Why have they used the Finnish poster for it?
This is a superb piece of radio drama. Also a fantastic adaptation of the novella. Recommended listen.
The london one is lovely. It’s basically the same, but less sea water in the basement.
And Sam’s museum is so much fun. Had a lovely day out there a couple of years ago
He’s lovely. Had a good chat when I visited his museum and donated him a synth. I’m so glad the song is good
Ooh. Series 2 of Deadloch is on its way. First one was superb.
I think it’s probably permanently true as a story
A post from the Islington Gazette on social media with a picture of an empty park and the headline “Female in hospital in unknown condition after incident in Islington”
There’s clickbait headlines and then there’s whatever this is @apiln.bsky.social:
I’m disappointed in the difference in the search stats between ‘1’ and ‘2’ :)
Ah my favourite Microsoft Azure error is back. How I’ve missed you. Connecting to their portal in a web browser and it sends back a fancy image of a crying cloud and “There in on Internet connection. You must have an Internet connection to access the Azure portal.”
Really ups the confidence levels
My kids thought you were some sort of god :)
Hang on - that was you? I saw you do that at the RI
Listening party on Bandcamp this Weds. March 4th 2026 celebrating the vinyl re-issue of Soundtracks For Living Deluxe Edition!!! 1pm PST thegentlepeople.bandcamp.com/merch/soundt...
Every speech on the subject given by any involved party begins by deploring even the idea of war. A war here would not be legal or useful. It is not necessary or appropriate. It must be avoided. Immediately following this proud declamation comes a series of circumlocutions, circumventions and rhetorico-circumambulations which make it clear that we will go to war, but not really, because we don’t want to and aren’t allowed to, so what we’re doing is in fact some kind of hyper-violent peace in which people will die. We are going to un-war.
The difficulty is what happens next, which is that various nations and groups of nations who are notionally friendly to one another and here for identical, similar or compatible purposes get into disagreements. The good kind of disagreement comes to an end with harsh words and apologies, but disagreements between men and women trained to kill and armed with the best weapons available, who know that they are disagreeing with people who are similarly trained and equipped, are generally the other sort. Giving someone a jolly good talking-to becomes an exchange of warning shots and suddenly there’s a minor battle going on. Minor battles become international incidents; international incidents foster distrust; distrust fosters conflict.
It’s almost as if, now that this place exists as a war zone, everyone feels it would be rude not to use it.
Cover of the UK paperback of The Gone-Away World: black with red spatters or cracks stretching horizontally across the middle. What text with the title abd my name.
It is SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE, you bastards
It really doesn’t - what they’ve done is assume that (their name)@gmail.com is their email. Whereas it’s actually yours.
I have two namesakes who do this. The uk one is mostly harmless, but I cancelled the hunting licence of the US one.
We have photo evidence of the cat using the toilet, which is great news. Slight downside is that if the lid is down I know she’s using the sink instead.
And her sister is still stealth weeing everywhere she thinks you are going to blearily stand in it in the morning.
That’s what you get for using teabags
But of course.
The twins have spent most of the day hiding a printout of a gorilla giving the finger around the house to surprise each other. One just asked if they could use a ladder later on to stick it to the outside of their twin’s bedroom window after they’ve closed their curtains.
Well that’s very sensible. Thank you :)
My 16y/o put it on, so yes? But that was only because they wanted to see if Geese won anything
Ok. I’m missing why it’s obvious that they need to be square. They just need to fit into each other, don’t they?
Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.
I should have guessed from the title, but I really wasn’t expecting a book about the early years of the atomic bomb, the communist revolution and spying to have so much about Polo in it.
To maintain the delicate balance between war and peace, if you’ve stopped that many you’ve got to start a few to make up for
As I was taking this a woman walked past and said “they’re fucking cool aren’t they?”
you think you've seen the whole movie, and then the alt text reveals you haven't even finished act two
You’ve been promoted? ;)
