It's all so f***ing exhausting.
From the state of the nation, and world, right down to co-workers walking out on a busy Saturday under bogus pretenses, making me triple time it a second weekend night in a row, covering their absence and the stuff they never got done, while having a full house.

Assuming UAP's like the tictac are merely laser pointers and part of a big practical joke is an incredibly myopic outlook from a real thinker like @davidbrin.bsky.social
I'm no tinfoil hat, but by his own logic..."why bother" (with such a pricey practical joke)?
LOVING his novel EXISTENCE though!

HOLY SH*T! The first ep of ALIEN: EARTH kicked total ass! So far I am super impressed. Solid plot, the cast is great, the production values absolutely top notch, with some genuinely creepy moments. And if that wasn't enough, the song they chose for the closing credits had me punching the air!

Just watched the film adaption of Joe Hill's short story ABRAHAM'S BOYS. It goes absolutely nowhere the entire time, the performances suck, and...I like Hill's writing but is the original story as much of a fucking rip off of FRAILTY, as this movie?
Because...wow...yeah. Pretty shameless.

An oldie but a goodie. Anyone read this one? I love this book, and am surprised it was never turned into a film.
THE CITY, NOT LONG AFTER by Pat Murphy is a real gem.

As I finish up Peter Watts' brilliant BLINDSIGHT, I ordered up some new stuff for the next reading cycle. Thank you authors @buehlmeister.bsky.social @aptshadow.bsky.social and @zamakhtar.bsky.social for creating worlds for me to fall into, explore, enjoy...and terrified by!

UAP HOT TAKE: Are there biological pilots to them? Even as a boy (I am 58 now) I thought an earthbound, adjacent race, likely in the oceans, was more probable than star faring beings. Then, the more I read about these creatures, the more suspicious I became. LOL.
But...hmmmm.

This. Book. Is. Blowing. My. Mind. The hype and massive respect this one gets is so obviously deserved. The ideas regarding consciousness that author Peter Watts gets into are way way wayyyyy beyond the usual. This book is a TON of fun, but it's also making me...MORE. BLINDSIGHT is a masterpiece.

Finished this one up a couple days ago. Great dialog, no overwrought world building (thank doG!), masterful pacing, and characters I truly miss spending time with after closing the book. Joe Abercrombie is just so damned good. An event level author for me. BRING ON BOOK 2!

I am reading CENTRAL STATION by Lavie Tidhar atm. So far it's absolutely enthralling. It's my intro to his work, but 50 pages in I'm loving it so much I just put 4 of his books in my cart for Book Buying Day (aka payday, lol!). Seriously can't wait to delve into more of his work.

This was a decent time waster, chock full of alien bug-monster goodness. Simple. Short. Effective. I am kind of surprised it didn't get a limited theatrical.
A ★★★½ review of Distant (2024)
An entertaining two hander, about a couple of survivors stuck on a hostile panet after their mining ship crashes. Simple, short, with a lot of cool bug-monster action.

I wound up liking this one a LOT more than I thought I was going to.
Highly rec'd for those into UFO/UAP stuff. A fun microbudget indy from '77, that shows a ton of ingenuity and creativity.
