Irish-Canadian Twitter exile finally moving to an alternative platform and starting again from scratch: sci-fi writing, fantasy, horror, books, science … cats. If you see this, let me know what you're reading.

Thinking about a career move into being a subject for medical trials. What could go wrong?

Glad BlueSky did this. When I saw Patton Oswalt saying Megyn Kelly should be fed into a woodchipper feet first for defending raping children based on what age she thinks is okay, I thought, "yes, comedian Patton Oswalt is going to, in real life, feed Megyn Kelly into a woodchipper feet first."
patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

My hiatus from working life allows me to avoid conversations like this.

You humans are doomed. Your planet will be okay—eventually—but you guys are fucked.
With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.

10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C

20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C

So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
World still on track for catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise, report finds
Fossil fuel emissions have hit a record high while many nations have done too little to avert deadly global heating

5:58 am and I guess I’m awake. Here’s a little demonstration of my own self awareness.

Still working through this slim volume (5 stories and an essay). I have to say, Amis is hitting me as a LOT of style over I'm-not-sure-how-much substance thus far. I'll plough on. Also, FYI, the stories are not "about" nuclear war, but it's a deep, running theme.

Laying into some short fiction next: Einstein’s Monsters by Martin Amis from 1987 (Penguin edition from 1988). The five stories here are all about nuclear war, a big deal at the time and maybe soon to be a big deal again.

A lot of modern Americans wouldn't get the point that Carroll O'Connor makes about Archie Bunker's bigotry here: youtu.be/5j4gjse35C8?...

I've gotten to the part in Stargate Atlantis where Miles O'Brien has a secret underground bunker full of nuclear weapons.

If you think it gets dark early now, know that there are 38 more days till the solstice, on all of which it will get dark earlier than it does today, then 38 MORE days following the solstice until we get to a day where it gets dark around the same time as today. That’s 76 darker days than today.

I’m awake, kinda. Sooshi’s already been out in the back yard. She kept getting excited, thinking the falling leaves were birds.

Watched this tonight: William Friedkin's Sorcerer from 1977 (with Roy Scheider, two years after Jaws and a year after Marathon Man). It wasn't a success at the time but has come to be recognized by some as a masterpiece. I thought it was great.
