  1. Frolicking through the Best Novella Hugo nominees—in Olivia Waite's "Murder by Memory," I find this:

    "Of course every human body was a horrifying collection of juices and tissues, acids and effluvia poured into a bag with a bunch of long rocks, a shambling accident of biology that made its own mysterious and often frustrating decisions without reference to the mind. They were disgusting miracles, every one.”

    Wow. Bravura writing… & bravura thinking.

  2. Pencil sketch of a blue city on a purple planet. This was drawn with coloured pencils on toned newsprint paper. A #fantasy or #scfi themed city of wonder.

    This was a drawing that sat unfinished for many months before I found it in a drawer and completed it. Still one of my faves.

    Thanks! This is so great — and well designed. I’ve always wanted to navigate #scfi themes and connections like this.

    The only downside — no #ForbiddenPlanet (social media + god like power)

  5. The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman was such a great series and if you rewatch the 6MDM it is a treasure trove of aviation. Shots of a B-1A, Edwards AFB, 3 bladed prop C-130's etc #bionic #6milliondollaman #avgeek #ScFi

  7. #WordWeavers August 13: "On a scale from 1 to 10, how safe is your world?"

    Arcaelit daily life is fantastically better than the best life that all the money and power of Earth could buy. And yet, it's the average for quintillions of TTMA signatories (the Arcaelits). Safety and comfort aren't Saki and Sinóle's conflict nor their virtues.

    A few thousand lightyears in any direction you'll encounter non-signatory worlds. Or, as the Arcaelits say, the Pre-Arcaelits. Mere knowledge of the Arcaelits' organizing force, TTMA, is known to cause spontaneous total revolution. Non-signatory worlds and worldlikes cower in silence as so-called rulers pretend to their subjects or cult members kept in ignorance.

    They say TTMA is material and immaterial, and lives as the will of pure information flow between the great Arcaelit masses. Where a few go, TTMA takes root: invisibly, impossibly, inevitably. Studying why invites it to take root in YOU.

  8. Blade Runner 2049 - (2017)

    It’s like stepping into this alternate dimension that feels as real as the world around you now.

    It plucks subtle notes about love, predjudice and purpose, while windmilling the stronger chords of humanity, greed and acceptance.

    The absolute best scifi-film ever made

  11. #TheExpanse is a good show I think.

    However, I don't feel it's particularly original. It feels like Babylon 5 and Star Trek - perhaps more B5.

    There are plenty of cliche pieces of dialogue, like a know what retort someone is going to make before they say it.

    And the themes are generally seen-it-before.

    It's nothing new. But I'm enjoying it so far.
