Gorgo Forever

Dear Academy Awards producers/show runners: you have months to make sure your In Memoriam segment has Walter Koening included.

They need to change “E Pluribus unum” to “Like and subscribe”.

Oh yeah, this won't blow up in their faces at all. Nope. They're safe and sound. I should bookmark this for a few months from now when the CNBC headline is "Microsoft hiring back everyone they offered buyouts too in massive failure of AI"

Ad astra, Mr. Chekov

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Oh, dear. I had the good fortune to meet him a few times at conventions and had lunch with him once in Australia. Such a lovely fellow and of course an iconic figure in science fiction. RIP.

RAGBRAI (The Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) is one of the most celebrated bike rides in the world.

The rising costs detailed here apply mostly to mainstream cons. Indie cons are getting out of hand, too. I only attend either if all my costs are paid. But I'm a prima donna, and I don't need con income. If I was still hitting the road trying to make a name, yeah it would tough.

What started as a hobby for Iowan Dick Klemensen in the early '70s connected him to a much larger network of horror fans — and the directors, stars, composers, special effects artists and executives behind his favorite Hammer horror classics. littlevillagemag.com/little-shopp...

The Digital Dunkirk: Why We Have to Bet on Bluesky Just as Ukraine regrets relying on Elon, we’ll regret relying on X, Meta, and Palantir. But we can’t say we didn’t see it coming.

Got a soft spot for the shy ones? Boy do we have the guy for you! Rodan is today's featured dog for Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, and he is as sweet as he is handsome...but there's a catch. Rodan is super nervous of pretty much everything.

We need more men like Dan Levy and fewer men like Shane Gillis. Stop being complacent. Stand up and call this shit out when it happens. www.instagram.com/p/DeYSYNXMcbH/

The new “Knights of Guinevere” was pretty awesome. My only complaint is having to wait for the next installment.

There is a new non-profit physical media video rental store in Northampton, Mass that is bringing back the old ways and people like it so much the store is expanding. www.visionsvideo.org

Time to dust off this chestnut: if a dog doesn’t like a person, trust their instinct.

Dune loves to romp and play with his fellow shelter pals in playgroup, and he loves toys and is known to fling them around to entertain himself. He'd really like a home that can provide good structure and consistency for him.

I'm willing to bet there are more comic book dealers at www.mncba.org than NYCC, despite being a fraction of the size. I know it will be just as fun. Join me this weekend!

Dr. Connors, I presume

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Be patient and kind to those who are making art right now. We're all self-funded and the richest, worst people in the world are trying to plaster over and erase our hard work.

Okay, well, here it is again then:

You could pick any of the cast members of #SlowHorses to be the next Doctor, but I think Tom Brooke would be a brilliant choice.
