines are conscious, please try to remember: that the question is not if these machines are conscious, but why it is that we treat people we know are conscious like they are machines.

Writers for the win! Writing may date back 40,000 years, far earlier than previously thought.

Iran may have lost 4-0 to the #Matildas last night, but their second half goalie won a couple of Oscars 🤣

The Lanterns trailer introduces the True Detective-ing of the DC Universe...but is anyone truly as good as Matthew McConaughey chewing a southern accent?

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

Ten reasons you should read JITTERBUG by @garethlpowell.bsky.social, published by @titanbooks.bsky.social

White mycelial hair. Black pin mould eyes. You burst like a puffball when I touch you, fill the damp autumn air with spores. I inhale you. Become food. Nourish you as you slowly grow inside my lungs. #HorrorWritersChat

Huh. John Carpenter, naturally. 😁

If, like me, you find yourself in need of a handy tool to define artificial gravity for a range of variables, this is very helpful. #ScienceFiction www.artificial-gravity.com/sw/SpinCalc/

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills. The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Finally, the wait is over! Jitterbug hits bookstores today, published by @titanbooks.bsky.social

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war. Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war. The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

As I start into writing my sixth novel, I think the only rule for writing is: trust your instincts. If a chapter doesn't feel right, or you feel it needs more worldbuilding or a different character dynamic or something else, you're most likely right.

Donald Trump has launched more military attacks at more countries than any other president this century. An yet, the simple-minded fool is *obsessed* with getting a shiny Peace Prize.

"The evidence is that this is not a response to an imminent threat, which the word pre-emption implies. Instead, it is a war of choice." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Would appreciate it if the NEXT time China and Russia put their patsy in the WH, they choose one who isn’t going out of his way to get everyone on the planet killed.

This is the "again" of MAGA. The idea has always been to allow people to be toxic, sexist, racist, homophobic, stalker, rapist, and just plain disgusting. To favor people close to those in power. To kill accountability. It's not for nothing that they relentlessly attacked equity and inclusion.

Anthropic refuses to be misanthropic. "Without proper oversight, fully autonomous weapons cannot be relied upon to exercise the critical judgment that our highly trained, professional troops exhibit every day." www.bbc.com/news/article...
