There really is more and better #ScienceFiction being produced in the world than almost any other time in my wicked life. I may not love it all, but almost all of it is better than anything made in the "golden age" of science fiction. Better books. Better TV shows. Better movies.

A reverse outline is an excellent opportunity to write your synopsis.
Made for each other.
Please tell me it looks like Kurt Barlow from the 70's era movie of the week Salem's Lot!

That's a lot of great folks!
Today in #WritingSearchTerms : "How long do snorted drugs take to get into the brain?"
If we don’t get some rain here soon fall colors will muted. Who do I see about this?
lol. There are zero ways in which I feel younger than the guy in that picture.😃
Seems like yesterday.
I figure this is 1995? @summervillain.bsky.social and I were coworkers back then. Great cameo by Dave Sarley.

On Bluesky, the only way to increase engagement is to engage.
@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social this is how you cover neo-nazis and the far right. You do not indulge their 'legitimate concerns' that amount to 'get rid of brown people because they're brown'
Doubled for Boomers.

The AI is run in the brain cells of a single child.
Can’t tell if this is parody or nah.
Same. And Doug Jones's physical performances are always amazing.

I've always hated the term "homeland". It always felt like a little Nazi invasion into the American lexicon.
I think there's some justice in the fact that, of all of the cast of American Pie, the only two actors still working are Stifler's mom and Jim's Dad.

Ruin a movie by making it about Gary. Gary's Day Off.
Honor binds him.
Death should not be listed as a side effect of any legal drug.

Transitioning is full of so many messy moments but also some great ones. When you come across a kind and accepting person, it makes the harder moments just a bit easier. Read the full book here: a.co/aUJDqNO #transgenderbooks #transfiction #fiction #booksky

Life’s too short to watch movies starring The Rock.
Apollo 1
However we feel about MO's urgings to move more and eat more veggies (with perhaps too body-conscious messaging toward children), she was working off accepted medical science. We can criticize how medicine regards overweight, diet, exercise, etc But she wasn't making up quack grifter shit.
If RFK, Jr is what you get when you let a Kennedy age past his forties, well… it explains a LOT of the 1960s
Okay. I may be a little obsessed with Linda Cardellini's dimples. She's got like four on each side!
Oooo the books (complete with their EDGES) have arrived! 📚 Thank you @flyonthewallpress.bsky.social; they are beautiful! ✨️
🤣😭
A book ban is just a low profile book burning.
Same cicada, same.
Make art that pisses off Republicans. Make it so great and so inviting and then bury your anti-fascist, anti-bigot, pro-trans, pro-diversity, pro-democracy, pro-bodily-autonomy message at its very heart. Make them love it before they have an aneurism from their hate for it.

Some idiot has come up with an AI that designs dress patterns, you just know it.
No accounting for taste. It's my favorite show.

In some cases that "want" is more like a "need."
It also throws up a straw man argument that the drug companies withhold data showing COVID vaccine efficacy. As if the CDC doesn't have tons of studies showing that. They do. RFK, Jr just ignores that data and supplants it with his bullshit suppositions.
This week, I finish the draft for NOD.
Reminder that if you want to write a story, start by writing the story, not endlessly worldbuilding about it.
I did this with Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel for a long time. Tim is the better actor.
This was not written by Trump.
If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.

I've lived long enough to see Apple rise and fall as the world's true north for user interface design and user friendly devices. There isn't a replacement for what Apple meant to the industry. Apple leaves a big hole. But their UI and UX design team have become shit.
Physical fitness is not a sign of health. For example, a former heroin addict with spasmodic dysphonia and a known parasitic brain worm can train to do 100 pull-ups.
Same vibe.
If nothing else, the accumulated damage done by two Trump presidencies will provide ample proof of the benefits federal programs used to provide. It may take a generation to get to rebuild those programs, but hey.
Time to put away all the short sleeved shirts and light colors.

For any Texan Republicans out there: The way you feel about Jerry Jones's leadership of the Cowboys is the same way the country feels about Trump's leadership of the country. 1 to 1.
You are in control of your life. It may not seem like it. But you are in control of the ways in which your life seems out of your control. You may not have it on Bluesky, but in your life, you have an edit button.
I had the version without the safety features.
When you have nearly infinite wealth, your only currency is attention. Who listens to you? Who follows you? When wealth becomes meaningless as a reward system, what replaces it is ego gratification.
The problem with current #StarTrek is the loss of subtext. Everything needs to be text now. The beauty of the past Treks was their stories were imbued with complex and rich subtext.

Oh internet! Where a 30 second video is preceded by a 30 second un-skippable ad.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Every character in the story must want something from the characters they interact with even if what they want is to be left alone.

The whole internet has taken to manifesting one a-holes demise. It's got to mean something.
