Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Something I wish more people would realize.

I wanted to leave a comment on Princess Weekes' video about all the adaptations of "Carrie" (including the cursed musical), but I started overthinking it, and now I can't stop.

Tesla anticipating governmental lack of investment in infrastructure maintenance 🤔

Went to a toy show yesterday and somehow came home with a Boulder Hill. It's all a bit fuzzy. Just need to find a place to display the thing...

Taking commissions for November, RTs are appreciated! 🧡🧡 If you are interested please contact me via e-mail: chirunax@gmail.com Full info: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I recently read some good non-fiction books (the JMS autobiography Becoming Superman, the Frank Herbert biography Dreamer of Dune, and Max Evry's 1984 Dune book A Masterpiece in Disarray) that I wanted to talk about for a few minutes on my YouTube channel: youtu.be/LHJ78IMVbBE?...

I can hear this photo.

Just New York Comic Con things: • Dr. Peter Weller told me that Buckaroo Banzai is actor Dennis Haysbert's favorite movie • Watched the masterful Bill Sienkiewicz at work • Got Timothy Zahn to sign my childhood copy of Heir to the Empire • I should probably get into Mouse Guard

I'll be at NYCC tomorrow only, in a stroll around, meet new people & buy all the books capacity. Hope to see some of you there!

I don't have to see it, Dottie. I lived it.

The Star Husks is here! Eriss has four arms and an extra brain, making her the only starship pilot who is her own copilot. She also has chronic anxiety. That’s not as helpful. Her most recent worry? It looks like her brain has been hacked. #spaceopera #booksky 🪐💙 www.amazon.com/Star-Husks-B...

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

I’ve got sequential work projects to keep me going for the next few months but I am looking for cover/pin-up work. Here are some samples, and more at my portfolio page, here: ahmedraafathussein.myportfolio.com/pin-upscovers Shares much appreciated!

and knitting and knitting and knitting!

Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?!

Tidal knows not to put it in my Discovery Playlist, and I don’t really watch the news (the news covers songs now? With everything else going on?), so stuff like this is bound to pass me by. I'm not the target market. But it's not like I wear that ignorance like a badge of honor. Maybe I should?

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

We’re just normal men

Glen A. Larson and Leslie Stevens' Buck Rogers in the 25th Century started 47 years ago today on NBC. "20th century astronaut Buck Rogers emerges out of 500 years of suspended animation into the 25th century to become Earth's greatest hero and to explore deep space."

Commenting here for anyone who wants to use my blocklist!

This took me so ... long ... But when a pun comes to you, you have to do it justice.

Late-night TV, bad movies, commercials, and plenty of absurdity collide in Amazon Women on the Moon. TFH Fearless Leader Joe Dante joins John Landis, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Horton, and Robert K. Weiss behind the camera. trailersfromhell.com/amazon-women...
