Changes in language 😳[aul duffer here 😐] #BBC using "manikins" for #Mannequin as I was brought up with, seems a step too far to #RayBradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" tale of stepping on a butterfly in a safari in the past dumbing down the world & its use of language.

#TheButterflyEffect #Extrapolation- in #ASoundofThunder [2005] tels of the timewave alterations to reality that were a consequence of #Raybradbury's #shortstory while it is not #PainfulToWatch, the critics were not amused #BeattheClock

#RayBradbury's #ShortStory #ASoundofThunder shows just how far ahead of the curve he was. the #Audiobook short story that inspired the #ChaosTheory term #TheButerflyEffect. The #2005Film drawn from Bradbury's tale will be improved upon next attepmpt #BonusFeature

#ROTD #AudiobookRV #PennBadgley, pleasant-voiced & convincing, is an outstanding narrator. He can offer a warm observation one minute & turn into a cold commentator the next, skillfully making #RayBradbury's message accessible. #EarphonesAward @simonaudio.bsky.social bit.ly/4evGnLd

👉 🎵 "I'm the man who stepped off the path" 🎵

One of my Favorite Duran Duran tracks, which was inspired by #raybradbury's 1952 short story of the same name. The story is basically a warning of the domino effect and the perils of time-travel.

Recently finished reading the wonderful tome. 100 (not all!) of #RayBradbury’s short stories, published between 1947 and 2001. What a joy! From small-town America to Mars, from re-imagined literary heroes to banshees in rural Ireland. Imagination, compassion, the funnies. Human nature warts and all.

In honor of the first day of #October, a #reading from #RayBradbury’s introduction to #OctoberCountry, his #gothic short story collection. It is one of my favorite passages in all all of #literature. #fall #autumn #spookyseason

An orphan finds an unexpected new family and home in #StevenBanbury’s forthcoming dark fantasy, THE PUMPKIN PRINCESS AND THE FOREVER NIGHT. Perfect for fans of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS & #RayBradbury’s The Family stories. #NetGalley #littlebrown consideringstories.wordpress.com/2024/08/27/p...
