Book 55 of #adamreads2026 down - Easy As It Gets by Ed Robins! Currently the last book in the Murder on the Starship Australis series and definitely the bleakest of them, I'd say, but a good read regardless of the grimness! I enjoyed this series 😊

Book 54 of #adamreads2026 - A Violent Man by Ed Robins! Serial killers and childhood traumas collide for our troubleshooting protagonist in the third book of the series. It's a trope of noir fiction that the hero never gets a break and this continues that fine tradition 😁

Book 53 of #adamreads2026 - Murder in the Grey by Ed Robins! Continuing the Murder on the Starship Australis series, this one sees drugs, corrupt nobility and sex games gone wrong drag our hapless Gumshoe down dangerous streets. A lot of fun once again!

Book 52 of #adamreads2026 down - Chivalry Will Get You Dead by Ed Robins! Very British / Irish feeling pulp noir story but set on a generation ship hurtling through space rather than the mean city. All the tropes you know and love are there. A fun popcorn read and three more in the series to go!

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

Watched THAT episode last night. Damn. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, it hits so hard. Is there any other episode in television history that is so relentlessly devastating?

We are saddened to say goodbye to our dear friend, Oscar-winning actress Eva Marie Saint. One of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, we’ll forever be grateful for unforgettable contributions to cinema, her generosity and her humor. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

When I was writing about the System in Gnomon it felt considerably more distant than this. That book came out in 2017/18 and people laughed (if nervously) at the idea of your networked washing machine spying on you for a ubiquitous AI which was just there to improve your life.

As someone who vaguely understands that football is a "sport", I came up with a rather eloquent way of getting out of fantasy leagues: "No thanks." If you need AI to make up shit for your made-up shit, it's time to question your priorities.

Matt Binder@mattbinder.bsky.social

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

(This is in no way meant to disparage those of you who like made-up shit like fantasy football. I use pretty much all my personal time to sit around making up stories about a detective on a starship after all. BUT, to get to the point, I don't use AI for that either).
