I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Good morning! Here is a meme (ganked from somewhere it was retooted on Mastodon, original source lost in the mists of time)

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and- "I wouldn't if i were you" The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby. He raised the sword again. "Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

When celebrating aniversaries related to fiction, we prefer dates that originate from fiction itself. In the case of Star Trek, that would be First Contact Day. But birthdays are birthdays, so happy #StarTrekDay everyone! Live long and prosper!

I'm scared I will draw the Wrath of the Fanboys, but... this week on my newsletter I wrote about why I think the "Golden Age of Science Fiction" writers have so little appeal to a huge swathe of today's SF/F writers & readers. undercover-in-the-apocalypse.ghost.io/this-is-why-...

Hey UK, my reality-bending mother-daughter-found-family-multiverse novel is on sale on Kobo. It's about being lost, trying to find the best version of you (literally), the mysteries of our parents, neuroparasites, murder and features two of my favourite characters I've ever written in Dom and Amber

Leamos!

Friends, for your Friday, here's a new image of planets being born.

Enjoy this stunning view of the Butterfly Nebula from Hubble. Look at the structure in the vast outflows, especially towards the centre! There, behind a dusty torus that we're looking at edge-on lies a super-hot white dwarf—the remnants of a once much-larger star.

One last thing. Coming around Makapuu we hit 40 min of perhaps the most challenging conditions I've ever paddled in. We came within 1 cm of flipping (ama up to 10 oclock) but we kept our heads, shifted our weight left, & kept paddling. Peeps: We are in dire times. Keep paddling. We will get there.

Someone's surely done a dark nordic amphibian fantasy RPG called Mörk Frög

Uranus has a new moon.

So this is what we watched yesterday : Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam Yes one of THOSE Turkish StarWars 😂 Emotions are mixed. Few are still laughing and counting all the references and borrowed sound and footage... Few are still crying. One said "I'd rather watch Holiday Special again!" 😄

Here's a brand new episode of Starship Alexandria in which @aptshadow.bsky.social and I talk about Ray Bradbury's short story collection The Golden Apples of the Sun. starshipalexandria.com/episode-5-th... It also features a lot of laughter and a section where I am a chaotic muppet.

High-altitude clouds on Neptune. Photographed by the Voyager 2 spacecraft on 25 August 1989.

Personally I hope we find out that what Gollum was doing while wandering about looking for the ring was either solving a series of cozy murders (Precious We Wrotes) or performing in an incompetent hobbit amateur dramatic troupe (The Ring that Goes Wrong)

Okay, deep breath. I need your help. My friend set this up for me because financial stress is making the whole cancer stress a lot worse. www.paypal.com/pools/c/9gAG... If, like me, you don't have money atm, if you have read and enjoyed any of my books, please can you tell people about them?

So, yesterday we were ready to chew bubble gum, and watch the movie... And we were all out of gum #ProgramSFere

Seems fair.

Global social media and porn websites are, more than likely, an arm of various spy operations. Wikipedia is a successful website run on (what should have been) universal first principles of commons licencing and self-government. The Online Safety Act is about control.
