Happy International Men's Day, men! Here's a poem I wrote for all of you:

I am man,
I have strong wrist,
Can open jam jar,
In single twist.

I avoided Rebel Moon because of the bad reviews, but decided to try the director's cut - all 6 hours and 17 minutes of it, across both films - and really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's epically ridiculous, but by the end I was sad that Snyder will likely never make the whole six-film saga. Anyone else?

Some people say they can't stand so-called "influencers." Personally, I love them. They sit on my shelf, well worn and always ready.

My sci-fi story "Mantaro" will be published in Fission #5 by @bsfa.bsky.social. It's a story about coca, corruption and a particularly lethal autonomous quadruped robot roaming the VRAEM in Peru -- the world's densest area of cocaine production. Cover art by Elena Berri.

Upstream Color is an amazing film. It's experimental, for sure, but compared to director Shane Carruth's debut movie Primer, it is positively accessible.

There's something hideously ironic about seeing Musk wearing a Foundation t-shirt. Asimov would have loathed the man.

The Peruvian hairless dog, also known as the viringo, was the inspiration for my extraterrestrial emperor in "The Alien in My Bathtub," published in Escape Pod. I've met a lot of these dogs during my 15 or so years in Peru. This one is my favorite. He's called Humpty.
