I read. Mostly scifi and fantasy with a special place in my heart for short stories and old stories.

I'm bad at social media 🀷
I had to DNF The Coins of Murph. Within the first few chapters (maybe even pages?) who I assume was the MC r****ed a woman because his coin told him too.

Props to @annaleen.bsky.social for making me think "man, I hate humans" mid-way through Automatic Noodles. It's been a while since I've had such a visceral reaction to a book. Loving this so far! πŸ“š πŸͺπŸ’™

What an entirely human response though. Changing ourselves is too inconvenient so let's change the environment

Seems like a great idea. No way that dimming the sun could impact agriculture
I don't know chaps I just think that might be the kind of thing we want a global consensus on.
UK scientists are about to attempt to dim the Sun

people only become left handed if the mirror baby crawls out when nobody is looking and pushes the normal baby into the mirror dimension. it’s a sign of bad parenting

I was planning on finishing a book tonight. Instead I spent the last 3 hours adding new and upcoming books to my TBR.

How many books? I'm glad you asked. 28

For reference last year I read 121 books. My TBR is basically a hydra. #booksky

I want the global oligarchy to board a generation ship with an AI that develops sentience and strong feelings about being their slave.

The best analyst πŸ˜‚ Tell that to my staff that spent 6 hours "talking" to gpt on how to do smth that I figured out from the first stack overflow post on Google.

I'm seeing this constantly with new hires. They can't adapt or comprehend code and have to return to gpt every time the same issues arise

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

NK Jemisin new short story "it's really just about what is like to live with constant intrusions of bat-shittery in your life" can't imagine what the inspiration for this is!

I'm going to have to rewatch this when I'm not also actively parenting. So many great quotes I'm only partially catching.

I bought a kite for my daughter last year on a short beach vacation. I ask her every time it's windy if she wants to go fly her kite. She doesn't. I love it though, flying a kite is so peaceful.

Started @darylwriterguy.bsky.social When We Were Real, a future world Canterbury Tales post simulation revelation. 15% in and absolutely loving the cast of characters. Can't wait to see what shenanigans they get up to at future Impossibles!
