SF fan, co-chair of Unconfined - the 2027 Eastercon to be held in Glasgow (https://easterconglasgow.org). Also on Mastodon: https://mastodon.me.uk/@alanfleming (SFF here tech there) Bit grumpy about Bluesky but it's where SFF's at 🤷🏻♂️
Ron Cobb, near-forgotten genius political cartoonist.
He also did visual design of technology for the first Alien film and countless other scifi movies in the 70s/80s. Including the Weyland-Yutani Semiotic Standard - a visual language used for Nostromo signage.
Er, Lotus Improv? Whole new paradigm that I really liked.
Maybe not but you'd get through audiobooks like there was no tomorrow!
@RonsCompVids@bitbang.social Thanks for the print the other day!
We’d love you to come to our convention and not worry about childcare. Letting us know in advance you *might* be coming helps us a lot with planning.
The trouble with quadrologies being the new trilogies, is that there’s an entire book in the middle where all that’s happening is a lot of pieces being shuffled about the board, that I’ve paid for and wasted time upon.
Pho better, rather than pho worse?

Hello hello, I'm not quite back on socials yet, but I'd be remiss not to mention the @barnesandnoble pre-order sale. Masquerade, the third book in the Micah Grey trilogy, is eligible, and I believe Emberclaw's paperback, the sequel to Dragonfall, also applies.
It’s “Every Day” not Everyday.
Unless it’s Everyday.
still at it
Merry Xmas. Hope you all have as restful end of the year as you can.
A lovely cat staring whistfully into space. The cat is thinking about how it's a great idea to get an Eatercon membership today. Probably. Maybe they're thinking about food.

SHADOWPLAY, the sequel to the award-winning PANTOMIME, is out now. I had a friend go in and send me some nice things people are saying about it.
The Micah Grey trilogy is a whimsical gaslamp queer fantasy with found family. Escape into the circus or step onto the magician's stage.🎪 🔮 🪄 🎩 ✨

Isn’t the time taken by doing the resolve the first time it’s actually used rather than via this method to all intents and purposes indistinguishable, and certainly at human scale?

Same here. On a transatlantic flight I now get at least 30, 40 minutes.
A perfect time to get this book! P. Djéli Clark is one of our Guests of Honour at @eastercon2027.org in Glasgow.
LR Lam is one of our Guests of Honour at Unconfined - @eastercon2027.org - read all their work then come primed with thoughts and questions!
I loved that movie. I spent weeks afterwards building the Airfix kit of VINCENT.

Jim Caviezel
Met Vin Diesel
Going to the fair
Said Jim Caviezel
To Vin Diesel
“Ha! You’ve got no hair”
Quoth Vin: “Tis fair,”
My pate is bare,
But this is incidental;
For tonsure-free
I’d rather be
Than totally fucking mental”
Me too!
What have the Pet Shop Boys done to deserve that?
Thanks, I love it.
You’re *driving*? In SF??
